Hi.
UNPLUG THE WASHING MACHINE!!
When you remove the lid trace the mains power cable comming in to the rear of the washing machine. Ensure that the cable hasn't come loose where it should connect to a large suppression capacitor. (a aluminium can)
If the fault is not obvious then check the can for black marks etc.
You will probably have to replace the suppression capacitor.
