I have reset, plugged and unplugged, checked the circuit breaker, all OK. I want to override this darn blinking light! Washer ran fine this morning. There is no load in the washing machine. I haven't the foggiest idea what to do, it is a holiday weekend, and I have laundry to do! And it is 24F degrees with flurries predicted! HELP!
Obviously there is an issue, perhaps a safety issue.
Suggest don't over-ride anything.
Check your owner's manual to see what blinking light indicates.
SOURCE: Kitchenaid Superba top load washer not working
You have a lid switch and bracket. Most likely it is one or the other.

if this is a flash fault code consult your manual to see what the code is telling you then relist the code for some more advice.

Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly.
With electronic controlled appliances today and in this case your dishwasher. The printed circuit board (PCB) transformers are very susceptible to power surges. The windings are just large enough for the normal operational voltages. Anything above or below that range causes the windings to fail rapidly. When they fail you do not get the 5V or 3.3 V for the LEDs ' and IC chips or the 12V for the controlling the relays for normal operation.
I don't see a model number listed for your dishwasher so I can not provide the replacement part information at this time.
Before I went into the parts changing mode I would first go back and reset every breaker in the house by:
1. Pushing each breaker with conviction to the OFF position. This completely resets the breaker.
2. As you turn each of the breaker ON push hard on the face of the breaker near the center of the main panel to ensure it remains connected / engaged to the main power buss bar.
Then go back and check the dishwasher for signs of life. If it works great! If not.... I will be watching for model number information if you need help with the dishwasher control parts information.
Just a side note... you may want to check your home owners insurance coverage (if your a home owner) to see if it covers repair of equipment other than the one that caused the original problem.
Thanks for using FixYa.

Hello Gene Frank - Typically error code DR indicates an issue with the door switch and wiring not communicating correctly or closing properly. Try resetting the washer by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and if it proves to be ineffective, contact a professional to move forward accurately.

rlbstein: thank you for posting to me. I was helped by tech17. His instructions to me allowed me to fix it myself and start my laundry. The on control light was blinking. I had checked the plug, the circuit breaker, and pushed the control/off twice per the troubleshooting manual. I had doublechecked my dispenser door to ensure it was closed. tech17 had me close the door to my front loading machine rather hard; that solved the problem. He advised me that sometimes the lock/latch don't match up, which causes a problem. If you other input, please post it. To me, this is a sensitive washingmachine. Probably because it is my first computer washing machine. but the pair cost me a cool three grand two years ago, and I am not sure that I spent my money wisely. Overall, I find their performance stellar. However, I have to be very, very careful and remember to maintain the monthly cleaning schedule or performance is hindered noticably. I average seven loads a week, to include one of only sheets, and two of only delicates, no heavy duty dirty stuff or heavy stuff. Again, any words of advice are welcome. Thanks.
Hello, i have the same problem with my washing machine. It's SEG W1047 D.1 (hopefully there somebody using the same product). 2 days ago, we're using the machine to wash baby stuff, but seems there a belt which twist another stuff, so the machine stop and blinking. Then we unload all the stuff and try to spin the machine using spin program to remove the rest of water that still there. But the machine only blinking and can not start. We have turn off the electric (try to reset the program) but still, it can not start the program we choose, instead of it, the light is blinking..
You posted this under a refrigerator heading but your talking about a washing machine. If you give some info on the washer I may be able to help you.
