How can I fix my Indesit WIDL126, which has three flashing led's?

I had 3 green LED's flashing on the buttons and the red main led flashing rapidly. There was also a leak and burning! Took rear panel off after draining drum and turning off and unlplugging the power, and found the small clear plastic tank on the top left as you are looking at back had sprung a leak under the lower nut - looks like the fibre washer had stopped working. As a result the water had dripped onto the control printed curcuit board (bottom left) and had shorted the terminals causing a small electrical fire! Rather dangerous - lucky I didn't tread in the puddle as the trip switch hadn't gone off in the house. I'm looking at replacing the wiring & connector plus the circuit board, plus the main cause - the fibre washer. Also I will add an accessory of my own, a plastic cover to stop this dangerous design oversight from killing me if there is a next time!

I have the same problem with the exact same machine as this lady. Has anyone got any ideas at all what it could be.

Explain what happens.
You switch the machine on and the light comes on as it would to start washing....then it changes to the door lock light flashing continuously in red, and another 2 led lights next to it flashing continuously both in green...
Then it starts to put water through u here a clunk and it stops again.
All lights still flashing but u can now open the door.
If you leave it for awhile the power cuts off and if u switch it on by the on - off button or the mains it comes on and does exactly the same thing.

Can someone please please help as i can't afford a new washer or repairs so if its something simple and i can fix it i would give it a go. Plus i have a 3 year old that needs his pjs washing....
