I have not seen this and cannot find any info on it.
Hopefully someone else has a solution for it.
I would run the diagnostics and see what if any problems show up.
Sounds like it may have something to do with the turbidity sensor.
Not quite sure of the problem.
The unit completes the cycle (dry and everything), then 9 flashes and then it starts a new cycle.
Is this correct?
Yes, as far as we can tell the cycle completes. No water in the bottom, dishes clean, etc.
I have run the field diagnostic test described in the info you sent. the test completed succesfuly and seems to have cleared the memory from the flashing 9. thanks for your help dan12
