just fixed this problem, first pop the bottom panel off the front of the machine and drain the water by unscrewing the drainage cap, when water is fully drained remove the cap and check to see what is stuck in the pump chamber (a piece of my sons T-shirt) and remove it, replace the cap and run a quick wash and make sure that the water drains.
