What the F05 Error Code Means
The F05 error code indicates that the water temperature sensor — also known as the NTC sensor — is not detecting the correct water temperature or is giving readings outside the expected range. The machine stops the programme as a precaution to prevent overheating or incorrect wash temperatures.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty NTC temperature sensor
The temperature sensor has failed and is providing incorrect readings to the control board, causing the machine to stop the cycle.
Wiring fault
A loose or damaged connection between the temperature sensor and the control board can cause incorrect or no readings to be reported.
Control board fault
An issue with the main electronic control module can prevent it from correctly reading temperature sensor data.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Restart the washing machine
Switch the machine off at the mains and leave it unplugged for a few minutes. Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme. A power reset can sometimes clear a temporary sensor fault.
If the error persists after a reset, the temperature sensor will need to be inspected and tested by a qualified engineer.
