it needs service, so call for it.
lots can be wrong even partially clogged drain paths.
the washers have float valve to detect how much water is in the pan to drain, so clean or replace this valve.

clean,. these parts
The Heller DWH3 appears to be a Dishwasher, so I moved category from Laundry Washing Machines.
The Heller appears to be a little known make here in North America, and the only similar name 'Hella' I know makes car spotlights. If it shares codes with Haier, it is this, the Flood Protection Device and is very common. There is a tray and sensor in the base.
E6: All four lights flashing
Haier dishwasher E6 error code indicates that the flood protection device has been activated and the water supply will need to be turned off, stopping any more water from flowing into the dishwasher and leaking out.
THAT IS NOT NORMAL!!!!!!! A normal wash and dry cycle will take approx. 2 hours in length including drying cycle.
You should see that water has been present in the machine within the first 2 minutes of the start of the wash cycle, you should also be able to hear the water entering the wash tub.
The fill valve or water supply seems to be the issue, if the water doesn't enter the tub then the controller won't proceed witht the wash cycle. Double check your water supply tube / hose to make sure there is water present at the connection to the dishwasher.
GOOD LUCK !
This may sound strange but that is a normal cycle time for today's dishwashers. They use much less water and the water is 'recycled' within the filtration system in the pump.
By reusing and filtering this water they save on heating energy and water consumption. The motors are not as powerful so they use less power even when running longer. Many machines will alternate the wash between the upper and lower arms, this type uses much less water and energy but again the trade off is long cycle times.
If you were to select a heavy or pots and pan cycle with hi temperature wash and a sani rinse your times can be up to 4 hours in some machines today.
The reason behind these savings are mostly due to the energy standards that the appliance manufactures have to abide by today.
I know this may not have been what you wanted to hear but it is how they work today.
Remove the two 1/4 nuts that hold the kickplate at the bottom of the dishwasher, and ensure that the wash motor hasn't come unplugged. Normally, if the motor is faulty, you'll still hear a humming, so it's possible that it's just unplugged
can you tell me if you can hear the motor running? if not
did you trip the house breaker? if not
can you open the door? if not
it's the door latch; if yes
is there water on the bottom of the dishwasher? if yes
you are not draining and the dishwasher lost power; if not
the timer is not advancing to the next cycle
hello kiwi
check the water level in machine this may be low due to pressure switch not sensing correct level try blowing back through air tube to clear any water from tube then try again
quick way is to start machine and when in wash mode check water and position of arms then add a litre or so of water in mid wash then recheck wash arms if they are now moving then you have water level problem
