Hotpoint aquarius fdl570

Hi, got a dishwasher that stopped working, blinking on/off, wash, end lights. Anyone had similar problems with this model?

    Check the user manual as a first port of call.  Very often a certain sequence of flashing lights are used to indicate what the error code is.  Just by way of example, here's a random webpage that Google threw up when I put that model number in: https://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/forums/forum/public-support-forums/help-and-support/dishwasher-help-forum/65452-hotpoint-fdl570-fault-all-lights-flashing
    Obviously I'm not saying that specific code will apply to your particular situation.  Start off with a look at the "troubleshooting" page of the instruction manual (or just Google it), odds on that will at least let you know what the problem is.  Might be something really simple like a blocked drain hose.  A lot of dishwashers have an "anti-flood sensor" - sounds scary, but actually is really easy to sort out yourself (I've had it a couple of times over the years on different models).
    But yep, check out what the particular sequence of lights means for your particular model and take it from there.
