My servis washing machine has started to overfill and not move on to the wash cycle, has anyone any idea what is wrong and what can be done to repair it?

Pressure switch chamber blocked - unplug machine from mains, pull out and tilt machine back, secure so it won't fall on you. Hose at bottom of machine from the drum that leads to a thin pipe that goes to the top of the machine that hose is more than likely to be filled with sludge. Remove hose, clean out and refit should cure the problem.
