    What do you mean clean led? Did you mean it flashes a code 7? I need the code it's giving to look up what the code means.

    Clean led means light emitting diode that acknowledges the dishes are clean. It flashes 7 times and the dishwasher won't start.

    So you mean after the dishes are finished and you try to run another load, the dishwasher will not start again?

    yes, excactly!

    Let's start by resetting the control board in the dishwasher.

    1) Press the "Off" button on the Whirlpool dishwasher. Nothing will appear to have happened since the lights on the control board will not be illuminated.

    2) Unplug the dishwasher's power cord from the AC outlet. This usually involves removing the two screws from the panel beneath the dishwasher with a Phillips screwdriver, removing the panel and reaching in to pull the plug.

    3) Let 10 to 15 minutes pass. Plug the dishwasher's power cord back into the AC outlet. Close the panel and reattach the screws.

    4) Select "High" or "Pots & Pans" from the control panel board. The actual setting will depend upon the make but is the highest setting you can choose for the washing cycle. Select one of the "Heat" cycles for drying the contents of the dishwasher.

    5) Let a minute pass. Repeat the procedure with selecting the two cycles. This resets the control panel board so that you will again be able to use the dishwasher.

    Check back and let me know if this solves the problem.
