If this is a Whirlpool Duet, Kenmore Elite, or Maytag Epic series front loading washer, "F05" is an NTC Heat Sensor error. This is an indication that the heat
sensor is either defective, or the interconnecting wiring has come
loose. The following link explains:

If you need assistance in locating the sensor, please post back with a MODEL NUMBER. Its usually listed under the "Tub and Basket Parts"
listing.
NOTE:
For an explanation of all the error codes, each one of these appliances come with a technical data sheet inside. To
access, you will need to remove the lower toe panel under the door. The
access screws are located under the bottom front edge of the panel. You
may have to prop the two front fett of the washer up for better access
( a 2x4 works well for this). With the screws removed, the panel should
drop down, then come off. If the tech sheet isn't directly behind the
panel, it will be affixed to one of the interior cabinet walls. The
tech sheet lists all error code definitions, troubleshooting data,
diagnostics procedures and wiring diagrams. I mention the tech sheet
because you may need it to troubleshoot this error code.Read through the information provided and let me know if you have any further questions. I hope you find this information helpful.
Hi Loretta Garland, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? If it has a Briggs and Stratton or Kolher engine post the serial or date code and I can give you a general idea of the year.
