F05: Pump Blocked or pressure switch empty not reached
- Check efficiency of J9 connector on card, verifying a voltage of 220V between pins 8 and 9
- Check that pump if being fed
- Check Pump Filter + wall drain
- Change Pump
- Replace Card
It means it's not draining correctly. You'll have to open it up to see if the drain hose is blocked, or just call a professionalF05 on an Indesit washing machine means "Pressure switch jammed on trip"
As is often the case, knowing the error code is one thing, but findng the cause is another because error codes often have several possible causes. The wording of the error code explanation suggests the pressure switch clicked on to register a water level, but when the water was drained away it remained on instead of turning off. I would guess there could be a blockage in the pressure system, or the pressure switch could be faulty. Also, if the water didn't drain properly it would cause the pressure switch to stay on too. Finally, the Indesit washing machines PCB's can give erroneous errors where the fault turns out to be with the pcb itself. This makes things very difficult if you don't have access to replacement PCB's to try.
Basically, I would keep an eye on the washing machine and try it again. If it reoccurrs then clearly it needs sorting, but if it doesn't it might have just been one of those things.
Get unit to spin and drain. See if any of those are a problem. Check if heating element has a circuit and if possibly an over temp cut out has occured. Normally if a code no. has come up, a certain condition has occured which should be rectified.
F05 means pressure switch jammed on full, firstly check that pump is working and that there is no blockage anywhere,
if it still does not work, then you are going to have to call an engineer.
Hope this helps.
