What does f05 mean on a hotpoint washing machine?

The Hotpoint washing machine error code F05 indicates a draining issue, specifically that the machine is unable to pump out wastewater. This is often due to a blockage in the wastewater pump or hose. The error may be accompanied by water in the washer and wet clothes that won't spin.

The primary cause of an F05 error is a blocked pump, and the first step to resolve it is to clear the pump's filter, which can become obstructed with foreign objects and washing residue. If the filter is clear, the next step is to check the wastewater hose for blockages. If the issue persists, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.
