You can override the programe to force the machine to drain and then continue with standard programs. To do this, press and hold the start button for 5 seconds, release, press the prog button to change to another programe, close the door. If this does not work try a call to CDA customer care on 01949-862012 with the model and serial number, they offer quite a long garantee on parts with a service call costing around £80. Good Luck!
