Blinking lights do not always indicate an error code. On some models, the current status of the cycle will cause lights to blink. Before assuming that blinking lights indicate an issue with the dishwasher, check if the dishwasher is experiencing any other issues or symptoms of any kind.

If the dishwasher displays a combination of flashing lights that is not included in this list, troubleshoot the issue the dishwasher is experiencing. You can search our support content for an article that addresses your issue directly. Otherwise, if your dishwasher is operating normally, no action is needed.
