Clean the Pump Filter and Clear the Impeller

Safety Precautions: Always unplug the washing machine from the power supply before performing any maintenance.

Tools Needed: A shallow tray or baking sheet, several absorbent towels, and a cloth for cleaning.

1. Place a shallow tray and towels on the floor directly beneath the flap at the bottom front of the machine to catch escaping water.
2. Open the pump filter flap and slowly unscrew the filter cover in a counter-clockwise direction, allowing the water to drain gradually into your tray.
3. Once all water has drained, fully remove the filter housing.
4. Inspect the filter and the internal cavity for physical debris such as coins, lint, hair, or small clothing items, and remove them.
5. Locate the impeller—the small fan-like component—inside the pump housing and use your finger to manually rotate it to ensure it spins freely without any resistance or obstruction.
6. Clean the filter under running water to remove any remaining residue and screw it back into the machine, ensuring it is tightened securely to prevent leaks.
7. Plug the machine back in and run a short 'Drain/Spin' cycle to verify that the water pumps out effectively and the F05 error is cleared.
