The washing machine(Fisher and Paykel Frigidaire Smart Drive 051) reaches the Rinse cycle and then stops completely and after around 15 minutes just starts continually beeping. It wont let me advance stages and just doesn't seem to want to get rid of any of the water. How do i get it to finish the cycle?
Other details: the taps do not have access to hot water but we only use it on the cold water cycle; the outlet pipe leads into an old sink pipe.

If it doesn't get rid of the water first it will not advance. Probably a drain pump blockage. Can you hear a humming noise if so that is the drain pump trying to go. What is the error code showing when it beeps? Which lights are on & which are off along the top row counting from left to right.
