How can I fix my Fisher Paykel GWL11 wahing machine?

I have a Fisher Paykel GWL11 washing machine that keeps beeping. It will not complete the cycle. It will start anywhere in the cycle I set it, run for a few minutes, shut down and start beeping. When it does so, typically the first wash light and second rinse light go on. I am not sure it is agitating properly, but it does agitate or spin depending where in the cycle I try to start it, briefly, before shutting down. I have unplugged it three times as per manual. The machine is only about four years old.

Thank you so much for your help. I have been trying to decide whether it is worth fixing. I hate to give up on a machine that is only five years old. There is no water dripping so I assume this is a relatively easy problem to fix.

x00000x0 = code 130 Rotor Position Sensor Error.
Each light numbered.
128-64-32-16-8-4-2-1
To determine code add numbers.
0000x00x = code 9 Machine size error.
#37 = Pump blocked error.
#39 = Pressure tube Fault.
#40 and 47 = Basket Disengage Fault.
#43 Out of balance Switch Fault.
#48,#49,#50 = Hot and/or cold water valve fault.
#51 and #52 = Diverter valve fault.
#130 and #131 = Rotor position sensor error.
#132 and #133 = High motor current.
#136 = Motor Stall.
That is all codes listed in service sheet in control housing on back top of machine. Take lid off, 2 phillips screws in back to get control housing off.

Thank you. The lights appear as follows:

When you say first wash light then that could mean the 1st on the left or 1st on the right of the wash lights. It makes a huge difference. Best way to do it is as follows. You have 8 lights on the top row. Put down o for off & x for on.i.e. xoooooxo. I will then look up the fault code for you.
