Indesit washing machine not spinning - fault code timer and dor lock light flashing

Error F05 on some Hotpoint washing machines means the pressure switch has "jammed" on, so the machine thinks it's full of water and refuses to spin. It may indeed be full of water - but not necessarily.
This error code is used on some Indesit washing machines too
Before a washing machine spins the laundry it needs a signal that the water has pumped away successfully so it knows that it's safe to spin. This error indicates that for various possible reasons it's not getting that signal.
This can be caused by a pump fault or blockage in the filter, but if this is the case then clearly when the fault occurs it should be stuck full of water or at least still have a fair amount inside.

There is a Light Flashing on my Indesit Washing Machine

Many of our newer Indesit Washing Machines have a series of indicator lights, which flash to indicate a possible fault on your installation or simply to let you know a problem occurred whilst you were away from your Indesit Washing Machine.

Pre wash light flashing
Indicates a failure of your Indesit Washing Machine to fill correctly. Check your fill hoses for a blockage, a leak, a kink or to make sure that they are turned on.

Wash light flashing
Indicates that your programme dial has been moved from its original position. Simply returning the wash dial to its original position will restore the light to its original status.

Spin light flashing
Indicates that the Indesit Washing Machine has considered the wash load to be excessively un-balanced. Open up the door of the Indesit Washing Machine, re-distribute the garments and retry the spin to resolve this.

End light flashing
Indicates that the Indesit Washing Machine has reached the end of a wash programme.

Wash, rinse and spin lights all lit at the same time would indicate a possible blockage in your under sink wastes system. Check out the additional informationin our 'My Indesit Washing Machine Will Not Empty'

If spin speed happening during what should be Wash speed then sounds like faulty speed control module/ could also be Tacho has fallen off end of motor;small round coil operated by a magnet which pulses a speed control circuit in the module/check also pump is okay and filter clean.Try resetting if you can,book will show you how to..Good luck

Could be the pump blocked or not working, check the pump for blockages or wiring faults. For Hotpoint, Creda and Indesit error codes that include flashing lights visit selfix-uk

Unplug the machine for a few minutes to reset the controller, then replug

If the machin isnt able to evac the water, it wont spin. It will indicate error with 2 flashing lights + lock led. Check pump, drain hose.

depends on what lights are flashing this is your fault code

When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem: Timer- If your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer. Water supply problem- If water doesn't enter the machine when you start the process- check water entrance pipe, myaybe it was bend (if you have there a tap - see it is open). Check that water entrance valve works (it is an electromagnet valve,loocated at the pipe's enterance to the machine). If it doesn't work, test that it get power. In case it doesn't get power, it seems that the problem is with the timer unit. In case it get power and dosen't work - You can easyly open the valve and clean it (from scale or other dirt). Be aware you should disconnect the power cable from machine before doing it !!!!! Check as well for valve's coil resistance. In case you have no resistance measurement - you should replace for a new valve.
