Default Dishwasher Software Malfunction?
Model Number: fl5002888   Brand: Whirlpool   Age: 1 - 5 years   

Several minutes after starting in the normal cycle the dishwasher stops. The green lights are flashing and I can't get it to reset or restart. I am unable to run a full cycle … 20 - 40 minutes later I can push the drain button and 50% of the time it drains. I have tried on more than several occasions to run the washer in different modes but none seem to work, this appears to be a software problem. Do I need a new board? I'm trying to avoid an expensive service call. Thank you in advance for your help.

Doug

Hi Doug,

I could not find anything on that model. Was this one made in the US or is it from Canada?

The green light that is flashing, is it the clean light?

If so it sounds like the problem a lot of the whirlpool dishwashers had with the heating cycle.

I'm not sure about where the unit was built although the manual is also in French. The flashing lights coincide with the buttons depressed but not always or all of them. Any ideas? Should I remove the board and take it in for bench test or just call for service?

Thanks,
Doug

PS sorry but the model# is DUL200
