Does it pump all the water out and then just do small agitations backwards and forward and never engage into the rinse or spin cycle and never come up with a fault code, if this sounds like your problem then can most probably help as I have to encountered the same problem before and now know how to fix this fault.

    Ok then to first verify what I think is wrong with it you are going to have to lean the machine back somehow so you can see underneath. Once youve done that you should see a large round plastic cap, is there signs of brown water stains on this part because it sounds to me like your machine has been leaking water through the main seal and the water has washed the grease out of your main bearings making them very tight. If you want to change the bearings yourself , I can give you step by step guide but it is not for the faint hearted as it requires basically dismantling the hole machine.

Fisher and Paykel front loader grinding noise

There could be a few possible reasons for the grinding noise in your Fisher and Paykel front loader washing machine. Here are a few things to check:
  1. Check the drum paddles: If the drum paddles are worn or broken, they can create a grinding noise during the wash cycle. Check to see if any of the paddles are loose or damaged.
  2. Check the drum bearings: The drum bearings are responsible for supporting the drum and allowing it to spin smoothly. If they are worn or damaged, they can cause a grinding noise. To check the bearings, try spinning the drum by hand. If it makes a grinding noise or feels rough, the bearings may need to be replaced.
  3. Check the drive belt: If the drive belt is loose or worn, it can cause a grinding noise. Check the belt for any signs of wear or damage, and make sure it is properly tensioned.
  4. Check the motor: A faulty motor can sometimes cause a grinding noise. If you suspect the motor is the problem, it's best to call a professional for assistance.
If none of these solutions fix the problem, it's best to call a professional to diagnose and repair the issue.

My Elba washing machine, when reaches the rinse cycle, water is very loud, never before, but it never stops adding water. Water is draining fine but water does not stop to cycle to rinse.

The water inlet solenoid valve is being held open. Take off the hose and look in the opening to see if you can find anything. Otherwise replace that solenoid valve.

How to clean drum wont let me choose cycle ?

If it is really loud and noisy when on spin it will almost certainly be worn or rusty bearings. Workshop job to dismantle and replace the parts.
