Error Code: CLEAN LIGHT FLASHING Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Indicates the completion of a wash cycle and that the dishes are clean.
How to Fix CLEAN LIGHT FLASHING Error (Step-by-Step)
- After restoring power, open the dishwasher and inspect the heating element at the bottom of the tub. Look for any visible signs of damage, breaks, or severe corrosion.
- If the element appears intact, the issue might be with the high-limit thermostat that works with the heater.
- To access these parts, you will need to turn the power off again and remove the lower access panel below the dishwasher door.
- Locate the terminals for the heating element and the small high-limit thermostat (8578828) attached nearby. Ensure the wire connections are tight and not corroded.
- If connections are secure and the problem continues, the heating element (W10518394) or thermostat may need to be replaced.
- After checking connections or replacing parts, reassemble the access panel, restore power, and run a wash cycle to check for proper heating.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
