If your Dishwasher is stuck in a cycle check the followingFloat SwitchThe float switch may be hung up and this can cause the dishwasher to be stuck in a cycle. Timer / ControlIf your dishwasher gets stuck in a cycle first try shutting off the breaker for at least 5 minutes if this does not correct the problem you will need to replace timer/electronic control boardGod bless you use the VOM..
Based on your description, "clean light flashes " this is actually an error code as you may or may not know associated with the heating process. What typically happens is poor water circulation preventing the water from heating properly. To resolve this, I'd start with the following...the wash pump area. You`ll need to follow these steps to clean it.
1 ) Remove the turbo wash tube if applicable to your model, it pulls off, i.e.
2 ) Spray arm removal. hold the center nut and spin the arm. 3 ) Now you can remove the upper spray arm supply tub or referred to sometimes as "rear feed cap". a ) lift to depress the rear tab, i.e. b ) Then twist the feeder to the right ( clockwise ), i.e. 4 ) Now you can remove the center nut...
Then remove the four # 20 torx head screws holding the filter in place, and lift the filter out.
Below the filter you`ll find food debris, undissolved detergent etc, but also a cover with a single #10 torx head screw to remove and the cover will pull straight up and out. the arrows from left to right in the image indicate... 1) screw location 2) tab to pull up on 3) the latch you may need to twist to the left to remove the cover i.e. Now you should see the chopper and screen assembly, it too can be clogged up pretty bad, clean it best you can...you don`t really want to remove this part.
If my explanation is not clear enough, here`s a link which provides a pretty good video of how to do this, these guys aren`t pro`s but the "how to" video is pretty thorough nonetheless.
Once these actions have been performed you'll need to clear the error code. to do so is as follows. Press the following buttons in this sequence... HEATED DRY - NORMAL, HEATED DRY - NORMAL, HEATED DRY - NORMAL This diagnostic cycle may take approx. 15-20 minutes to complete. Let it proceed through to completion and you should be good to go...unless the heater itself is at fault or a wire has vibrated loose from the heater...those are steps to follow if OR when necessary. Let me know how you make out, please keep me informed if you need further assistance or anything is unclear. Please take a moment to rate me assistance and a short testimony is appreciated as well.
Everyone
expects their dishwasher will work correctly. They can become
nonchalant about it until one day it does not function. Sometimes the
dishwasher doesn't drain as expected. Most people immediately call the
plumber when their dishwasher doesn't work. There are several things
you can try at home before having to pay an expensive service fee.
Instructions below.
Basic Tools,Rags
Check
the basics. Make sure that the dishwasher has actually finish the
cycle. Your dishwasher will not drain until the end of the cycle. Many
things may have interrupted the cycle. Check circuit breaker and reset
it if appropriate. Also check the fuse. It is possible that you could
have tripped a circuit have way through the cycle. Make sure the door
is properly closed. Ensure you have chosen a cycle on the dishwasher.
It is amazing the problems children could accidentally cause, that are
easy fixes.
Remove
any excess food at the bottom of the dishwasher. The best way to do
this is with your hands. Large food particles can block from going into
the drain.This is also another extremely easy fix to make your
dishwasher to drain.
Check
to ensure that the hoses are still attached. Use your manual to find
where the hoses are. If they are not attached the owner's manual will
give you instructions on how the attach the hoses to your specific
dishwasher.
Attempt
to declog the line. Disconnect the hose from under your sink and check
to see if there are any clogs. Use a hanger or towels, remove the clog
from the hose.
Remove
the dishwasher basket. Again refer to your owner's manual for specific
instructions.Normally you will remove it with a screwdriver. Make sure
to work slowly. As you take the basket apart, you will be able to see
if it needs to be cleaned. If there is dirt or debris, you can clean
the parts with a rag or paper towel. After cleaning these parts, you
can replace the basket.
Call

little more complex to fix. It is advisable to call plumber to make

It sounds like it could be caused by the fact that the heating element has failed so that the washer will not proceed with the wash program until the water is up to the correct temperature. You should be able to tell if the element is getting hot. You could try manually putting in hot water before the washer fills up with cold to see if the wash then proceeds.
using tape measure measure your item of here is dimensions. you can buy a DW that is 24 inches wide, very easy to do. It is a standard size DW

Try a mainboard Reset. Pull the mains plug before bed tonight. Tomorrow, press and hold the on button for 30 seconds, then let go and plug it back in.

My plan was to see if I could find you a service manual, but strangely, the only reference to that model number is your post here! My guess is the D6 is 'D for Dishwasher' and 'Series 6' or 6 models in that current series.
If the machine has been laid up or little used, check all the connection on the control board. Clean pins and plugs with electrical switch cleaner
