How to Fix FRONT STATUS LIGHT: BLUE Error (Step-by-Step)

Recognize that a solid blue light means the dishwasher is currently in the washing phase of its cycle.
Understand that no action is required from you at this time.
Avoid opening the dishwasher door, as this will interrupt the cycle and could let hot water or steam escape.
Allow the dishwasher to continue its cycle uninterrupted and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
The light will change to red to indicate the drying phase or white when the cycle is complete.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.

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