I think F05 relates to the pressure switch. Google that and you’ll find how to do some simple steps to check it out.

There are some good video tutorials out there. Espares are a good bunch to look up.

Good luck

F-05 is a a drainage problem.
Here are the things to check:

First of all isolate the machine from the mains power supply!!

Check the filter first:
-remove front kick strip
-filter located on right hand side
-have a few towels handy, filter screws out anti clockwise
-remove any foreign objects
-reach in and make sure pump impeller turning freely
-refit filter until hand tight.

If the filter does not screw relativly easy do not force it as it will break. If this is the case do this:

-pull machine out of its posistion
-tilt the machine backwards
-remove 2 star head screws located beside the filter
-these screws hold the filter and pump housing in place
-turn the housing clockwise to relese it and let it drop down
-get a basin or a saucepan and put it under the housing
-use cup pliers or shifters to remove the clamp from the black hose
-remove the black sump house from the filter housing
-this will let u remove any objects (usually hair grips) that is preventing the filter from turning.
-then check the pump and filter
– reassemble

If you are this far into the machine at this point u should check the sump also. (Other end of the black hose attached to the drum)

-star head screw or 8mm socket to loosen clamp
-pull sump down to remove
-remove anything blocking (Do not remove the ball)

If after trying all this u find nothing blocking the sump or filter you could have a faulty drain pump. If your really really unlucky it could also be a triac blown on the main pcb.

If ur aquiltas is one of the newer models with a linear pressure switch it is possible after clearing any blockage alls the machine will do is pump out constantly, if this is the case reprograming the main board will be needed.

To be honest it is always something either causing a blockage or jamming the pump. So take your time and dont rush the job and you should save yourself a call out charge.
