The machine wasn't draining so we unplugged is and turned it on tis side to unclog the drain pipe. When we put it back upright and plugged it in, the lights come one and when we try to run a cycle, the timer shows but no water flows in and it shuts down after about 5 minutes. The timer continues to run but nothing else happens.
Not sure if this link will help you out but have a look.

The drain filter is clogged. I had the same problem. There is a filter inside the "drain boot" (black) that comes from the drum to the drain pump. Mine was completely clogged with money, lint, etc..

OK please find above a service and repair manual and a DIY washer self help site, with all this and the troubleshooting procedures in the manuals you should be able to isolate and repair.

Plug off the mains. You
have to look for screws below the front kick-panel, you can raise the
machine a
bit to gain access to the screws, the panel comes down & out. You
may find a
drain hose here, on left, drain off the excess water. The pump is on the
right
side. Be prepared for dirty water. Inside the big flexible tube (coming
from
the tub bottom) is the filter, be prepared to find all sorts of junk
here,
clean out. You can pass it into a large plastic bag. Examine your pump
also,
clean out the impeller. Carefully refit all. Your machine would be fine.
Don’t
wait for the machine to jam to look into your filter.
