The number of LED flashes is an error code. Mine is sat there, dial spinning flashing 5 times !
The error codes are:
Error codes from http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Home-and-Garden/Question369941.html
F01 Short Circuit-Motor Triac
F02 Motor jammed or tachogenerator detached
F03 Temp probe o/c or s/c
F04 Pressure switch jammed on reset
F05 Pressure switch jammed on trip
F06 Programme selector management error
F07 Heater relay stuck
F08 Heater relay cannott be activated
F09 Incompatable eeprom
F10 Pressure switch not sensing correctly
F11 Pump cannot be be activated.
F12 LCD Display module and main module not communicating correctly.
I am not sure that the error codes that accurately reflect the problem with the machine 'though as my pressure switch seems to be fine. It maybe that with your problem the relay on the PCB is stuck as searching on line that seems to be a common problem. Try replacing the relay or the whole PCB ?
