Hi, these machines get corrosion in the door safety switch. I would start there.
A little cleaning of the contacts might get that machine going. How about a repair manual?
I have a few:

Take care
Some times the Tech sheet for the machine is located on the back side of the kick plate.
This sheet sometimes will give you the blinking error codes as long as someone has not removed it.
This is the first place a tech will look for help with your machine.
What is the make and model number?
Try unplugging the unit. Turn off the water supply and check the inlet hose. Check for strainers and ensure nothing is blocked. Some units have float switches in the bottom of the dishwaher. If you dishwasher has one, ensure it is free from any debris. Test to ensure it is capable of moving freely.
I'll look forward to hearing back from you. :-)
Press the start button continuously for 10 seconds and then release until the start indicator switches off. Select a different program and start again. If still flashing, press button for 10 seconds until that switches off the flashing. Then select another program and start again. This should reset any errors and allow for proper operation. :-)

Hi
When the washer does not finish cycle then it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:
It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.
It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.
