Whirlpool Quiet Partner I Dishwasher: Flashing Lights on Control Panel

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 08:06:30 -0700

Last night, I went to start my dishwasher. I pressed the Start button before noticing that I was on "Pots and Pans" instead of "Normal". I immediately pressed the "Cancel" button in order to change the cycle. I heard the drain cycle start and finish, then I saw the "Normal" button flashing. I could not select any other cycle, and got no reaction when pressing "Start". I pressed the "Cancel" button again, but it just started flashing as well as the "Normal" button. At this point, I flipped the circuit breaker off, counted to 10, and flipped it back on. This made the "Cancel" button stop flashing, but the "Normal" button kept flashing. I then checked the interior to make sure that the overfill cover moved freely, that the sprayers could all turn freely, and that the filters were clear. No change. I tried the reset procedures found elsewhere in this forum (alternately pressing "Heated Dry" and "Normal"; pressing any three buttons in sequence three times; and pressing and holding various buttons for three seconds each) with no success. The trouble shooting guide from Whirlpool does not address anything associated with flashing lights. I've left the door open and unlatched for 12 hours now with no change. Any suggestions that don't involve calling a repairman?

Whirlpool Quiet Partner I Dishwasher: Won't Drain While Running

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:06:12 -0700

For the Quiet Partner I, I have the problem that it keeps leaking water. I originally thought it was a bad seal.

After a few troubleshooting sessions I have realized it does not drain while in operation, the bottom fills up till it overflows.

If I push the drain button it will drain. Completely.

Whirlpool Quiet Partner I Dishwasher: All it does is continuously blinking blue lights

Sat, 31 May 2025 11:03:27 -0700

Can anyone help? I have a whirlpool gold dishwasher which I probably used about 3 times since I bought it about 10 years ago. I am trying to get it working again but all it does is continuously blinking blue lights, doesn’t matter which button I press. Right now it’s the normal and start. I’ve unplugged and plugged back in the power cord but not seems to work. Should I give up and trash it??
