VerifiedHiya,
Has the appliance stopped full or empty of water?
Take off the plastic cover below the front panel.
Is there a removable circular cover there?
Thanks
Hiya,
F05 indicates the pressure switch is stuck on full.
This is normally because the drain hose/pump/filter is blocked.
First, check the drain hose where it connects to the house drains for a blockage.
Check both the hose and the connection.
If these are ok, you'll need to manually drain the water out of the appliance.
Put a dish and towel in front of the filter cap.
Slacken the filter cap and drain the water out.
Tighten the cap when you need to empty the dish.
Once the machine is empty of water, pull out the filter and clean out any debris in there.
Look in and you'll see the pump impellor.
Use a screwdriver and manually turn the impellor.
If all is ok, refit the filter cap and try the machine again.
Hope this helps
Let me know how it goes or if you need more help
Thanks
