how can I fix my diplomat dishwasher?

How can I fix my diplomat dishwasher dont know what model but it has an eco wash on the select programme panel....it starts up okay appears to be washing but switches itself off and two flashing lights there appears to be no water in the washer after it stops although you can hear water running when it is operating. There are a couple of dark marks on the element could this be a safety cut out could the element be damaged ?
