Selected full wash cycle, turned machine on, first light(pre wash) came on as usual, nothing happened then after a while 2 nd light (Wash) came on and both lights started rapid flashing.

Lugged machine in garage, dis assembled drain pump, all clear, rigged up heath Robinson wiring and checked pump - works fine, removed high pressure pump, did same as above , works fine, all rubber pipes checked and clear, checked solenoid for water in - works fine, all tubes and pipes clear. Pressure switch in base which activates when water in system checked, works fine, there is a sensor/switch running off a tube between the high pressure pump and lower spinning water blade but I dont know what this does, think its a water sensor but can short this out if necessary as it cuts into the high speed pump feed. Any Ideas cos my hands are sore with washing up and I want my garage back!
