What Flashing lights: power failure means
On Frigidaire electronic dishwashers without a numeric display, the Hi-Temp Wash and Heat Dry lights flash to report a power failure. Some service sheets name the lights Hi-Temp Wash and No Heat Dry or Power Dry Off. It means the dishwasher lost power during a cycle or at start-up and the control wants you to start over. It is a message rather than a part failure, and it often follows an outage or a tripped breaker.
Common causes of Flashing lights: power failure
- A power outage or brief interruption
- A tripped breaker or loose connection to the dishwasher
- The control board if the message returns without an outage
1. Press Start/Cancel to stop the flashing. 2. Reselect your wash options and cycle. 3. Press Start to run the cycle again. 4. If the lights flash again without a power outage, call us. 5. If a breaker has tripped, reset it once and keep the dishwasher off if it trips again. Look at other kitchen outlets to see whether the whole circuit lost power.
- A flashing message with no outage points to an unstable power supply or control, and we test both.
- We check the connection at the dishwasher and the breaker before looking at the board.
- You will see the written price before any repair.

What do the flashing Hi-Temp Wash and Heat Dry lights mean?
They mean the dishwasher lost power. The control wants you to cancel and start the cycle again from the beginning. Nothing in the dishwasher itself is necessarily broken.
How do I clear it?
Press Start/Cancel to stop the flashing, then reselect the options and cycle. The dishwasher should run normally unless the power problem returns. Then press Start.
It happens without a power outage. Why?
The dishwasher's power connection, a breaker or the control itself may be the cause. We check these in that order and give you a written price first.
