Splendide Washing Machine Flashing indicator lights

We have an Ariston Splendide washer in our MH which has performed great for the last 5 years. Today the washer completed the wash cycle and at the point it was to spin and drain, it stopped and all function indicator lights began to flash. Following the manual, I unplugged it, waited 1 minute and plugged it back in. The lights did not begin to flash again, but it also did not progress through any cycles. We shut it down and walked away for awhile. When we came back and started a small load, some water did come in to the basket, but then nothing. We waited several minutes, until something clearly should have happened, but nothing; no more action, though no other unusual lights came on. It seems kinda DOA.

According to the manual, I should now contact Technical Assistance Service.

Anyone have a similar problem? Any thoughts?

Thanks-

    I called tech support and he said that with all the function lights blinking, that indicates a new system board is needed. After paying $350, it'll be here tomorrow. I should be able to install it myself and at least save that cost. I'll update after I know whether that fixes it or not.

    Unplug or turn off the breaker to the wd for minimum of 30 minutes. The control board has memory. If it got interrupted mid cycle it'll get confused.

    The advice you have gotten will normally fix your issue. However there is one more thing to try. There is a clean out access at the bottom right of your unit. You can access it by removing the front lower panel. At the bottom right, unscrew the rubber seal and look for dirt, hair or any objects. Take your finger, reach in and make the small wheel spin. It should spin freely.
    You will need a small bucket or towel to catch about a quart of water that usually comes out. Also, if there is water in the tub, it will also drain out so you might need a regular size bucket.


    This is what I was thinking, the clean out is clogged. Other than that it MAY be a sensor (fill sensor)

    ours quit working and the knob would just keep going. Found this reset procedure: worth a shot:
    Wait a few minutes for the drain pump to empty the tub, turn the washer-dryer Power button OFF (out). Select one of the "Reset" positions on the knob, then switch the Power back ON. If the knob continues to turn, call for assistance.
