Zanussi Zwd1480W Runs For A Few Minutes Then Dies,no Lights Or Display

[emlynj]

I got the washing machine a few days ago from a friend, she said it works great, no problems. Got it home, did 3 washes, fine. Then did a 60 min wash, started it, walked off, came into kitchen 20 mins later and it was still saying 60 mins with start button flashing. Started again and watched, after about 3 mins into cycle, the machine turned off, no lights or display, after about 10 mins it came on again at start. I've tried it on every cycle, it does the same thing.

Once it goes off, the only way to get it to come on again, is to unplug from wall, wait a minute, then plug back in.

I've checked filter at bottom, its clear, taken off the back, visually checked all the wires i cant see for any rodent damage or burnt wires.

Any help would be great, thank you.
