F-05 error code Hotpoint WT746 - Washing Machines

• 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.

f-05 usually relates to either the pump being blocked or the sump of this particular model being full of coins, color catchers etc.

first keep it simple, ensure outlet hose is not blocked or kinked....but if not follow these steps

• To sort this isolate from mains
• take off back inspection panel.
• tilt machine forward- get sum1 to hold it for u.
• The sump is the black hose attached to drum.
• place a basin under this and loosen jublie clamp using star head screw driver/ 8mm socket,
• pull sump downwards and remove any blockage.
• note the plastic ball is part of the sump assembley.
• refitt the sump again and tighten clamp, pull down firmly on sump to ensure fitted correctly

if there was nothing in the sump it is sumthing jamming the pump, hairgrip, nail, etc.

tilt machine forward as above with a basin ensuring isolated from mains power

• pump is attached to other end of sump hose, right side of machine as you look in the back.
• using flat screwdriver lift plastic tag up and slide pump assembley to the left releasing it from base of machine
• clip of plastic cover from top of pump
• remove wires from pump
• u should now be able to turn pump around so u can see 3 hex head screws
• remove screws taking note of the position of pump
• remove pump and clear blockage
• reverse steps to reassemble

if this does not sort it poss a new pump needed

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. By error F03 in Hotpoint washer we mean that the thermistor is open. This will not let the water to heat or in rear cases will boil the water to extreme temperatures. You’ll need to replace the thermistor to resolve this issue. The thermistor is located in the motor control unit. Also check the element if its open circuit, you’ll get a reading of 1.5-1.8K ohms on the multimeter, if not then element is bad. The element is also located in the motor control unit. You can check them by removing lower rear panel.


Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.


Thanks

It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

F 05 IS A PUMPING PROBLEM CHECK IF FILTER IS AT BOTTOM FRONT R H S.CLEAN OUT AFTER EMPTYING.IF NOT AT FRONT IT IS LOCATED AT BACK OF MACHINE IN PANEL AT BOTTOM . THE FILTER IS IN THE BLACK HOSE COMING FROM TUB. ++++ REMOVE PLUG BEFORE DOING ANY OF ABOVE +++++

Just had F-12 on my Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine. Problem was due to water not draining. Power off. My machine has access plate at bottom on the back. The water drain is held onto the drum via a jubilee clip and when i took it off the drain was clogged with hair, sweet wrappers, money, hair bobbles Once cleared, put back as was - machine now running ok..

hi, hotpoint wt746 trips electric a few seconds after closing the door

Try first unplugging the power cord for thirty minutes.
If the error does not clear then it is probably a faulty control panel.
When the fault is on a different part (eg. pump, sensor etc.) you get an error code.

You can find the replacement control/timer assembly here.

If you need to call repair service you can use the number printed at the end of the owner manual.
