eco light sometimes indicates that water has got into the bottom panel of the machine. A float switch is underneath to protect the machine ( and your kitchen floor from being flooded. ( Either from overfilling or a leak) If you tilt the machine backwards see if any water runs out. If the machine restarts , then you will have sourced the problem. Should the flashing start again later, you may have a water leak underneath. Also check the lower door gasket to make sure its clean. If the gasket is dirty, sometimes water builds up behind the gasket and drips over the front of the tub into the bottom panel underneath causing this symptom. When cleaning the gasket, be very carefull!! The edges of the door at the bottom are razor sharp..
I have Kitchenaid model number (KUDE70FVSS2) and thought it was great (so quiet) until recently when I had to remove it for unrelated reason. That's when I noticed leaking (slow drip) when running. Laying on back (to prevent water going everywhere) isolated problem to the motor (diverter motor) and with a little internet research discovered that the factory had installed the washer (between the motor and the sump) upside down! Washer has deep groove which should face downward so that it covers part of the motor housing and seals completely. Well as result washer had been leaking (slowly) for a while, and on top of floor damage, motor connectors corroded into nothing. Motor actually seems fine and (be warned) replacing wouldn't fix the problem. Now trying to figure out how to reconnect wiring to motor without having to buy whole new wiring assembly. While motor replacement is fairly easy (two screws and two wire connectors), replacing entire wiring assembly involves door disassembly, lots of connectors and it's twice the price of the motor. Grrrr so mad at manufacturer now since this seems like intentional obsolesce.
the water will have leaked into the drip pan underneath, which is installed to protect your floors. Unfortunately, only way to get at it is to pull out dishwasher and remove 3 phillips screws that hold it on. In order to repair leaks, Electrolux came out with a "leak kit", which is part number 154769101. Comes with all parts that they had leak issues with

I may not have the full solution here, but to avoid (expensive) sub-floor damage, I recommend you do the following. Assuming that the water is not coming from some dripping between the opened door at the hinge....
-Remove the kick plate that is in the bottom, front of the dishwasher.
Use a flashlight to look for wet flooring. Run the dishwasher with the kick plate removed, watching for leaks/dripping. It is possible for a leak to seep under the floor. If leaking is found, do not ignore it. Pull the dishwasher, fix the leak or replace the dishwasher. Remove the first layer of sub-floor under the dishwasher, looking for deeper damage.
You should probably do the same with the carpeted area. Pull the carpet back and decide if the sub-floor needs to be replaced. A flooring expert should probably inspect.
Sorry to be such an alarmist, but I have been around floor damage that was unnoticed and ignored.
Sidewinder, sounds like it's leaking from the pump gasket or the water seal assy on the impeller. Check the locking ring to the pump housing and see if you can increse the pressure to the tub. Also check the tightness of the motor fan assy. to the impeller assy. tighten if necessary. Pump gasket part number is 912529. Impeller seal part number is 903494. Catriver..post back.
