Machine keeps stopping between cycles, turning power off wall for hour seems to reprogram and start machine to next cycle then stops again

We have recently moved house, After installing washing machine in its new position I decided to do a wash. After selecting required wash cycle and pressing the start button the machine filled to the requested level then did nothing, lights were still on ( but no one was at home ) so to speak. After a few truble shooting problems checking level of machine , lose connections etc, I have found machine will go through all cycles if I turn power off at supply ( not machine ) when it stops, leave for about a hour then turn on at power supply again it resumes to the next cycle and again stops until turning off power for about a hour again. It does everything, fills with water, washes, rinses,draines, and spins , but as mentioned you have to power off / on every hour between cycles. AAAAGGHHHH .
