hotpoint WF430 1300 spin - lights flash when start to wash?

When i switch my washing machine on to wash it takes in water then the some of the lights at the side start flashing and it empties the water out. If you cancel it and start again it will wash all day without going on to the rinse and spin part of the programme. You then have to manually stop it, put it on to drain out...stop it again then manually put it on to rinse/spin. Any ideas???? It now driving me mad!!!!!!!!
