Fisher & Paykel GW907AU won't fill?

Hi, machine will not fill correctly, stops and starts on both hot and cold fills, and warm fill. Taps are on. Beeps until lid is lifted or power off.
Error code is lights --3-5-78. Anything simple, or call the repairman?

Thanks

Fisher & Paykel Household Appliances, Washing Machines Stops Hot Cold

Lincoln Appliance NZ, i cant thank you enough!
i found Steve's question above and the symptoms matched my GW509 model perfectly. I followed your instructions and had it fixed in under 10 mins.

Cheers from an ex-pat Kiwi in Queensland

Thanks heaps Lincoln NZ.

At least the weekend washing gets done. Temporary fix, will get a new switch - just a bit sticky. Wouldn't have gone looking up behind the control panel for it without your assistance.

Fault code 43 is out of balance switch fault. Usually due to corrosion making the switch button stick on. Switch is located inside the top panel under the right hand side of the control box. Have to lift the control box up to get at it. Replace it with a new one.
