Why won't it operate?

Heavy, delicate, quick and heavy lights remain on, not blinking. Turned off power for one minute. Still doesn't run.

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.

Good luck, FREE-BUSINESSES.com

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!

Coffee pot located on counter directly above dishwasher leaked coffee down front of dishwasher. Heavy light began flashing and will not stop. What can I do?

Actually, I think some coffee got down into the base and triggered the flood sensor. (Or it may coincedentally be that your dishwasher has a leak that triggered the flood sensor). You would have to pull the DW out, remove the panel on the left and right-hand sides, and dry all the water (or coffee) out.

Normal, heavy, delicate lights stuck on--cant power on or off

If you have tried to unplug from mains power and there is no difference then you will need to provide the actual model number of your dishwasher in comments field.
The Samsung error codes for Normal, Heavy , Delicate lights stuck is not listed. The closest is Normal, Heavy, Quick which relates to a Low Water level. Also confirm which lights are stuck in your case and whether these are flashing or not.

All my lights on the front of the dishwasher are blinking at me & stops running after 3 minutes into the cycle. What is the cause of this & of course, I am two months past my warranty. Help.

If three lights are blinking (normal, heavy, quick)... I just had this same problem, and I think I figured it out. There was water on the bottom from the last cycle, so I pressed HEAVY and DELICATE at the same time for 3 seconds (you'll see it printed on the control panel), and the unit drained. I was then able to start the new cycle normally without the error. Hope that helps!
