Next time the lights flash make a note of the ones and post - often machines have error codes and they can point towards a fault

I am not 100% about the lights flashing generally the vertical lights flashing denote an error code (but all of the lights flashing is not one)

With the machine going for hours that was likely an out of balance load - it can occur when too much is in the machine and knotted up or if single heavy items are in the machine like a bath mat or a towel, the machine knows that the drum is not evened out so it tries to tumble and stop start to level out the load - it can do this at varying speeds for over 100 attempts, eventually it would stop and have a sequence of lights (error code)

I would check all the connections are secure and not damaged and would possibly look at the control boards for possible damage - ensure before you do this you allow at least 5-10 mins of the appliance disconnected as the control board can hold a charge

C17 cap on pcb is faulty. Plenty of post on the sticky about it.
