    Hi.
    I have a flashing light on a whirlpool side by side F/F water dispenser, does anybody know what this means as I have been told it should not be flashing.
    The ice is being made ok.
    the model is 8586 151 15010
    many thanks

    The filter light should be a steady light. It’s a tricolour led and shows green if it’s ok, amber when it’s nearing the end of it’s life and red when it should be changed.
    As to the flashing light, it wouldn’t be a green light with a key symbol to the left or right of it would it?
    If you could describe where the light is on the control panel it may help pinpoint the problem.

    This model will display error code in 7 segment display/s, not any flashing lights to indicate fault.

    If there’s a problem with one of the door switches giving a door open situation it will be indicated as a green flashing light on the front panel, it should also be accompanied by an alarm sounding.
    If it’s the numbers that are flashing then the temperature in the affected cabinet has risen above “safe” temperature.

    The flickering panel affects all the lights on show including the digital temperature readouts. The flickering varies between roughly a quarter to a half a second and is accompanied by a ticking noise.

    In that case you will need to change the rear pcb module and possibly the front display pcb.
