Error code F05 on the Indezit washing machine

error F05 on the Indesit washing machineIndesit washing machines with a display on the control panel, have built-in error codes that report any breakdown or malfunction. One of these codes is the code f05, which can appear both for a serious reason and because of poor care of the machine. We will figure out how to fix such a malfunction.

Why does an error appear, what does it mean?

If the Indesit washing machine stops draining water, then error f05 may appear on the screen. This means a malfunction in the drain system. What could fail? There are two options:

  • drain pump (most likely breakdown);
  • water level sensor (pressure switch).

If the water sensor malfunctions, the following occurs, the pump pumps out water from the tank, the drain process is completed, but the pressure switch does not generate a signal that there is no water in the machine. As a result, the program freezes and an error appears on the display.

In some cases, with a similar error, the drainage hose of the Indesit machine, branch pipe or sewer branch blockage occurs, the cleaning of which will fix the problem.

Where to look and how to troubleshoot?

The first thing we do when the error f05 appears is to eliminate all kinds of blockages throughout the drain path. To check the drain filter, we find a small door or panel at the bottom of the Indesit washing machine and open it. Behind it you will see a cover that you need to carefully turn counterclockwise and pull it out by pulling it towards you. Before unscrewing, be sure to place a large rag that absorbs the remaining waste water from the tank.

The filter must be inspected and rinsed well with tap water. If it turned out to be relatively clean and no blockages were found, we proceed to cleaning the drain hose going from the machine to the sewer branch. To do this, you need:

  1. prepare a bucket for waste water;
  2. loosen the clamp holding the drain hose on the drain;

    Important! Check sewer for blockages. Perhaps the water simply cannot get through the blockage.

  3. lower the hose into a bucket to drain the remaining water;
  4. pull out the drain filter;
  5. we unscrew the bolt that holds the pump on the body;

  6. Now the Indesit machine needs to be put on its side;
  7. from the bottom we get a pump;

  8. weaken a collar on a hose;
  9. we get a hose from the case;
  10. flush the hose;
  11. collect the machine in the reverse order.

Immediately you can check the blockages in the drain pipe by disconnecting it from the pump and tank. We rinse it under water and set it in place. If the drainage system is also without special blockages, then do not rush to collect the machine, but immediately inspect the pump. It also needs to be disassembled and cleaned, and possibly replaced with a new one. Detailed instructions for this work are described in the article on how to clean the drain pump.

After checking the drainage system and the pump, it is necessary to start the machine in test mode, to check the troubleshooting. If error F 05 appears again, then you need to look for a water level sensor. The pressure switch in the Indesit washing machine is located under the top cover of the washing machine, it is easy to remove, you just need to unscrew the two screws on the back of the case. On the side wall you will see a round part, from which there are two wires and one small hose.pressure switch in the car Indesit

Do not rush to immediately change it to a new one, you must first check pressure switch on performance. The fact is that the contacts of the wires or the hose through which pressure is supplied from the tank to the pressure switch are possibly damaged. After checking all the details and the pressure switch itself, we collect the machine and run the test mode.electronic module in the car Indesit

If even after this the problem has not been resolved, which is extremely rare, then the cause must be sought in the electronic module of the Indesit machine. It is quite difficult to cope with such a task yourself, it is better to contact the master. But if there is a desire and time, then you can read the article about repair of electronic modules in washing machines.

So, the error f05 is an error related to the drain system of the Indesit washing machine, including the pump and pressure switch. A careful and phased inspection of all components in most cases will help to deal with the problem on their own. Have a good repair!

    I got F05 sometimes. The pump seemed to work, but it turned out that there was a large output on the bearings of the rotor, and sometimes it “stuck” to the stator. Need to change the pump, the machine is 15 years old. Temporarily solved the problem by turning the rotor shaft 180 *.
