Washing machine has gone foreign!!

My 92 yr old father has a hotpoint washer/dryer. As the title says, it has now started to use a foreigh language for some reason which as you can imagine is causing no end of problems. There is no button for choosing which language you want to use, how it has happened, I have no idea.

It appears to be an eastern European language.

Any of you lovely techie peeps have any suggestions to remedy this??

TIA Rosie X :(

    You could post the make and model of the machine so someone can look for a manual
  • Has it been turned off at the mains? Might be able to turn it off and on again and it might give the options then.
