I dont have an instruction book for my washer and need to know what error message E1 is. All the lights are flashing and I cant open the door. there is water inside which may be causing the door to not open. Turning it off and then on again doesnt help, it just runs a programme and then the same message and effects occur again

E1 : Machine has exceeded a check time for fill, heat or empty.

Common causes for this are fill and empty problems, heater fault or wiring
to it broken, Pump open circuit (although that would stop the water draining too) Pressure chamber blocked or pressure tubing pipe looped below the pressure bottle or a sticking eco ball in the sump hose (sludge and grease build up
Hope this helps
