Possible Causes

Faulty water level pressure switch, blocked pressure hose, wiring issue between pressure switch and control, failed thermistor (on some Inglis models)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer and shut off both hot and cold water supplies.

Step-by-step checks (pressure-related F05):

  • 1. Locate pressure switch: Remove the top panel. The pressure switch is a round plastic device with a small rubber hose attached, usually mounted on the side wall or near the control board.
  • 2. Inspect pressure hose: Remove the small rubber hose from the switch and from the tub/air dome. Blow gently through it; it should be clear. Clean or replace if clogged or cracked.
  • 3. Check air dome on tub: Where the hose connects to the tub, ensure the port is not blocked with detergent residue or lint. Clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner.
  • 4. Test switch connections: Verify the wiring harness is firmly seated on the pressure switch. Look for corrosion or loose pins.
  • 5. Replace pressure switch if suspect: If the hose and port are clear but F05 persists, replace the pressure switch with the correct Inglis part number. Transfer wires one at a time to avoid miswiring.

Temperature-related F05 (if specified in tech sheet):

  • Check the temperature sensor (thermistor) in the heater or tub area for proper resistance (typically ~10–50 kΩ depending on temperature). Replace if open/shorted.

When to call a pro: If you cannot identify whether your model uses F05 for pressure or temperature, consult the tech sheet inside the cabinet or contact a technician.
