which indicates a plugged pump hose or pump.. the hose is OK.. would like instructions to check the pump..
this was right.. not where in the instructions did it even tell me what the access panel in front was even for.. I found it.. opened and un screwed the plug.. found some stuff in there and cleaned it out and wa la.. it was fixed.. interesting there is also a pull lever in there that I guess will open the front door if its locked and won't open.. thank you so much... this was right.. not where in the instructions did it even tell me what the access panel in front was even for..

the pump gears could be stripped or clogged with soap residue including the line from the pump to include the drain hose itself. I took the back of my machine off after cleaning the pump twice to find the reservoir full of a brown soap gunk/sludge. there is also a small rubber tube that runs from this reservoir back into the drum which was plugged shut with the same gunk. this thick soap residue can damage the pump motor or slow the drainage system to get the E 04 warning. I cleaned the gray drain hose out with the garden hose and was amazed at the sludge that game out. When the machine would run on the drain cycle we would also get a sewage smell that I thought was coming form the drain trap but turned out to be caused by the sludge in the pump. After cleaning the system and now using no more that a tablespoon of soap it works great & the cloths are clean.
Dear gavinrolason,
Error code F-04 and F-05
Check the the connection of the drainage hose to your sink wastage, as it may be blocked and the drainage of water
impeded
Hope it helps, this info is applicable to W840/W860 Hotpoint Machines
Suggestions: First see that the exit hose behind your machine is inserted at a particular height, ie about 3 feet above ground level, then into the standpipe in your wall. If things dont work plug off the wall, open up behind, you will see a thin pipe coming down from the pressure switch to the drain area. Disconnect this pipe carefully from the top and blow into it, it should be free. If blocked clear, if broken or damaged change. Refit carefully.
Error relates to water taking to long to get into machine. Check tap is open fully, water pressure is ok, hoses are not kinked. also check the small filters either end of the inlet hoses (inlet valves as well) as quite often they can clog up especialy on a new install.
Regards
