Any washing machine experts? Why are buttons flashing?

blackcloud

I have a indesit 1200 widl126. However, I am having a problem and would like to ask you if you can tell my why it is doing this and how to fix or if not whats the most likely problem and what can be done to repair it?

heres the manual

Basically the two far left hand function buttons which I think are The delay timer and the easy iron and also the on/off door lock lights are flashing continuously very fast.

I have checked the pipes they are all fine and secure and also checked at the bottom front of the machine and theres nothing stuck in there. I have turned and unplugged it from the wall for a min and back on again.All the lights light up on the machine and then they all turn off, then U turn the machine back on only for those lights to be flashing again and the machine will not work when I press start. It does this whether the door is closed or open.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, normally if left a couple of days it works again. But sometimes not. Any advice appreciated

I did find this but not sure if its related to the washer,

We've got a hotpoint washing machine - in the past, the front display panel has flashed furiously and we had to get the 'main board' replaced.

It does it occasionally still .. i give it a whack and it stops!

When you say you've checked the bottom front, what is that ?
I've got a Hoover and last time i was having trouble i undid
some sort of filter pipe on the bottom which was blocked up.
I went onto YouTube looking at all the videos to try and see
if any looked like the same problem i was having.

I mean the pre-chamber I made sure there was nothing being blocked and unscrewed the cap, some water came out but nothing else was stuck.

There are a few Indesit videos on YouTube which talk about flashing lights

We had a similar problem with our Indesit which would be resolved with a hefty thump. Eventually however it just flashed continually and refused to work at all.
Got a replacement circuit board for it and it has worked perfectly ever since.

This kind of thing
