I had the same code it is caused by the hose leaking water onto the inlet solenoid valve connections.
There is a plastic sheet over the valve but this helps to direct the water to the valves electrical connections.
I moved the sheet back and wrapped insulation tape around the electrical terminals of the valve its still working now 6 months on.
Hope this helps.

Hotpoint Washing Machines and Washer Dryers
F10 - No cold fill. Check that the taps are on or if the drain hoses are kinked.
F11 - No hot fill.The ambient temperature is likely to be below freezing possibly due to the pipes being frozen. Also check that the taps are on or if the drain hoses are kinked.
F12 - No mixed fill. It is likely that the water is not turned on at the taps.
F13 - Check the water supply, inlet valve and hot and cold hose connections.
F14 - A fault with the water heating has occurred. Book a service engineer
F15 - Water is not being pumped out and a flood condition could occur. Check that the drainage hose is raised to the recommended minimum height and that the pipe is not blocked.
F16 - Extremely high water level Disconnect or turn off the water supply and ensure that the water level does not rise any more. Then Book a service engineer.
F17 - Door not closed properly. Close door firmly at the 3 o'clock position.
F20/1 - The thermistor resistance has drifted or the temperature scanning sequence is incorrect. The ambient temperature could be below freezing. Book a service engineer.
F30/31 - A motor drive problem has occurred. Try running the programme again. If the problem persists book a service engineer.
F40 - Water below protection level during a heat step. Book a service engineer.
F41 - Water level detect sequence incorrect. Book a service engineer.
F50/51 - Customer language and wash programme have not been saved. The system will run with default conditions (1000rpm max and English language). Book a service engineer to re-programme your product.
