I have a similar fault on the same model. Mine has power but wont let me set its function and nor has it drained after its last wash.
Studying the manual it says that if you have a flashing indicator light on top then this signifies a fault. The paragraph from the maual reads as follows:
'Error Messages,
The dishwasher is equipped with a safety system that is able to detect operating problems and malfunctions. These malfunctions are signalled by the rapid blinking of one of the "D" program LEDs. Only in the case where indicator light blinks rapidly should you cancel this cycle as described in the section entitles, "Changing a cycle when underway". Then check to make sure that there is water in the mains and that the tap is turned on. If the message continues, call for a technical assistance, including which message appeared.
If any other indicator lights blink begins rapidly, turn off the appliance and call for technical assistance, indicating which light began to blink.'
Like I said I dont have a blinking indicator light to signify a fault so I have had the thing apart and have found nothing wrong :-(.
Good Luck, I hope this helps.
