tip it backwards and expect water to come out of the base.sounds like there is water in the base and the antiflood switch is putting power on to the drain pump to stop it flooding you out.once the water has been removed from the base try it again and see if it works.if fault happens again you have a leak and will need to remove the base to see whats going on
