This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Beko WMA510W stopped mid-cycle with Ready and Prewash lights flashing

The problem
The washing machine stopped mid-cycle, remained half full of water, and the Ready and Prewash buttons were flashing. Turning it off at the wall and holding the start button did not clear the fault.
Likely cause
The accepted reply says a blocked drain pump or filter is the most likely cause, with the flashing lights indicating an error and the machine aborting the programme before it could drain.
What fixed it
Try to drain the water out and then check the pump and filter for blockages. The exact repair was not confirmed in the discussion.
Checks to try
  • Machine was half full of water when it stopped
  • Ready and Prewash buttons were flashing
  • Powering off at the wall did not resolve it
  • Holding the start button did not resolve it
  • Pump and filter were advised to be checked for blockages

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

If it's half full of water maybe the pump is blocked which has triggered the error. It could be something else but generally errors trigger an abort, and part of the abort sequence is to drain the water out before turning off. It's worth following this article to try and drain the water and then check the pump and filter for blockages http://www.whitegoodshelp.co.uk/washing-machine-wont-drain-water/
