Error Code: CLEAN LIGHT FLASHING (7 TIMES) Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Problem with the heating circuit. The dishwasher is not able to heat the water to the required temperature.
How to Fix CLEAN LIGHT FLASHING (7 TIMES) Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker.
- Access the heating element at the bottom of the dishwasher tub.
- Disconnect the wires from the heating element terminals and test the element for continuity using a multimeter. A lack of continuity indicates a faulty element that needs replacement.
- If the heating element has continuity, locate the high-limit thermostat, usually mounted on the bottom of the tub.
- Test the thermostat for continuity. It should have continuity at room temperature. If not, it needs to be replaced.
- Inspect the wiring to the heating element and thermostat for any signs of damage or loose connections.
- If both the heating element and thermostat are functional, the problem may lie with the main control board, which will likely require professional service.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
