How can I get to the float sensor?

The Normal, Heavy and Quick lights are one. The dishwasher starts then turns off, does not completely drain, and these lights are on and the dishwasher stops???

SOURCE: Kitchenaid Dishwasher Control Panel lights - some don't light up

about the only thing to try would be to remove the inner door panel to get to the control bd then you will see a mylar ribbon looks like a fat piece of scotch tape pull up on the plastic connector that holds it in and pull the ribbon out then get a clean pencil eraser and gently clean the ribbon and put it back in dont forget to push the locking tab back down then try it again and let me know

SOURCE: kenmore dishwasher has stopped draining.

remove the kick panel below the door, place a pan, etc under where the drain hose connects to the drain extension tube, and slide the clamp back some so you can slide the hose off of the extension tube (white plastic tube) and drain any excess fluid into the aforementioned pan, etc., then unscrew the extension tube and check for plugs, or restrictions.
the sump may also be pluged beneath the strainer assembly, and that requires removing the lower spray arm, the water tube that runs up the inside back of the unit, and the upper parts of the assembly below them to access the drain/pump sump area.
last but not least the impeller is jamed and might be able to be freed by removing whatever has lodged within there..
ya never know...
best of luck,
ttfn

SOURCE: GE diswasher GSD4020Z02BB doesn't completely drain

This is exactly what happened to me and I paid the repair man. Learn from me. Open dishwasher, unscrew screen along back of dishwasher. Piston assembly should be right there. Part is WD24X10018. GE will charge you $17 plus labor. Can buy it on-line for around $12. Takes about two minutes to fix.

Samsung dishwasher stuck in drain cycle eaven with door open and normal and heavy lights blinking

If your dishwasher is stuck in the drain cycle and the lights are flashing, it may be due to a faulty drain pump. You should check the drain pump and hose for any blockages or clogs. If these parts are clear, then the next step is to check the wiring between the dishwasher and the drain pump. If there is a loose wire or a broken connection, then this could be causing the issue. If the wiring seems fine, then the issue may be with the control board or the drain pump itself. If this is the case, then you will need to replace either of these parts to get your dishwasher back to working order.

I have a Samsung dishwasher model #DW7933LRABB that starts to run normal then I get 3 flashing lights Normal, Heavy and Smart then does not complete the cycle

The Normal, Heavy and Smart lights will blink when there is low water level in the dishwasher. Check that the sump area isn't blocked from filling with water. Often there is a float inside the tub that can be held down by a utensil that fell under the lower basket. Remove any foreign objects. Then try to run the dishwasher when it is completely empty. The parts diagram for the dishwasher is available here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/60yajq87a8-001482/samsung-dw7933lrabb-aa-01-dishwasher-parts . If there isn't an obvious blockage in the water level monitors, you could have a wiring problem or an issue with the control board that doesn't get the signal for water reaching the desired level. (Note: if the incoming water pressure were too low, only the Smart light would flash.)

The manual for the DW7933LRABB is available from Sears Parts Direct on the product page: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/manual/60yajq87a8-001482/samsung-dw7933lrabb-aa-01-dishwasher . The current link to the manual is https://c.searspartsdirect.com/mmh/pd_download/lis_pdf/OWNM/1206228L.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Samsung dishwasher starts and after while stops with three lights cycles on (heavy , normal and quick)

I think that light combination means "Drain error". Most comonnly caused by something hard getting down into the drain pump, blocking or partially blocking the drain pump impeller or the check valve inside the drain hose right next to the drain pump.

Low water level

Try to unstick the float. The float tells the DW how much water is in it at any given time. It is shaped like a mushroom on the bottom of the DW basin. Gently pick it up and set it back down. Does it seem free? Try the cycle again.

please make this test and fix it. Merry Christmas
Float Switch

The float switch may be hung up and this can cause the dishwasher to be stuck in a cycle.

Timer / Control

If 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 the timer/electronic control.

Over-level water error

The sensor is on the outside of the unit on the left side. slide the unit out of its location, taking care not to pull apart the fresh water hose, drain hose or electrical wiring, the sensor is on the left side, a small clearish plastic box with a rubber hose connected to the bottom, it's probably filled with crud which blocks the plastic float from moving up and down, the float covers and uncovers 2 small electric eyes, carefully remove the box and clean the crud out with an old toothbrush and it should work find, did for mine, good luck
ps, try not to soak the 2 small electrical pc boards on the sensor, if they do get wet, dry them well before reinstalling

When I switch on my dishwasher setting it at normal wash cycle it appears to start as normal then after few seconds goes onto to Eco 45 c wash - the light flashes but nothing happens i.e. no water comes...

you may want to check and clear the pump
you have something slowing your drain
but for giggles make sure your float valve is free to go up and down like it should
all dishwashers attempt to drain first
so you have a conflict between the float position and the pump sensor
