The heating element heats the water to the right temperature. If the water doesn't get hot enough after some time, a light on the panel may blink. To check if the heating element is burned out, use a multimeter to test if for continuity. If it does not have continuity, the element needs to be replaced.

The main control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. It's possible that the board has shorted and is causing the lights to flash or blink. Check the owner’s manual for possible fault codes as one of the components may have failed. If the control board is not sending power to one of the components, it's likely the main control board is at fault and will need to be replaced.
The control and display board lets you pick wash and dry settings on the dishwasher. If this board is bad, it could make the lights blink when they shouldn't. If the control panel buttons were working sometimes before the blinking started, the board is likely causing it. When buttons work off and on, the control board is probably the problem.
Check to see if the display comes on. If it works, try pushing the touchpad buttons. If some buttons don't work right, the whole touchpad and control panel may be bad. For some models, the touchpad can be replaced separately from the panel. For other models, you must replace the touchpad and panel together. Check if your touchpad comes separately or with the panel.

The drain pump has an impeller that pushes water out the drain hose. If the drain pump stops working, a light on the panel may blink. To check if the pump is bad, test the motor with a multimeter. Use the wiring diagram or tech sheet for guidance.
If the dishwasher lights are blinking or flashing, or a fault code shows on the display, you need more info. Check the wiring diagram, tech sheet, and user manual for the dishwasher model. These give details about different blinking light patterns or fault codes. They explain what part or issue each code means. Use the manual to look up any fault code on the display. Check which lights flash and their order. Find this blink pattern in the wiring diagram or tech sheet. This will tell you the dishwasher part that is likely causing the blinking. Use the manuals to understand error codes. They give you the info needed to fix blinking lights or faults.
