F 05 normally means there is a blockage or a fault with the pressure sensor. The common place for blockage is in the black pipe from the drum to the pump as it has a filter in here and clogs up. remove the pipe and clean the filter out and remove gunk from the pressure sensor on the side of the pipe as well. If that does not fix things the pressure switch could be faulty itself
Error f05 is a problem with the pressure system usually caused by a blockage. These are most commonly found in the pipe which is attached to the bottom of the drum.
Take off the access plate at the back of your machine and you can see it is secured by a large jubilee type clip.
Please be aware that there will be water in this pipe.
Hope this helps & thankyou for using Fixya.
An F-05 error message means that the pressure switch is jammed on empty or a problem with pump.
The fault is associated with drain out (pump blocked or restricted in some way).
Small
panel at rear of machine reveals the pump, pull of the two pipes
(Plastic clips hard to get off, slide them sideways), remove wire and
unclip pump from base of machine by lifting locking tab and sliding to
the left, pump can then easily be cleaned.
This problem used to happen to me with an older washer. It also had a buzzer as well as a flashing light.
I discovered it was the "off-balance" warning.
Next time, try shifting the clothes around so that all the weight isn't on one side of the washer drum
