Lights are flashing or blinking on the Samsung Dishwasher

Some dishwashers do not have a digital display, so that’s why they won’t be able to show an error code. Instead, these models start to blink their lights whenever an error occurred. To understand the issue of these lights, we should check how many times the light has blinked. By the way, the lights also blink in everyday routine. But we have to see the blinking error when the Dishwasher is not working correctly, like it keeps stopping while running the cycle. There are some things to keep in mind to fix these errors, like the water temperature should be according to Dishwasher, and the drain should be connected to the sink.
