My Fisher and Paykel GW701 washing machine stops every 4 seconds ?

I have a Fisher and Paykel washing machine, model GW701. It starts filling then stops briefly and starts again, repeating every 4 seconds. It repeats this cycle a few times then stops completely. The 4th from the left 'wash progress' green light comes on and it beeps continously every second. All other lights are off. I tried just the cold water, then just the hot, but both acted the same. I put it on spin cycle to empty the water, which it did, but it seems when the water has been pumped out it goes into the 4 second cycle again, trying to empty, then stopping briefly, then trying to empty, etc. I don't think it startedto spin at all. I have turned the power off to the machine for extended periods but no improvement. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is the second light from the right.

Are you sure it is the 4th wash progress light? Sometimes the 1st one is hidden on some models. If you count from the right hand side which one is on?
