The Bosch model number is WFK2801.
Perhaps 2-3 times during a wash programme.
The machine will stop, the lights flash and there is a continuous beeping sound (like an alarm).
If you press start, the programme continues.
Machine is over 16 years old.

Fairly Recently Perhaps 2-3 times during a wash programme.

On the LED display which normally shows how long is left of the programme. I’m fairly sure I saw 01 displayed which I believe is a fault code.
The instruction booklet states that 01 means door locked and then suggests possible cause/remedy which is either tap has not been turned on. Open water valve and press start or filters in water inlet are blocked (see care and cleaning section)
If you press start, the programme resumes and does eventually complete.
The water valve is always turned on, we have never turned it off so it cannot be that.
Can low water pressure cause the problem? The machine is in a utility room with a sink. In the last week the water pressure seems to be lower than normal. For example it takes 34 seconds to fill a 2 pint jug with water.
If we need to buy a new washing machine. What recommendation is there for a decent Bosch? Budget would be about £700-£800. We would run about 3-4 washes a week. In addition some hand wash items are run in spin once a day 7 days a week
