My Meile G 595 SC "water intake" flashing light?

My Meile G 595 SC starts a cycle, pumps out the old water then makes a pulsing sound for about a minute. Then the "water intake" light flashes and the machine stops. Any ideas????

The machine will stop if no water enters. The possibilities are:
i. the water connection is switched off. Dumb but it happens.
ii. the little filter at the connection point is blocked.
iii. the non-return valve at the connection point (the large rectangular bit on the end of the inlet hose) is not functioning. This hardly ever fails, but you can get a new hose assembly if it does.
I am selling my old machine on e-bay now if you want any spares.
