Hotpoint Aqualtis stopping and lights flashing

[tinfish]

I was looking at this Aqualtis today (the new AQ113 model, forgot to write the full number down).
It works fine on some programs, but on others, like the Whites or Colours it runs for about 25 minutes then all 4 green lights on the program indicator (on the right) start flashing along with the red end light.

There is no pattern to it, they just repeatedly flash until you turn it off. The owner did remove a bra wire from the pump before she called me, but it is still doing it.

It fills, turns, drains and spins on the 30 mixed program. Rinse all works, it’s just the 2 main programs that are effected.

If anyone has any information to help it would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I’ll have to tell her to get the Hotpoint man to plug his laptop into it.

Thanks

Have they disturbed the drain after the bra was removed, might be stuck if the drain is to low works on some but not the main wash.

The machine is under the stairs in a very narrow extension, so no I didn’t check the heater, I was trying to get it to repeat the fault. It was something I considered, but it ran through other programs without stopping. I’ve since discovered it will run through these programs empty, but when full of washing it stops at 25 minutes. She emailed me a video and it’s the program lights and the on/off light flashing at 100mph.
Drain is fine, it’s into a standing pipe at the back that’s almost the height of the machine.

She got Hotpooint in, it needed a PCB, heater, NTC and something else she couldn’t remember. It’s only 18 months old.
