Why are the lights on my dishwasher flashing?

Dishwasher lights flashing

When your dishwasher lights start flashing, it can be confusing. You’re probably thinking “why are the lights flashing?!” As well, when the lights are flashing, it usually means the dishwasher has stopped working, which is frustrating.

There are a few reasons why the dishwasher lights may be flashing:

• Heating element isn’t heating water to proper temperature
• Dishwasher door was opened during a cycle
• There was a power interruption during a cycle
• The door was unlatched while the machine was set for a delay start
• The buttons were pressed too many times
• Child lock function is on

Before looking into a repair, you can try resetting your dishwasher and see if that works.
