My WF740 is also flashing F-05...unable to unlock door!!

check fuse or door interlock

make sure no water is in the drum then the door should open you can assist this by dropping drain hose to floor level over a bucket....

It could be a broken drum restraint spring, or a worn or broken. or loose shock absorber.
To check the springs, remove the top cover, and you will see the springs.
Another possibility is the concrete weight could be broken or loose.
You need to remove the lower rear panel of washer to check the shockers and concrete weight.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou.

The code means a water inlet problem.
Check the inlet hose/s for restriction or low pressure..
Check the filter in the end of the inlet valve as well.
There has also been cases of the water freezing in the pipes.
Hope this helps.

Try fitting new door handle, and or spring, failing that, then fit door lock.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

F05 - Pressure switch jammed on full

The pressure switch must be changed.

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.

Hi my Hotpoint WF740 keeps flashin H20. Does anyone know why please?

Hi.
F03 indicates that the wash thermistor is open or short circuit.
I think you need to call engineer to sort the problem
Please leave feedback.

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.

most hotpoint have a hidden filter
take back bottom panel off. you will see a large diameter hose coming from tub to pump. undo hose at tub end. filter is inside this hose. take it out and clean it
