• F05 - Pressure switch jammed on full
• Thing to do check pump is not blocked and clear it then reset machine by unplugging for 5 mins and plug back in if still gets error F 05 then you need a repair call out. hope this helps.

Hi, the fault codes point to a pressure switch issue. If you remove the top panel, three screws in the back, you will have access to the pressure switch. With the tub empty, remove the vinyl hose from the switch and blow backwards through the hose to clear any restrictions. If the fault codes return after diong this, you will likely need to replace the pressure switch.

Error code F05 means that the pressure switch is jammed on full.
Remove lower rear cover of washer.
Locate and remove large black fastened to bottom of drum.
Remove and clean plastic filter inside hose.
Remove hose onto pump, and check for blockage or obstruction here as well.
Hop[e this helps you.

f05 is normally a fault cause by the pressure switch - often caused by a blockage in the exit hose of the washer. if the water cannot leave the washer in time the f05 will come up because the pressure switch has not told the machine it empty. on hotpoints there is a filter inside the exit pipe from the drum to the pump which gets blocked up. need to remove and clear out the sump assembly and this normally fixes the f05 error. if this does not cure the issue then the pressure switch is probably faulty but its notmally just a blocked pipe.

this will be the motor brushes

The pressure switch is located in the top of the washer. To locate it, look for a small diameter plastic or rubber tube about 5mm in diameter.This is connected to the preesure switch.

Hi.
F05 means pressure jammed on full or pump not draining.If pump o/k, then you will neeed to call an engineer.

I have a ultima WMD940 won't drain and comes up code F05. Please can you help my washing is piling up

Exactly the same problem as everyone else. There's bound to be someone who can offer advice on what to do. The camera obviously recognises the fault as F05, but where can you reference the remedy to this F05 code? It's not in the manual as far as I can see
