Hotpoint Washer wont empty?

Weve got the same problem.

I think it is an aoutomatic safety cut - out which kicks in when the outflow pipe is blocked or the pump is faulty.

Ive tried to unblock the outflow pipe and quite a bit of black gunge came out so I thought Great --but no luck it still goes through the wash cycle until it tries to empty and then all the lights flash. It may well be the pump is broken.
