Try the instructions listed at this site. If the problem still occurs after the reset it is usually the heater element that might be faulty.

The dishwasher lights are all blinking, it starts randomly, like one in every 50 times you press the buttons. I have unplugged it to reset several times. Nothing is working. I'm looking for a solution to blinking lights and it not starting. is there any other way to reset the controls????

I just read this for the same problem: push sanitize, then heat and dry, sanitize, heat and dry, sanitize, heat and dry, cancel, then open and close the door. It worked. The dishwasher is running correctly even as I type this.

"unlock" the machine by pressing on '3' and holding for a few seconds. Thats what it says on the back of my dishwasher which is the exact same model.

My Maytag MDB6160AWW finished its last cycle with a blinking "clean" light. I didn't think much of it. And somehow cleared the lights. When I filled it up and wanted to start a wash it will light up,

Blinking clean light is an error code does it blink 7 time pause then repeat that would be a heat circuit problem fast blinking a stuck key behind the lower panel should be a tech sheet explaining how to determine what the code is

Dishwasher will operate only 10 min before stopping cycle

Check for places food could get stuck and clog the workings, including the drain hose.

Clean light blinks

clean light blinks is a form of error codes. The most common is a heater circuit error, 7 times then a pause is the heater. to clear the code press the heated dry then normal in a key dance 4 times. this starts a diagnostic cycle, takes several min to complete. let it run. it will work until it sees the fault again. this code is caused when the main control does not read a water temp increase 3 times in a row. If this continues call for service.

Dishwasher Clean light blinks constantly.

Try turning off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker box. leave the power off for 5 10 mins and then turn breaker back on and try to restart dishwasher. This may reset the board and it may work
