Hotpoint WF541 (door lock, Wash & on lights flashing!) H

[ktails]

Can anyone help. I've just moved into a new house that has a washing machine already here. A Hotpoint Aquarius WF541.

I've just gone to use it for the first time, it took in water for about a minute or two....it then stopped, and three lights started flashing. It hasn't done a thing since & the washing is stuck inside!

The three lights that are flashing are the "Door Locked" light, the "Wash" light and the "On/Off" light.

I've tried switching it off, unplugging it and trying again but the light illuminate & then start flashing again.

Please can anyone help!???

does it have a drain cycle you can set it to so that you can drain the machine and at least unlock the door/get your washing out?

it won't let me do anything....if I put it on the drain cycle, it just makes a random whirring noise and almost all the lights starts flashing. But no draining and no washing

I take it that you have no printed instruction manual, and that you can't find one anywhere on the internet despite searching?

I've got the printed instruction manual, but is says nothing anywhere in it about that combination of buttons flashing.
It only gives light combinations for things like 'door not shut/shutting properly' or 'machine failed to take in water' or 'blocked filters'......none of which are the problem.

I'm at a bit of a loss really after searching the internet for answers.
I wonder if the circuit board or something has gone cuckoo seeing as it hasn't been used for a few weeks!?
