error code F-05 on an Indesit Washing Machine?

If you remove the bottom panel at the front of the machine below the door, you will see a cylinder which unscrews anti-clockwise. Unscrew it and remove. (don't remove the philips screws, just the black cylinder). Once removed have a good feel around for hair clips and coins ect. especially at the rear of the hole where their is a small white thing that you can turn with your finger. This is what jams with hair clips and small thin objects stopping the water from empying, it will make a grinding noise if this happens.

Hi, I can agree with Lea's answer about the error code being a blockage, but unfortunately I do not know where to start to find the solution. I am in the same situation with my Indesit WDE12. Hope someone out there can help this ever increasing problem.

All I know is that it's a blockage somewhere. But I haven't got the faintest idea how to unblock, and I hope someone can help us, bcause I'm trying to find out how to do it myself due to the same problem I have with the washing machine.
