You don't say if you are counting from left or right for the lights. I assume it is left hand light on & both right hand lights on (spin & 2nd rinse) If that is correct then there is a problem with the RPS (rotor position sensor) which is a small circuit board mounted on top of the copper stator part of the motor. Lay machine down on the front & remove the rotor which is shaped like a bowl by unscrewing the centre plastic nut. Loosen (do not remove completely) the 4 hex head bolts holding the stator & pull stator down. Look for any sign of water leaks which may of caused damage to RPS. Unplug harness wires from RPS & prise RPS up & off the stator. Fit new one in line with the notch cut out on the plastic part of the stator. Plug harness in then do up the 4 bolts. Replace rotor.
