MW512 filling in spurts then goes to error.

Hi. I have a fisher and paykel washing machine model mw512. It is filling in spurts stopping and starting every four seconds or so. After several spurts it goes to error with the 1st light on the left on and the second to far right light (between rinse and spin) on too with beeping every second.
?? Anyone know whats going on?

Previous answer is wrong. That error code has nothing to do with out of balance switch. The error code you give is code 130. which is saying it is getting a bad reading from the rotor position sensor. This is a small electronic device mounted on top of the copper stator of the motor. It sends signals back to the control board. It needs replacing but can be quite difficult to do if you have no experience. May pay to give the job to a service person.
