Heating Element
The most frequent cause of the blinking Clean light is an open-loop condition in the heater assembly. If the element suffers a structural break in its resistive coil, it cannot generate the thermal energy required to reach the target setpoint during the initial wash phase, triggering a diagnostic fault. Replacing the element restores the circuit's ability to undergo Joule heating.

Thermistor/Turbidity Sensor
The thermistor monitors the thermodynamic state of the wash water and provides feedback to the Electronic Control Board. If the sensor's resistance-to-temperature curve shifts out of calibration, the control board perceives a lack of heating even if the element is functional. Replacing this sensor ensures accurate thermal reporting.
