My dishwasher is giving an F5 error. Please help me. I have detected a problem like this: While it is receiving water, it is draining the water from the other side, that is, from the hose. In this case, it is not receiving enough water.

The problem is that the dishwasher does not receive enough water while it is running. While the hose is receiving water, it discharges half of the water. This should not normally happen.

Your dishwasher's water inlet valve controls water flow into your dishwasher,its probably blocked & is usually located at the base of the inner left panel of an Unknown make, model,year, of a friken stupid dishwasher like I have .
If only I could tell someone what the definition of a F5 error code is...:confused:

While it is receiving water, it is draining the water from the other side,
Some dishwashers will run the motor after a certain amount of filling water is detected (via pressure switch or time delay) to begin internal circulation.
To drain they run the motor in reverse to pump out, so perhaps fault lies somewhere along those lines.

Without any schematic or model/make provided, rather difficult to assume anything really.
Need to narrow down between possible faulty motor capacitor, dodgy timer, same same relay or pressure switch, list goes on and on.
