LG Intellowasher fault

[bigengines]

I have a Lg Intellowasher DD 7.5kg wm12220fd, the problem is that there was an error fault relating to a blocked drain hose, i removed various hoses and cleaned them out, i then carefully put the machine on its side to gain access to the pump and related pipe work, i removed a pipe and found a five pence piece blocking the pipe, this pipe goes to a sensor which i believe tells the circuit board of a blockage, anyway i cleared the blockage refitted all the pipes and the soap draw which i also stripped down and cleaned, i then started the machine but now i have a new fault, the water level keeps rising until another error code appears (FE) faulty water valve, now before the blocked pipe the machine was running fine with no fault codes but i am wondering if i have caused this new fault by laying the machine over on its side, can anyone give me some advice on possible causes or do i take it as coincidence and get a new water valve to try ? all the water pipes were reconnected in the correct place as i have rechecked them, i have even had it on its side again to check for anything broken or loose but everything looks ok,if i do need new parts can anyone direct me to the best place to get them for this machine.
many thanks Bigengines.

Air hose to pressure switch blocked/holed/kinked/disconnected or yes, may have water in would be my bet.

Power off, please.
