Check motor brushes for wear. Brush length is about 30mm new; 10mm or less is too short to do what they're meant to.

According to the instruction book - it appears the machine has been stopped mid cycle then re-started.
Switch machine off, turn control knob to a solid circle symbol (they are after every set cycle). Switch machine back on and lights will flash and program is reset. You can then select wash cycle as normal.

Temperature control or speed control for spin

Remove drum drive belt, and spin drum by hand, if there is any resistance,. or it feels rough or noisy, the the main bearigs have probably failed.
If it is o/k then check motor for worn or noisy bearings,
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

turn the wash temperature dial to zero,
if it starts to wash it could be a faulty thermostat,
if that wont wont work it could need new brushes in the motor
