Smartdrive 708 wont spin or fill it tries but it keeps stopping and starting every few seconds. after a few tries it beeps on and off all the time and 4 lights are lit from right to left red spin. amber next to it next one off next one on green next one off next one on green help thanks

I have a Fisher and Paykel 7.5 kg Smart Drive 708 (about 9 years old). A week ago it developed a fault that once I select wash, it senses (i.e., rotor moves) and start filling the water. After a minute or so the machine stops, start beeping (and the water temperature setting changes to cold - hot) and control panel selections blink. Then if a reset by pushing the pause button, the machines start again as normal and start filling the water but stops again in minutes or so (same episode as before). I can select rinse or spin and it will do the function normally but it does not complete the whole cycle automatically as it use to do before. (The wash cycle when the rotor spins for several minutes to wash the clothes seems not happening.



Please advise do I need to resent the control (if yes how) or if I need to do something substantial. If so is it worth getting this machine repaired or should I go for a new one.
