Fisher & Paykel washing machine Smark drive9 excellence?

My machine has stopped working. Alternate lights are on in order of light Off, light Off, green on, light Off, green on, light off, orange on, red on. Ther is a constant beep, beep, beep etc. If I turn it off then on again to start new wash it delivers short bursts of water then stops and sends alarm with alternate lights again. This happend a few weeks ago also, I left the machine off for a while then decided to unscrew the hoses at back then re-scew in and it started to work again. Tried to do this again this time but no such luck as yet.

his is fault code 43 which is the out of balance switch has a problem. Usually caused by corrosion getting in to the switch & it sticks in the on position. It is a microswitch on the right hand side of top panel. Turn power off at wall. Open top panel. Remove one screw holding main control box down. Gently lift control box up & locate switch which will have two wires usually a yellow & a white. Remove wires & then the switch. Fit new switch & re attach the two wires either way around. Close panel & power on.
