start the new cycle, it fills and keeps filling til half way up the door, then stops, pre-wash light flashes and nothing else happens, can use the spin but not rinses as this does the same. Then have to put on a spin programme to drain the water. Any suggestions thanks

I have exactly the same problem on my wma32
I've replaced the pressure switch and tube and it still does it
I've also removed the pressure shamber and tried the old bicycle inner tube test of dunking it in a bucket of water to see if I can see any bubbles - still no joy.

Try disconnecting the clear tube that runs from the pressure chamber under the drum to the switch above the drum - start the cycle and blow gentily down the tube the drum should start spining - if it doesn't then it's the switch ... if it does start spinning then you're in the same boat as me
