How to Fix RED LIGHT ON FLOOR (INFOLIGHT) Error (Step-by-Step)

Observe the steady red light projected onto the floor below your dishwasher.
Recognize that this light, known as InfoLight, is a normal operational feature and not an error indicator.
Understand that the red light’s purpose is to show that a wash cycle is currently in progress. This is especially useful for fully integrated models where the control panel is not visible.
Do not attempt to open the dishwasher while this light is on, as hot water and steam may be released.
Wait for the wash and dry cycle to complete. The red light will automatically turn off once the cycle has finished.
Once the light is off, it is safe to open the dishwasher and unload your clean dishes.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
