Why is the glass indicator flashing and my Amica ZWM436WD dishwasher not starting or working properly?
The dishwasher is likely in flood-protection mode because water has collected in the drip tray under the machine, not inside the tub [#17802474] Tilt the empty dishwasher heavily backwards or to the side as a test to let the water drain out; if it starts working again afterward, that confirms the issue [#16319108][#17802529] This is only a temporary fix, because the fault will return after a wash if there is still a leak [#17802759] If that happens, you need to find the leak and repair it, or call service if the unit is under warranty [#17802759][#16319108]

Take a small test - tilt the empty dishwasher heavily to the side. If the water comes from below, clean it and try running the program again. If it happens often, you will need to check where it is coming from
Yes, and after such a test, throw the dishwasher in the trash, pour the pump or electronics by accident. If everything was okay and you have a guarantee, call the service let them do it.
Hello I have a similar problem, but with the ZWM 636WD dishwasher - the theme author's model is probably twin (narrower). After pressing the switch the ECO program indicator lights up, in a moment it jumps on the glass itself, blinks, squeaks and pumps out water several times. The program cannot be changed, only the switch button responds. I disconnected from the network for a few minutes, I did a reset with a combination of buttons: switch + program selection + start and nothing.
So check the meter in your hand and check that the flood sensor is not damaged, whether the main solenoid valve has an open or missing contact. If the water draws, check the flow meter
The flood sensor was a good lead. I don't know where he is, but I did a little googling and the fastest thing I could do was to spill any water by tilting the dishwasher backwards. So I did, some water leaked and the dishwasher was working. Thank you
Writing a post about lack of water, of course, I was looking for it inside the dishwasher
What you did was, of course, an ad hoc act. If there is a leak, the fault will come back after one wash. Then you need to identify the location of the leak and remove it or call the service.
