Dishwasher Lights Flashing

Why Are My Dishwasher Lights Flashing?

Are Flashing or Blinking Lights on Your Dishwasher Worrying You?
Flashing lights on a dishwasher can indicate a problem with one of the microswitches inside the door latch assembly. To determine if the microswitch is the culprit, a multitester should be used to test the switch for continuity. If the switch lacks continuity, it should be replaced, along with the entire latch assembly. Additionally, a flashing light can result from various issues, ranging from a blocked filter to a faulty heating element. Most dishwasher models have specific light patterns corresponding to different issues, so it's wise to check your user manual for guidance.

Common Causes of Dishwasher Flashing Lights:

• Insufficient Door Closing: Often, the door may be partially open, causing the dishwasher to lock mid-cycle and flash to alert you of the issue.
• Filter or Drain Blockage: Clogged filters or drains can prevent the dishwasher from draining water, leading to blinking lights.
• Control Panel Issues: Electrical faults in the control panel can cause the lights to flash on and off intermittently.

Start by checking if the door is properly closed and latched. Next, inspect the filter and drain inside the dishwasher for any blockages and clean them if necessary.
