Indesit WIE147 H2O problem?

Machine about 18 months old, not heavily used.

As soon as I start any cycle H2O appears. (even spin cycle)

When a wash cycle starts you can hear water coming into the drum then after a half a minute the cycle stops, well the H2O cycle kicks in with the odd rotation every half minute.

When tried with empty load you can see watwer in drum so it does not appear to be a water connection problem.

Any ideas,

Cheers
