Any washing machine engineers?

Hoover AAA160 washing m/c switches on, welcome message appears on screen, 6kg load and Speed wash lights come on and then thats it. Wont do anything else! What's the diagnosis?

I was fine with our previous washing machine. Electro-mechanical easy to fault find and in best Locost tradition I kept the thing going by building a good one from two not so good ones. Then we got one of these wonderful computerised ones. I’m going to be sooooooooooo pi$$ed of if we cough up £89 + vat or whatever the Hoover call out charge is theses days (never yet called an engineer out to any domestic appliance in 22 years so Ive no idea) to have them perform some 2 min reset routine.

Thanks in advance

Is there a drain filter on this, posssibly blocked with hairgrip or similar?
A common fault generally is that the machine thinks it still has water in so doesnt start filling.
Any other clues?

Thanks for the responce.

Worked fine the last time it was used. It doesnt get as far as registering or initiating any of the programmes. Checked the drain/filter, no problems there.

I expect you want a washing machine repair man rather than an engineer. (sorry pet peev of mine)
