What All LEDs flashing (no-display 'C' control) means
On the Electrolux EIDW6105G built-in dishwasher, which has the C control and no numeric display, an error is shown by flashing all the indicator lights at once. Because there is no number, the lights tell you only that a condition or a failure was detected, not which one. This is an older model that is still in many homes, and we repair it, and say plainly when a repair is not worth it.
Common causes of All LEDs flashing (no-display 'C' control)
- Wiring harness connection at the junction box
- Control board connections
- A door latch or sensor signal not arriving
- Power supply to the dishwasher
1. Cycle the power by switching the dishwasher's breaker off for a short while and back on. 2. Check that the door closes and latches fully. 3. Start a short cycle and see whether the lights stay steady. 4. If all lights flash again, write down what the dishwasher was doing and call us.
- The lights do not name the cause, so we check the junction box and control connections first, then test the door and sensor circuits.
- Cycling power clears a one-time event but does not repair a loose connection, so we look for one.
- We tell you the price in writing, and we say plainly if the repair is not worth it on an older unit.
Other Dishwasher codes
Why are all the lights flashing?
This control has no display, so flashing all the lights is how it reports that something was detected. A dishwasher with the C control has no numeric display, and the flashing lights are how it tells you that something is wrong.
Can I find out which error it is?
Not from the lights alone. We run tests at the visit to find the circuit involved. Because the lights do not show a number, we use tests on the control, the door and the sensors to find what the dishwasher detected.
Will turning power off fix it?
It may clear a one-time event. If the lights flash again, there is a lasting cause that we need to check. Cycling the power is the owner step, and if it does not hold, we check the junction box and the control connections ourselves.
