Hotpoint aquaris wml 560, 1) all lights flashing nothing working, turned power off and on and it started to work ok. 2) all lights flashing (start light orange not green) no programs working, tried on and off still nothing. tried holding on/off button in with start button nothing. lights not flashing now just the set progam light and door locked light on but nothing happening.

Possible that the inlet valve is not working or the ccontrol unit is faulty.
Please switch off and when switched on check for the voltage to the inlet valve, if water flows, if not the control panel is faulty.
If voltage is present and valve does not work then the valve is faulty.
Also check the DOOR switch( a safety switch) because if the switch is not working the control panel will not allow the control panel to proceed to switch on motor.
Also check and tighten all the connectors to the control panel.

Hate to tell you this, but the board must be replaced. Once the lights start flashing it is an indication that the program is corrupt. If you dont have anyone who can reprogram the micom, then install a new board. Quote the model and serial no. to the supplier to get the correct board.
