    How to resolve F05 error code on washing machine

    Hi there, I have an F05 error code on my hotpoint washing machine and think it related to a blockage. Would anyone know how I can go about checking to see where the blockage is? I assume I need to switch off my water from mains before I check? Thank you!

    Need help with inherited washing machine and dishwasher plumbing.
