Whirlpool · Washing Machines
One or more of the washer's status indicator lights are blinking on and off in half-second intervals. This typically indicates a problem with a specific switch or its connection to the main control board.
Click steps to track your progress.
Unplug the washer from power to perform any checks safely.
If comfortable, access the main control area and visually check that all switch connectors are fully inserted.
A technician may be needed to inspect the wiring harness for continuity or check for shorts between the switch and main control.
The specific switch associated with the flashing LED may need to be replaced by a technician if other checks pass.
