The machine gets stuck in the middle of the cycle, full of water and just stops. I will not drain and spin on any cycle.

My washer rapid button is flashing and the drum isn't going round

I had the same problem and couldn't find the solution online, so I called a technician today. It turned out the problem was the belt: it had a crack in it. He said that the last time they had a look at it, they refitted the belt because it was loose, but they wouldn't have noticed the crack. He replaced it and it works fine now.

Try taking the top off the machine. Check all the wires - around the middle at the top there are two blue wires next to each other - my guess is that one of them will have worked themselves loose - reconnect.
Apparently this is a chronic problem with this model.

Good Luck
