I have a toploader F&P Smart Drive. It will start to fill, cut out after a few seconds, then repeat 3 or 4 times until it eventually stops and just beeps. I switch it off and the process starts again. I can only get a cup full of water into it until it cuts out. Same thing happened when I put the machine into spin mode, it starts to pump out the water, stops a few seconds later, resumes, stops, resumes, stops and just beeps continuously. Any ideas?

It beeps to tell you there is an error. When it beeps look at the top row of 8 lights. Some will be on and some off, that is the error code. Count from left to right and tell us exactly which number lights are on and which are off. I can then tell you what is wrong.
