I too had Flashing Clean light and only responded to Cancel light by trying to drain. Whirlpool Model DU1145. I too got problem to clear by pushing High temp,Heated dry, High temp and Heated dry. All lights on display lit up then it went through sequences of all cycles.
There was a heater quality rework on this model and depending on your serial number, yours could be included. The flashing clean light is because the thermistor did not detect 2 to 4 temp increase in the water during the first 8 minutes of the wash cycle. I believe you can clear the error by pressing high temp then air dry then high temp and air dry again. This will put it into the service mode. Just let it do it's thing. If you had the rework done on the heater, other possibilities would be door latch not closing proper. The nuetral side of the heater runs through the door switch. Make sure to let the tap water run hot before you start the dishwasher. The heater itself will ohm out at 10 to 35 ohms. Hope the information helps out..
I was haveing a problem with my Whirlpool dishwasher. The clean light kept blinking. The control panel was unresponsive save for the drain button. After reading this posting I tried the suggestion on my dishwasher. After pushing the high temp and the dry buttons nothing happened. I kept trying switching from different cycles trying to remember what action I was trying to do the last time I used the dishwasher. Finally on rinse only, high temp, and dry it spun to life. The dishwasher cycled through nearly all the options on the display console for about 5-10 minutes. It looked like a blinking christmas tree alternating through the cycles. But so far so good it seems to be back to normal operations. Thank-you
If Whirlpool DUL240XTPQ3 had "Ready" light is blinking in series of 7 times you can "reset" unit by
pressing sequence normal, heated dry, normal, heated dry
I have a Whirlpool Quiet Partner II DU1145 model and the clean just started flashing. I had a technician come out and he told me there is a common problem with the heating circuit in many of these models but sometimes the computers glitches up. After getting back with me, he recommended me to hit the heated dry and normal button at the same time and then repeat it once more all within 6 seconds. When I did that, all of the lights blinked and it went through its last cycle it was on and is currently working.
I pressed sani-rinse, heated dry, sani-rinse, heated dry, and it re-set the control panel. Has been working since. I have also read that some people have tried pressing normal, heated dry, normal, heated dry... and that worked as well. Maybe different for different models. I have the whirlpool quiet partner 111. Good luck
Press start button pump starts then green light flashes and then it stops
I didn't find an "AIR DRY", so I pressed high temp & heated dry twice as suggested by catriver...and it cleared after going thru the cycle. Thanks a lot.
One more option (over "catriver" solution) is to check if you have water in the machine. In case there is no water in the machine, let me know and I will instruct you how to go on with problem's solution. Good luck !

Ihave a whirlpool model DU1145 - the clean light is flashing . The washer won't start.
I had the same problem... clean light is flashing and the washer will not start. Catriver's advice was right on; press high temp, heat dry, high temp, heat dry. All the lights lit up for a few seconds and the dishwasher then operated correctly. Thanks catriver!!!!
This solution worked for me as well. And I found this paged while I was on hold waiting to schedule a service visit, THANK YOU!
