as you can read in these site that is a grate problem with the model allso the company tech is talking about to chage the machine insted repair so all I can say is that you have problem with the computer board of the machine,

Clogged drain pump.
Check the drain pump filter. Use a flashligth and you will se if the impeller is stuck on something. If not check the hose from the drum to the drainpump housing. May be clogged.
If not, replace drainpump

Could well be worn motor brushes if no action from the drum>Common fault on machines over 4....5 years old...Parts cost around £18....Fitting quite simple...Good luck

Check the power outlet, the plug and the cable or with the appropriate tester see if you have mains power where the power cable connects to the machine wiring.

possibly mains lead you need to check there power coming out from mains filter the other end of lead-if not you can purchase a lead complete

call in hotpoint

F05 machine means "Pressure switch jammed"

Try first cutting power to the machine for two minutes, if that reset the code, then the problem was temporary.

If not :

Check if the machine drained, or if water is not being drained.

If drain system works .take off the the lid , locate the switch, it must have a small hose attached.
Remove the rubber hose attached to it, and unlock it by blowing into the hose.

If the water does not drain, this will also cause the pressure switch error.
In this case check the drain hose , and the drain pump.

Finally, ta faulty timer control board can cause the error, you test the control PCB if lid switch and drain system are OK.

the h2o message means the machine isn't getting enough water. check pressure and water intake pipe.
