Norge Dishwasher lights flashing or blinking

If your Norge dishwasher lights are flashing or blinking, the machine is usually telling you the water is not heating fast enough or a key component is not responding. On this symptom, the most likely cause is a failed heating element, followed by a bad heating element assembly. If either part has lost continuity, the dishwasher may not reach the target temperature in time and the control panel can start flashing error lights. Next most common are a faulty water inlet valve that is not letting in enough water, a bad door latch or latch microswitch that is interrupting operation, and then a control board or main control board problem. For a Norge dishwasher with lights blinking and not starting normally, check the owner’s manual for fault codes, then test parts with a multimeter where possible. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to match the fix to your machine. Enter your model number to find the exact Norge replacement part, whether you need a heating element, heating element assembly, water inlet valve, door latch, control board, or main control board.

01 - Norge Dishwasher Heating Element

The heating element heats up the water to operating temperature. If the water doesn’t reach the proper temperature after a set amount of time, a light on the control panel might start flashing. To determine if the heating element has burned out, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the heating element does not have continuity, replace it.

03 - Norge Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

If the dishwasher lights are flashing or blinking, the cause could be a faulty water inlet valve. You can use a multimeter to test the valve's solenoids for electrical continuity to help determine if the component is functioning properly or not.

Highly Likely

04 - Norge Dishwasher Door Latch

A dishwasher's lights flashing or blinking could indicate a problem with a micro switch inside the door latch assembly. To determine if the micro switch is at fault, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it or the entire latch assembly.

Highly Likely

05 - Norge Dishwasher Control Board

The control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. It's possible that the board has shorted and is causing the lights to flash or blink unexpectedly. Check the owner’s manual for possible fault codes as one of the components may have failed. If the control board is not sending power to one of the components, it's likely the control board is at fault and will need to be replaced.

06 - Norge Dishwasher Main Control Board

The main control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. It's possible that the board has shorted and is causing the lights to flash or blink. Check the owner’s manual for possible fault codes as one of the components may have failed. If the control board is not sending power to one of the components, it's likely the main control board is at fault and will need to be replaced.
