Console light blinks rapidly The control detects a stuck button on the control panel A failed control panel or a malfunctioning electronic control board can cause this code. Check the buttons on the control panel using a volt/ohm meter. In most cases, the control panel must be replaced. If that doesn't solve the problem, the electronic control board might be at fault Control panel, Electronic control board
Start/Resume light blinks slowly If the dishwasher door is opened or power is interrupted during the cycle, the dishwasher won't start again until the door is detected as closed and the Start/Resume button is pressed Check the door latch and switch assembly. A failure in the Start/Resume button also can cause this problem Door switch assembly, Control panel, Electronic control board

Sanitized LED blinks at end of cycle Control could not confirm Sanitation water temperature was achieved The heating element must stay on for 10 minutes when heating water for the sanitation cycle and water temperature must reach 150 degrees. Check incoming water temperature. If incoming water temperature is below 120 degrees, the heating element may not heat the water to 150 degrees. If incoming water temperature is above 150 degrees the heating element may not stay on for 10 minutes so the sanitation error may occur. If incoming water temperature is okay, check the heating element for damage. Replace the heating element if it's damaged or it doesn't heat Heating element
