F05 Error on Hotpoint Washing Machine

[Domo]

Calling all plumbers or DIY experts..

Of all the nights our washing machine had to pack up on a Sunday! Argh!
It's a Hotpoint WMFUG 842.

- The manual suggests a blocked pump but I've checked and it's clear.
- Water does not seem to be entering the drum at all
- I partially unscrewed the water inlet pipe and water is flowing through it
- The machine is approx. 6 months old

Of course, we're going to get an engineer out tomorrow but that doesn't help the current situation

Any pointers will be well received..

Error F05 on some Hotpoint washing machines means the pressure switch has “jammed” on, so the machine thinks it’s full of water and refuses to spin. It may indeed be full of water – but not necessarily.
