That is usually indicating a leakage error, which means water has leaked down into the base of the dishwasher. You'll have to pull the dishwasher out, pull off the side panels, and dry up all the water, but you still have the problem of figuring out where the leak came from and fixing the problem before you can use the dishwasher. The most common source of leakage in a Samsung DW is the drain pump and/or drain hose.

SOURCE: Samsung dishwasher flashing heavy light

Had a look in the user manual for your dishwasher.http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201211/20121101114232459/DW7933LRASR-00141A-02.pdf

Page 26 shows blinking Heavy light means there is leakage in the dishwasher. Most likely there is water in the base under the drain sump which could cause the flood switch to trip. Turn mains power to dishwasher off. Pull it out from under kitchen bench without breaking the hoses. Put some towels on the floor and turn dishwasher back and forth on incline to get water out. Wait a little and turn on. If no difference then you need to dry the base and find the source of the leak. More likely the door seal.

SOURCE: Samsung dishwasher flashing heavy light

Anytime a dishwasher stops mid cycle and blinks, it is usually because of clogged drain port, and safety switch prevents next cycle, so just blinks. You will probably see bottom of tub filled with water, and float switch is preventing next cycle which is calling for more water, and obviously there is not enough room, so shuts down next cycle. Remove as much water as you can with wet vac or turkey baster to suck out water, then try and see if cycle starts.

Remove bottom of tub filter, look for drain hole usually at back of tub and see if it is clogged, usually visible at top of drain. Pretty easy to fix, just clean out the area of food waste or broken piece from glass, another common sudden blockage. If you have wet vac, place it over drain hole and cup your hand around nozzle of vac and hole to creat seal and suction to insure clog isn't in drain hose.

Samsung dishwasher stuck in drain cycle eaven with door open and normal and heavy lights blinking

If your dishwasher is stuck in the drain cycle and the lights are flashing, it may be due to a faulty drain pump. You should check the drain pump and hose for any blockages or clogs. If these parts are clear, then the next step is to check the wiring between the dishwasher and the drain pump. If there is a loose wire or a broken connection, then this could be causing the issue. If the wiring seems fine, then the issue may be with the control board or the drain pump itself. If this is the case, then you will need to replace either of these parts to get your dishwasher back to working order.

Samsung dishwasher heavy and delicate lights blink and cycle stops

The lights that are blinking are indicating an error code--the particular code you describe is a "heater error". You will have to check the circuit for an open heater element, loose or broken wire, defective main control board. The part number for the main board is DE92-02256C. Hope I helped you!
