Kenmore Dishwasher Clean light blinks 7 times Error Code

A light pattern instead of a code

Seven blinks of the Clean light on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite 665 dishwashers signal a heater circuit failure. These models flash lights instead of printing a code on a display.

How the control reached that conclusion

1. Mid-cycle, the heating element is switched on to warm the water.
2. The control then watches for the water temperature to go up.
3. No rise registers, so the heater circuit gets flagged.

What gets examined

The manual’s checks cover the heating element plus the wiring and control board in that circuit, and they are technician work. Parts it says may be required:

• the heating element
• the electronic control board
• the thermistor
• the circuit wiring

Other signals to compare

• The console light blinking rapidly flags a jammed panel key.
• C7 belongs to other models and concerns the water temperature sensor.
