What Blinking: Auto + Express 60 / Auto, Normal + Express 60 / Normal + Delicate / Normal + Quick+ means

On Samsung dishwashers without a digital display, a button error shows up as a pair or trio of cycle lights flashing, and the exact lights depend on the model. The combinations Auto with Express 60, Auto and Normal with Express 60, Normal with Delicate, or Normal with Quick+ all mean the same thing: a button reads as stuck. Digital-display models show the same condition as bE. The dishwasher may ignore the keys until the stuck one releases.

Common causes of Blinking: Auto + Express 60 / Auto, Normal + Express 60 / Normal + Delicate / Normal + Quick+

Moisture or grime on the control panel
An object pressing on the keys
A key that reads pressed after you let go

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the dishwasher off. 2. Wipe the control panel dry and clear anything resting on it. 3. Turn it back on and press each key once. 4. Start a short cycle. 5. If the same lights blink again, call us.

! Why to stop there

If the lights return on a clean, dry panel, one key is reading wrongly.
We find which key is responsible before suggesting any part.
The estimate is in writing before work, and the repair is warranted for 30 days.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Blinking: Auto + Express 60 / Auto, Normal + Express 60 / Normal + Delicate / Normal + Quick+Blinking: Auto + Express 60 / Auto, Normal + Express 60 / Normal + Delicate / Normal + Quick+ questions

Why do different lights blink on different models?

Samsung labels the cycles differently from one model to the next, so the combination varies. What matters is that a pair of lights flashing together points to a stuck key.

Can a damp cloth cause it?

Yes, moisture on the panel can look like a held key. Dry it thoroughly and restart before assuming a repair is needed. Pressing each key once after drying often releases a sticky one.

Is it a safety issue?

No, but the dishwasher may not respond to the keys properly. Have it checked if the lights keep returning. The cycle may not start, so try each key after drying the panel.
