Mine does the same, and the light flashes 8 times - any clues. I did clean the pump filter and found a 10 pence piece.

You need to count the flashes on the mains light. It flashes a sequence then pause for 10 secs then repeats. The No of flashes is your fault code. When you know your fault code you need to ask for help again.
