I think that this would be Error 5 – “Pressure Switch Non Compliant”, In every case that I have had this error it has been caused by gunge in the air trap and I have usually had to put a couple of litres of water into the machine and then fire water down the pressure tube from the switch end to clear it.

I have got some service manuals saved for a HEFC2B19CUK which I think is a very similar machine if you need them.

Hi Jem, I tried that and I activated the pressure switch manually, still error on it
I’m thinking it may be the inlet turbine not registering water flow but again not sure thanks kieran

Sometimes I will have to pull and push the water (note: don’t bother using air as it doesn’t seem to have enough power) quite fast through the pressure trap to get it to shift the gunge but you will usually see the gunge floating into the sump fairly quickly.

The pressure switch has to be activated by the time the machine has come to the end of the static fill (2.5L of water), if there is gunge in the trap then it may test out okay when you fill it manually but it is too slow to react in time when the machine does it which will cause the error to be thrown (guess who bought a board one day because they didn’t realise this was what was happening ).

Anyway i have emailed you the service manual plus a load of other documents that I had saved against that model no.
