Error Code: CLEAN LIGHT FLASHING Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Indicates the completion of a wash cycle and that the dishes are clean.
How to Fix CLEAN LIGHT FLASHING Error (Step-by-Step)
- Begin by ensuring safety. Go to your home’s circuit breaker panel and turn off the power to the dishwasher. Also, turn off the hot water supply valve, which is typically located under your kitchen sink.
- To access the necessary parts, you will need to slide the dishwasher out from under the counter. First, remove the lower kick plate at the bottom of the dishwasher.
- Locate the heating element, which is a large, circular tube at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Disconnect the two wires attached to it. Using a multimeter set to test for ohms, check the element for continuity. A normal reading is between 10 and 30 ohms. If the meter reads infinity, the element is broken and must be replaced.
- Find the high-limit thermostat. It’s a small, round component mounted on the bottom of the tub. Disconnect its wires and test for continuity. At room temperature, it should have a reading close to zero ohms. If it shows no continuity, it needs to be replaced.
- If you find a faulty part, replace it with a new one, making sure to connect the wires securely.
- Carefully slide the dishwasher back into its place and re-install the kick plate.
- Turn the power and water supply back on and run a test cycle to confirm the repair.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
