That means the flood guard has been set off and there is water in the base of your machine,First TURN THE MACHINE OFF AND UNPLUG,then turn the water off and take the hose off of the back of the machine,put some towels down and tip the machine backwards water will come out of the base keep tilted till the base is empty,make sure everything is dry,ie plug,floor anywhere there is water clear it up because when you put it all back together and test it you need to know weather it is leaking,if it is leaking after you have done that stop using and call a engineer.
