Mend Hotpoint FDW20 Prewash Wash

HotpointFDW20 flashing 'prewash' and 'wash'?

My Hotpoint FDW20 has flashing warning lights of prewash and wash. Machine will not drain or move on with cycle. Please can you help?

try tilting the machine to a 45 degree angle. Often a switch blocks in the drainage part of the system, and this works to clear it. Turn the machine of on the machine, tilt it, then turn it on again. If they are still flashing, try again. My machine does the self same thing, and when it restarts, i run it through with the A wash which seems to clear the pipes out.
Best of luck
