    hi, my hotpoint washer is showing an error F-04 just after i start the machine, i have read a few posts that it could be blocked or that the pressure switch could be jamed.

    i have cleaned out the ‘tennis ball’ ( found £1.12 & several hair clips ) and i have checked the pressure switch with a multimeter ( 4 contacts with no pressure 2 are made and 2 open, when you apply pressure the 2 open ones are now made and the others open ) but i still get the same error.

    any ideas?

    thanks in advance Stu

    did you clean out further down the hose between the “tennis ball” and pump?

    thanks for the reply, yea i have taken the hose complety off, taken apart the pump, and even checked the small pipe leading to the pressure sensor.

    thanks just checked the connections all looks to be clean contacts etc, tried it again and the pump goes but after less than a minute i get the same f-04 error.

    thanks

    Hi Stu

    It seems your getting nowhere fast with that machine?
    Sadly there are some bad reviews on that model….but you dont want to hear that !

    I suspect it is the pressure switch, cut your losses and get a local based engineer to come out and have a look to put you out of the misery and get the machine doing what it’s supposed to do.
