Mend Wahing Machine Washing

How can I fix my Fisher Paykel GWL11 wahing machine?

I have a Fisher Paykel GWL11 washing machine that keeps beeping. It will not complete the cycle. It will start anywhere in the cycle I set it, run for a few minutes, shut down and start beeping. When it does so, typically the first wash light and second rinse light go on. I am not sure it is agitating properly, but it does agitate or spin depending where in the cycle I try to start it, briefly, before shutting down. I have unplugged it three times as per manual. The machine is only about four years old.

Thank you so much for your help. I have been trying to decide whether it is worth fixing. I hate to give up on a machine that is only five years old. There is no water dripping so I assume this is a relatively easy problem to fix.

x00000x0 = code 130 Rotor Position Sensor Error.
Each light numbered.
128-64-32-16-8-4-2-1
To determine code add numbers.
0000x00x = code 9 Machine size error.
#37 = Pump blocked error.
#39 = Pressure tube Fault.
#40 and 47 = Basket Disengage Fault.
#43 Out of balance Switch Fault.
#48,#49,#50 = Hot and/or cold water valve fault.
#51 and #52 = Diverter valve fault.
#130 and #131 = Rotor position sensor error.
#132 and #133 = High motor current.
#136 = Motor Stall.
That is all codes listed in service sheet in control housing on back top of machine. Take lid off, 2 phillips screws in back to get control housing off.

When you say first wash light then that could mean the 1st on the left or 1st on the right of the wash lights. It makes a huge difference. Best way to do it is as follows. You have 8 lights on the top row. Put down o for off & x for on.i.e. xoooooxo. I will then look up the fault code for you.
