Hello,

My dishwasher is 3 years old and last week it was making very loud noises and now today it isn't working.

The green light blinks clean. When I push start it blinks 3x and does nothing. When I push cancel it says 2 minutes for the time remaining and makes noise for 2 minutes and shuts off.

If I push normal wash and push start it blinks 3x and shuts off. Or if I push any button to wash and push start it blinks 3x and does nothing.

Is this something I can fix myself?

Maybe, sounds like its locked. Push and hold for about 5 seconds to unlock it on my whilpool its the air dry button but consult your owners manual or get it on this website maybe. The 2 min thing is normal for canceling though. Good luck, I'm waiting for parts for mine. Bonac

I have a Whirlpool Silent Partner III model number GU1200XTLQ3. The other day I discovered the lights on the control panel were blinking on and off continuously. I attempted to push the cancel button, holding it for about 3 or 4 seconds, but nothing happened. I then tried the other buttons and nothing. I went out to the breaker box and cut the power. I waited for about 5 minutes and then reset the circuit breaker. The machine attempted to restart, but stopped suddenly and the lights began flashing on the control panel again. I cut the power once again and began searching the internet for clues. I finally stumbled across this forum where I read a post about resting the dishwasher by pressing and holding a button for approximately 4 seconds. By this time it had been about 24 hours since my dishwasher had power. I went out and turned the circuit breaker back on. My machine began it's wash cycle and I waited with cross fingers. I press the cancel button and the machine stopped. I loaded some dishes and pressed a wash option. The machine started again and seems to be operating properly again. I guess I unknowingly reset the machine by leaving the power off for awhile. I don't know if this information will help anyone, but I posted my experience in hopes that it will save someone some money.
