I suspect that the logic board has developed a fault and probably needs replacing. 'Phone your Indesit Service Centre and get an engineer out. I believe a replacement board costs about £100 fitted, but a 12-month service plan paid monthly may be a bit cheaper, and will cover further breakdowns. Unfortunately, these boards are not the most robust or reliable examples of technology.
Turn off the power to the machine; preferably unplug it.
If you can open the door(?), bale out the drum by hand. I don't think there's a pump/filter access panel on this machine, so it's not easy to get the water out. You could try
disconnecting the discharge hose from the pipework, then lower the open end over a washing-up bowl so that the water drains from the drum by gravity. It depends how close to the floor you can get the open end. When enough water has drained, it should be possible to open the door to remove the laundry. Sorry, this may take a while.
Hope this has helped.
You can drain it from the front !!!
I found on page 12 of the User manual an instruction to remove the lower cover panel using a screwdriver. This will give access to the circular strainer body. Unscrew the plug SLOWLY -do not fully unscrew it, allowing the water to dribble into a shallow tray held close to the strainer body.
It will take a while, but that's better than a flood on your floor (unless it has a drain gulley!).
If you have lost your User Instructions, take a look on the "manualslib" website.

Could be heater. Try machine on rince cycle.Not pressure switch. If mahine works on rince then chances are heater. But this should not affect spin

It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.
For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...
FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.
PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.
If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.
Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.
If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.
Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question!!!!

My machine starts filling with water, then the power button and the two next to it start to flash, and the water starts to drain from the machine.

Hi First
make sure that nothing is blocking the drain pump assembly located inside the
bottom of the unit, after this test the lid switch assembly, you jump it to
test it. If the lid switch is also fine then the control board should be
replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance. Daniel
