For what reason does error f05 appear and what does it mean?

If your Indesit washing machine does not drain the water, an error may appear on its screen, the code of which is f05.It indicates a malfunction in the drain system.

What can break down, break down? There are two options:

• drain pump - the most likely failure;
• water level sensor - it's the same pressure switch.

During the fault of the water sensor, the following actions occur, the pump pumps water out of the tank, the draining process is completed, and the pressostat does not give a signal about everything that is happening in the machine, namely the absence of water. As a result of all this, the program freezes, and the error code of the washing machine Indesite f05 appears on the display.

Important! In some cases, during such an error, the Indesit drainage hose is severely clogged, the branch pipe or the sewage branch, respectively - their cleaning removes the problem.

How to eliminate and where to look for a malfunction in the drain system?

The first thing to do when the display shows error f05 is to eliminate all possible clogs in the entire drain path. To check the entire drain filter:

1. At the bottom of your Indesit washing machine, find a small door or panel and open it.
2. It will be followed by a cover, which you must gently turn counter-clockwise, and then pull it out by pulling it toward you.

Important! Do not forget that before you unscrew, you must put a large rag in which the waste water draining from the tank is absorbed.

1. Inspect the filter and rinse thoroughly with tap water.

If it turned out to be relatively clean and you could not detect blockages, go to the cleaning of the entire drain hose that goes from the machine to the sewage port. To do this, you must do the following:

1. Prepare a bucket to drain the waste water.
2. Loosen the clamp that holds the drain hose on your branch sewer.
3. Lower the hose into the bucket to drain any remaining water.
4. Remove the drain filter.
5. Remove the bolt that holds the pump on the housing.
6. Now put the Indesit machine on its side.
7. Remove the pump from the bottom.
8. Loosen the hose clamp.
9. Remove the hose from the machine housing.
10. Rinse the hose.
11. Assemble the machine by following the instructions, but in the reverse order.

You can immediately check the gaps inside the drain:

1. Disconnect it from the pump, tank.
2. Rinse it underwater, then replace it.

In the event that the drain system has been found without special blockages, do not rush to assemble the machine, and immediately inspect the pump. It, too, disassemble and clean, and maybe replace with a new one.

Important! After you have checked the drainage system and the pump, you need to start the machine in test mode, in order to check the troubleshooting.

Pressostat in the washing machine Indesit

If error f05 has appeared again, then you must find the water level sensor. In the Indesit washing machine, the pressostat is located under the lid of the washing machine - this lid is easily removed, you only need to unscrew the two bolts on the rear of the casing. On the surface of the side wall you can see a round detail, from the base of which there are several wires, as well as one small hose.

Do not rush to change it immediately to a new one - first check the pressostat for how it works. The thing is that the wire contacts or the hose, through which pressure is supplied to the pressure switch, may have been damaged from the tank. Check all the details, as well as the pressure switch itself, assemble the machine and run it in test mode.

Electronic module in the washing machine Indesit

If even then the problem still remains, which is extremely rare, the cause of the error is found in the electronic module of your washing machine Indesit. With a similar task, it's difficult to cope on your own - it's best to ask the master for help.
