Miele Novotronic w980 washing machine - flashing fault light?

The 'rinses' light is flashing and the machine will not run a program other than to fill with water then drain. This is followed by the beeping alarm. Turning dial to off, switching on/off etc. doesn't seem to clear the fault.
I would appreciate any ideas for fixing this fault.

Oh dear!! Brought in the serviceman this morning. It looks like one of the boards is faulty. A very expensive fault...
