Not originally, it was blocked with almonds! Now it is clear and turns freely.

Update:
Ok, so having earlier removed the inlet solenoid valve and the impeller jug i then worked out that I could remove the labyrinth.
I descaled the Labyrinth as best I could in a large plastic tub using an acid patio cleaner, a jet wash and the wire from a coat hanger.
I failed to find a way of testing the impeller jug electrically but I was able to confirm that the impeller turned by blowing through it gently. The first time I did this I may have freed it up… I dont know. Another time I would start by holding it with the impeller axel horizontal and simply rotating the plastic housing around the axle. With light shining from behind it should be possible to see the impeller move – if it is free to do so.
Anyway, just to minimise the chance of any limescale being present, I blocked the inlet the jug and poured white vinegar into the outlet and then left it for an hour. Emptied vinegar and repeated this.

After careful re-assembly of the machine, connected hoses, selected pre-rinse and powered up. The Check water light initially came on but quickly went out. The machine then completed the pre-rinse perfectly.
I followed this test with a quick programme. Working perfectly.
Fingers crossed it will continue this way.

Hope these notes help someone else.

The Check Water light was steady and not flashing. It was sometimes reset by a power off sometimes not.
I have also see all three indicators flash on reapplying power. Not sure is that is normal or not.
