Hotpoint FDM550 Dishwasher fills, but doesn’t run cycle

Hi,My dishwasher will start and fill with water, but won’t actually start the cycle. I have watched a video you did to service the machine. But cannot find a float by the filters. The lights it flashes are the rinse, salt, wash and end. Only light not flashing is dry.

I will try and help with your Hotpoint FDM550 Dishwasher problem

If the machine fill with water but doesn’t start the cycle, check the circulation pump and the heater as is either of them is faulty the program will not advance. To test te circulation pump, open the door and see if the machine is spraying water around. To check the heater you will have to do a continuity heck on it. I will link to videos to help you below after the diagram. See below the exploded diagram for location of these parts, circled in red for your convenience.
