washing machine is taking in water and washing fine but cuts off when rinsing is meant to start. will not take water out, will not drain, will not spin. just cuts of and ends cycle. there are two continuous bleeps which suggests blockage. every pipe has been cleared, any suggestions.

I have a Zanussi ZWF series front loading washing machine. It will not start. I have looked for the error and got the start/pause button and the end button flashing eight times. the first two flashes include the start/pause button with the end button flashing for the whole eight. When I switch it on there is power going to it and it makes normal ready noise for a motor.
