ariston washing machine lights flash rapidly?

The door light and other lights flash rapidly - instruction booklet says "call engineer". This happened previously and an engineer fixed it somehow in 2 seconds (for £40) according to my mother. No screwdriver involved. He said she had "pressed some wrong buttons". Now it's happened again - how do we fix it?
