whirlpool quiet partner I dishwasher..clean button keeps flashing on status panel & dishwasher will not start?????

Reset it by pressing the keys HEATED DRY - NORMAL - HEATED DRY - then NORMAL again in sequence within 5 seconds. All the lights should come on and it will begin a diagnostic cycle. Either let it run, or press cancel and the board will be reset so you can try a wash again. If this fails please give us the model number located inside the door Also try this:

  1. Crack the door open.
  2. Within 3 seconds press the following sequence - Hi Temp Scrub, Energy Saver Dry, Hi Temp Scrub, Energy Saver Dry
  3. Close and latch the door
  4. Press the cancel button (the circle with the triangle in it) .

Hi @ shaun melton If there is power at the dishwasher, then there may be a problem with the door latch contact not making properly or faulty, preventing the dishwasher from starting. If there appears to be no power at the dishwasher it may be a problem with the high limit thermostat.
