Intermittently, washing machine stops during cycle, with some water in drum, and prewash light flashing, along with wash light still lit. It had a new drum a few years ago, and is about 8 yrs old, but otherwise in in great condition.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks

this sounds like cold water supply not getting to the machine, test the supply from the house is working, is the machine buzzing slightly when it should be filling, if so the fault is the house supply to the washer, if the supply to the washer is fine, check the cold water solenoid for open circuit, thats about all it could be, if it worked fine before, if i have helped rate me please

there is a small access panel in all front loaders. there is probably a coin stuck in the compartment. this will stop the water pump operation correctly

it will be to do with the pressure switch it may be faulty, but more often than not there is a blockage in the pressure chamber which is located at the bottom of the outer drum, check the chamber and the tube that goes up to the pressure switch to see if they are blocked if they are clear of obstruction then test the pressure switch,to do this unclip the pressure switch from the side of the machine but dont take the wires off once off pull the tube off that goes down to the pressure chamber once off blow in to the nossle on the pressure switch, you should hear it click and then when you release it should click again, if it doet click twice then that is your problem, hope that helps.

The only time the lights kept flashing on my Hotpoint machine was when the outflow pipe going into the ubend was blocked,
Check for blockages, but make sure that you have a bucket or pan ready to collect the water flow.
I hope this helps
