Inglis Dishwasher lights flashing or blinking

If your Inglis dishwasher lights are flashing or blinking, the machine is usually telling you something in the heating or control system is not right. The most common cause is a failed heating element or heating element assembly, since the control panel may start flashing when the water does not reach the proper temperature in time. Next, check the water inlet valve, because poor filling can also trigger dishwasher lights flashing, followed by the door latch and its internal micro switch, which can interrupt operation and cause dishwasher lights blinking or a dishwasher blinking and not starting. If those parts test good, the problem may be a failed control board or main control board that is not sending power correctly or has shorted internally. Use a multimeter to check continuity where appropriate, and compare any flashing pattern to the fault codes in your owner’s manual. To make sure you get the exact Inglis replacement part, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com and match your dishwasher to the correct heating element, water inlet valve, door latch, control board, or main control board.

01 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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 - Inglis 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.

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.
