What the OPTION LED's Flashing error code actually means

All the option lights on your Electrolux dishwasher are flashing because the power was interrupted, which caused the dishwasher to forget what settings you had chosen. To fix it, press the START/CANCEL button, pick your wash cycle and options again, and press START. This is not a sign that something is broken with the dishwasher itself.

Questions people ask about OPTION LED's Flashing

What does OPTION LED's Flashing mean on a Electrolux dishwasher?
All option LEDs flashing on an Electrolux dishwasher indicates that a power failure or interruption has occurred and the control board has lost its previously selected settings. The dishwasher is prompting you to reselect your desired options and cycle. This is a status notification, not a component fault code. Pressing START/CANCEL, reselecting your cycle and options, and pressing START again will return the unit to normal operation.
Will resetting the Electrolux dishwasher clear the flashing option LED condition?
Yes, pressing the START/CANCEL pad effectively resets the control's current state and clears the flashing LED condition. You will then need to reselect your wash cycle and options before starting. If the LEDs begin flashing again immediately or frequently, investigate the power supply to the dishwasher rather than continuing to reset.
How much does it cost to repair an Electrolux dishwasher with flashing option LEDs?
In most cases, there is no repair cost at all since the fix is simply pressing START/CANCEL and reselecting your settings after a power interruption. If the recurring power loss is traced to a faulty outlet or wiring, an electrician visit could run anywhere from $75 to $200 or more depending on the work needed. In the unlikely event the control board is at fault and needs replacement, parts and labor costs typically range from $150 to $400 depending on your location and the service provider.
How do I fix the flashing option LEDs on my Electrolux dishwasher?
Press the START/CANCEL pad to acknowledge the condition, then reselect your desired wash options and cycle. Once you have made your selections, press START to begin the cycle. If the issue keeps recurring, check your home's circuit breaker and verify that the outlet powering the dishwasher is providing stable power.
Is it safe to use my Electrolux dishwasher when all the option LEDs are flashing?
The flashing LEDs indicate the control is waiting for input, not that the dishwasher has an unsafe condition. However, the unit will not run a wash cycle in this state. Once you press START/CANCEL and reselect your options, the dishwasher is safe to operate normally. If the power supply to the unit has been unstable, it is worth checking the outlet and wiring before running a cycle.
