I have cleaned out the pump via bottom filter, but still no joy. As soon as i switch on at mains, all lights flashing, and i cannot get it to do anything. Anyone shed any light?

Hi. I had the same problem. I would press on button and all lights were flashing. I first removed the kick panel and unscrewed the filter.I cleaned it although it looked ok. Some water came out and bits and pices from the wash. Cleaned it from inside and replaced filter. I then undid the cold water hose at the rear and made sure the pressure was ok. I then replaced this properly back in (be sure to turn the hose valve to the off position BEFORE unscrewing from the machine). After this i pressed on. Initially it still seemed the same. However, i put some clothes into the drum and powder in the compartment. I pressed cancel for a while and then the power button also. I then turned machine off from the mains. Waited a few seconds and switched back on. Hey presto! Seems to be fine yet..lets hope it stays that way.
