If the child lock is blinking on your KitchenAid dishwasher, it typically indicates that the Child Lock feature is activated but there might be an error or it's in the process of being engaged or disengaged. To resolve this, try pressing and holding the designated Child Lock button (often a labeled button or a specific button combination, check your manual) for 3-5 seconds until the light turns off. If this doesn't work, unplugging the dishwasher for a minute and plugging it back in can reset the system and often resolve the blinking issue.
