Water not pumping away all the time
Hi
I have a indesit iwe 7145, I am having to release the water from the filter at the front as it comes up with f05 on about every 2-3 spins, once the water is released it works fine and washes but then on the next cycle it does it again. IV tried to see if it has a blockage and it doesn't. Would it be the water pump not man enough to pump away the water

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Indesit IWE 7145 showing F05 and intermittently not draining
- The problem
- An Indesit IWE 7145 washing machine was reporting fault code F05 about every two to three spin cycles. The user had to release water from the front filter to continue. After that it would complete a wash, but the fault returned on the next cycle. The user reported checking for a blockage and did not find one.
- Likely cause
- The accepted advice was that F05 on this platform can indicate a pressure system fault as well as a drain-out problem, so the issue was not confirmed as a weak or failed pump.
- What fixed it
- Review the F05 fault diagnosis with particular attention to the pressure system as well as the drain system. The exact repair was not confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- User checked for a blockage and reported none found
- Fault code F05 appeared intermittently, roughly every 2-3 spin cycles
- Machine would run again after water was released from the front filter
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Since Indesit and Hotpoint are now made by the same manufacturer they share some error codes on some models. If you have a good read about the error code F05 you should get an idea what the problem might be. You'll see that it is possible for there to be a problem with the pressure system and not necessarily a problem with pumping out the water.
