3rd light blinks and beep?

My F&P QW051-U W/M - hot and cold works intermittently, then stops and 3rd light from left flashes and beep. All other lights off. Recently changed both hot and cold solenoid. What can the problem be ?

Firstly the model number does not match. The 051 was an MW051 not QW. That makes it a phase 2 model. However the fault code you see (3rd light) is an error code for a phase 1 machine & refers to a drain pump problem. Should have no bearing on the fill valves filling slowly unless the water is draining out while it is filling. If it is not draining then I can only suggest that the controller may be faulty but it would be wise to call someone out to check for any other possible reasons first.
