Hoover AAA140 Error Number 7?

My Hoover AAA140 Whisper washing machine has stopped working and is displaying "Error Number 7". Any ideas what this means ?

Any advice on how to fix this, is it something someone with a limited amount of technical/mechanical knowledge could do or will I have to call out an engineer ? Hoover have quoted £89 + VAT for someone to come out and take a look, which is more than the 2nd hand cost of it the machine.
I'm trying to decide whether its best to buy a new one or worth trying to have it repaired.
