WasherErrorCodes

F05 may appear due to minor faults and due to serious malfunctions of the household unit. However, there is no need to panic as all the troubles can be solved.

Error F05 in Indesit washing machine occurs after it ceases to drain the water from the drum, which causes many side effects. There are three causes for this:

• the drain hose is very clogged, the water does not flow into the sewer pipes;
• the most common malfunction is the breakdown of the drain pump;
• water level sensor malfunction, that is, the perception of false information as true.

The breakdown of the sensor implies the completion of the drainage process during the pumping of water when the program has already formed a signal that there is no liquid in the drum. As a result, the software of the device fails and error F05 appears.

When the hose is clogged, the drain pump – while trying to drain water –idles and begins to make specific sounds. The same thing occurs with the failure of the pump.
