Dishwasher - is it dead or can it be fixed?

Hi,
I have had a problem with my dishwasher for a couple of weeks.
Where sometimes the water comes into it and sometimes it seems to run with no water.

Then sometimes when it running with water in it, it drains fully and sometimes it doesn't.
Almost always it stops prior to finishing and I have to start it 3 to 4 times to get it running 'normally'

I don't think its expensive, should I just replace it? Its 5 years old.

I don't think its a water supply issue as it works fine sometimes, also drains well sometimes.

Oh also I have used the cleaner solution on it a few times and cleaned it by hand too, doesn't seem to make a difference and wasn't really dirty anyway.
Confused

Check it hasn’t been pushed too far back and linked the hoses- either the in or out- or both.
Linked hoses could cause these issues and cost nothing to unkink 😀

I had the same problem with my Zanussi - sometimes wouldn't drain or the cycle would run for hours and hours and not clean at all

From what I read on line it could be a blocked filter/hose but in the end I just bought a new one as it was 5 years + old anyway
