6 flashes is flow meter fault, reed switch on left side of appliance as you look at it from front.

might just need plug cleaned and squeezed a little if not new airbreak or if you can find the part number just the reed switch will be required.

Not sure what 6 flashes is but flow meter was always 7 in my experience 😕
Symptoms suggest it’ll be one of them carppy Askoll style circulation motors.

F6 is no water intake or machine not detecting any water coming in

F7 is flow meter faulty

both these faults come back to a faulty flow meter/wiring.
