    Hi this dishwasher
    https://www.manualslib.com/manual/421245/Whirlpool-Adp-451-Ix.html?page=17#manual

    Turns on see first pic but then starts making beep sounds and the bottom light keeps blinking see next pic . And checking inside it seems no water has circulated.

    What could be the problem ?

    Will be thankful for advise if this is a fixable problem or should change the dishwasher?

    Many thanks.

    Check that the drain hose isn't blocked and also check the inlet pipe is clear and not kinked.

    Your problem is one of the most common problems in W/P dishwashers namely a worn circulation wash pump but you may be lucky if it is only something like a bone that has made its way into it. The pump needs to be taken out and checked for blockage and if none for wear on the shaft. If you are very lucky it may be a broken wire on the loom at the bottom of the door edge as they become brittle and break as they get older which is common enough in most dishwashers

    I had to replace the circulation pump in my dishwasher a few years ago, it was pumping at a very low flow rate due to the cheap design (Ashol type), the replacement had proper armature coils.
