Haier Dishwasher lights flashing or blinking

If your Haier dishwasher lights are flashing or blinking, the machine is usually telling you the water is not heating the way it should. The most likely cause is a failed heating element, followed closely by a bad heating element assembly. If either part cannot bring the water to operating temperature in time, the dishwasher control panel may start flashing error lights. Next most likely is a faulty water inlet valve, which can keep the dishwasher from filling properly, and then a bad door latch or latch micro switch that prevents the cycle from running normally. In some cases, the problem is in the control board or main control board, especially if the dishwasher lights blinking happens without another obvious symptom. For a Haier dishwasher blinking and not starting, checking these parts in this order is the fastest way to narrow it down. RepairClinic.com makes that easier by letting you enter your model number to find the exact Haier replacement part that fits your dishwasher, whether you need a heating element, heating element assembly, water inlet valve, door latch, control board, or main control board.

01 - Haier 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.

04 - Haier 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.

05 - Haier 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.

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.
