The dishwasher fills with water. Near the end of the fill the drain pump begins to drain and the fill stops shortly after. Then the unit continues to drain until empty. Then the unit tries to wash the dishes but there is no water.
We have a Candy CDI2012/E-02 32900347 1330 3315 dishwasher from around 2013 that once stopped working about 3 years ago. A constant beeping signaled the problem after trying to initiate the washing cycle. Not remembering the details, replacing the controller card (~€50 ebay) fixed the problem at that time.
Now we had a problem again, similar to the one above. Once any of the programs was started, the dishwasher would first drain any remaining water (if detected any), then fill for a few seconds, then start draining/refilling again for about 3 times in a row until the controller detected there was something wrong. Again, everything stopped with a constant beeping. Replacing the controller card did not help this time.
There were actually two independent problems: We noticed that the inlet water hose was kinked. Thus, only little water would enter. Straightening the hose did not solve the problem, though.
We then thought it may be the flow meter. But it is extremely simple in this machine, turned nicely and did not seem to be the culprit.
However, we noticed some deposits in the water reservoir that also connects to the inside of the dishwasher. These calcareous deposits apparently clogged one of the channels. This may have induced some pressure difference, which the controller apparently interpreted as some water level problem. Unmounting the water reservoir with the built-in impeller, dissolving the clogging with toilet descaling agent solved the problem: the dishwasher is working again.
Actually, no electronic parts had to be replaced.
This is caused by the " the flood" circuit at the bottom of the dishwasher that detects some water leak. Once this circuit detects any water on the bottom of the washer, it immediately switches the pump out circuit on. It consists of a polystyrene float coupled to a micro switch. You need to dry the bottom and then check for leaks (hose or hose clamp).

SInce the drain hose is not plugged or kinked, the next step if to remove the filter that is beneath the lower rack done in the sump area. Remove approximately 10 phillips screws.
Inspect for debris in the mesh filter and underneath it, especially the drain outlet.
Reassemble and retest with a quick cycle.
If problems persist, suspect a failing pump motor. Schedule professional repair is recommended.

Because you are not getting an error message, I agree that the controller card is malfunctioning. Almost everthing else would triger an error.
Recommend replacing the controller card.
SOURCE: the washer was working good then stopped washing
the top spray arms would be clogged for the top rack not to be cleaning but now it sounds like the main pcb/computer has sizzled and needs to be replaced
SOURCE: washer doesn't drain after wash
Pull the plug to reset the control board and see if that resolves the issue. Good luck.
SOURCE: my lg dishwasher does not
E1 means a leak has been detected . Check hose connections .Or drain hose height.1E would be water pressure issue.See service manual
