Zanussi Electrolux Progress 1200?

I put a load on last night and after a couple of minutes the machine starting beeping and an error message E10 was displayed.
I knocked the machine off and pressed start again and after another few minutes the same thing happened.

I am afraid to knock it on again incase it goes on fire or something. Tried calling an engineer to come look at it but they are not avaible until next week.
In the mean time I have lots of washing to do and also a white wash stuck in the machine which is wet but not washed
