    The green start light on my dishwasher flashes four times and won't start

  • pblair36 Jan 25, 2009



    My Whirlpool Gold Silent Partner III is 4 years old and has never been any good at cleaning the dishes. Now, it just blinks and can;t be started. I strongly encourage those searcing for a new dishwasher to consider another brand.

I have a Whirlpool gold Quiet partner III. The Normal button of the cycle is blinking and I can't start the dish washer. What is going on?

most likely the door switch is not making contact or is faulty. Shut the door tightly and see if it makes any difference.

Please provide the full model number of the dishwasher in case you need further help.

Whirlpool gold

First press your "Sani-rinse" button and the your "Heat Dry" button and toggle between them a couple times. This will reset your control module. If the clean light continues to blink then it means that your heating element needs replacing.  This is not a big job, either. You will need to order a new element and come back for instructions if you can't figure it out quickly....

Whirlpool gold- quiet partner III

An angel of mercy on another blog posted this solution and it worked for me as well. My Whirlpool Quiet Partner Dishwasher would not work due to the CLEAN light flashing in 7 interval sequences. I followed these steps and my dishwasher is not working perfectly...hope it works for you:

"Well for mine which is a Whirlpool Gold Model # GU2400XTPS3, I found the seq of buttons that I had to push to reset the curcuit board. I think it may of been in this forum somewhere. But I had to push - Sani Rinse, Heated Dry, Sani Rinse, Heated Dry, and then the dishwasher went through it's diagnostic cycle and then after that the light stopped blinking and the dishwasher works great. Supposily, there is a Product Tech Sheet behide the kick panel of every dishwasher, but mine was gone so I had to find the information on the internet. You might want to do a serach for the correct seq of buttons you have to push to reset the curcuit board. If you know for sure that the heating element is bad, you will have to order one. "
