Whirlpool ADP4501/5 Start light blinking 4 times

[Tobesmac]

Hi
My machine has deleveloped this fault in the last day or so.
The inlet is fine/ water tap is on, and ive checked and cleaned the internal filter.
When you start the machine it tries to pump out but you can hear that nothings happening, then the greeen start light blinks 4 times in sequence and the machine stops. Ive tried holding the button in for 3 seconds and changing the wash cycle but this doesnt work either.
When I checked the water inlet hose for any blockages I notioced some water under the machine with white ” Goo” in it, what should I do to try and fix the problem myself, any hints and tips appreciated
Cheers

Drain not detected in time allowed. If water is left in the machine, you have some sort of blockage. If no water is left in machine, it may well be that the water level switch is choked with fat. This is the black grid in the bottom of the sump on the right.

You can try cleaning it with very hot water and a toothbrush, failing that it will have to be removed. It’s a twist fit from underneath.

Power off and beware of sharp edges.
