A flashing sanitize indicator normally means the cycle did not reach the required temperature, which is usually an incoming water temperature problem rather than a heater failure. Checking the household water heater setting comes first.
Hard-water scaling reduces spray pressure over time. A dishwasher cleaner run and a filter clean restore most of it. If performance stays poor, the circulation pump and the spray arm bearings are inspected with the power off at the breaker.
