one light on each of the programing settings but when I try to alter a setting all lights on that button light up and a bleeper sounds, I think there may be a way of resetting the p.c.b. memory with a button pushing sequence, if you can help, thanks

That solution didn't work. Besides which I located 5 blue wires coming from the back of the program board all going to the same plug. I did as you said but it didn't do anything. When I switch on I have no lights on at all. When I hit the fabrics button it gives me all the usual stuff but the start button just beeps and flashes 3 times when I press it. If I hit temp or half load buttons, all the lights in the row light up. Help

I have had the problem for about a week now where the lights flash 3 times and nothing happens. I couldn't even reset the machine. I got frustrated, bought a new drainage pump which had no effect and then I decided to check the pcb as the signs were that the pcb was stuck in a programme and unable to change. Anyway, long story short, to fix it:
Take the lid off the washing machine (2 screws at the back) *unplug first
Locate the pcb, unscrew and lift above the washing machine with all wires in tact.
Locate the wires that are coming out of the back of the "program" board, it should be 2 blue wires.
Follow these back to the pcb and unplug
plug in washing machine
Turn on washing machine
Only the on/off light should come on
Whilst on, and being careful, plug back in the wires you unplugged
VOILA, fixed washing machine!!

Right, have to go, got a weeks worth of washing to do!!!!
