Hi. I fixed my Nautilus when it had this same problem. Was a bit tricky getting off the inner front panel (you will have to remove two) but all up took about 30 - 40 minutes. Found that the flood was caused by accumulated gunge where the hose was attached to the sink pipe. When you get off the second panel unclip the earth lead and remove the foam insert (if there is one). There are multiple coloured electrical leads to the various parts of the motor etc. The leads to the flood switch are black and yellow. Follow them back and you will find the flood switch itself. Just jiggling it around was enough to reset it. hope this helps.

It means the flood switch has activated. Turn power off at wall first. Then remove lower panel under door. Flood switch is at the front near the centre of the door. Small polystyrene float lifts up if water present & operates switch. If water on the tray you need to find were leak came from. You could try drying off tray & run another cycle to see if water comes back. May of been a one off event.
