Hotpoint Aquarius 9L291 All Lights Flashing

Half way through a wash cycle (coloured cotton that usually takes just over an hour) I heard the sound of 2 clicks, which usually means that the cycle has finished.

All the lights were flashing, including the pause light. Conditioner was still in the drawer and the clothes were sitting in water.

I looked at the troubleshooting section in the manual, and it suggested turning off for 1 minute and back on again... still the same flashing lights.

O/H phoned the technical help and they suggested taking the bottom cover off, draining off the water and running his finger around what is presumably the filter area. No debris was found. We then had to leave the washer off for 20 minutes. After this all worked well until this morning, when I did the exact same washload (workwear) and the same has happened again.

We have an engineer coming out on Monday, but does anyone have any idea what's wrong? The washer is only 5 months old... hope it's not the pcb

You sure u got right model number

If it's only 5 months old you don't need to worry about anything (unless you infringed your guarantee).

More or less... AQ9L291/V perhaps...

I know it's still under guarantee, but it's a bit worrying that we have problems after only 5 months.

It seems to be ok at the moment. I've done 3 loads on different settings and they've been ok. Must just be that particular setting that there is an intermittent problem.
