My indesit wil 103 will not start. The LED lights are on but the start button will not turn on and three green lights are on. Can you help please?

I have the same problem on an Indesit wil103. My machine is only about 3 years old.

I tried all the suggestions of unplugging it and leaving it before starting it again after 3 hours. I also tried to reset the programme, using the on/off switch and the programme dial.

I have found other sites with several ideas for this machine.

I have left it for a week and then tried it and it started as normal today but shortly after the same flashing lights began again.

After spending a week reading lots of similar posts on the Internet I have resigned myself to buying a new one (not an Indesit, maybe a Bosch). Some posts say it is the pressure sensor some that the fault is the main control panel (mainboard?) which is £200 to replace!
