Watched so many videos and none of them helped, then found this and it was the exact same washing machine with the exact same problem!! So we have fixed it now, thank you so much!! Very much appreciated from a busy mum with 4 days worth of washing to catch up on 🥰
Thanks for this. All the 'pro' solutions I found only got as far as clearing the filter... that step further you showed sorted it for me! Lesson... put washable face coverings in a net bag or some-such. Cheers.
Thank you so much for the helpful video. I've had this happen a few times and it's always been related to the pump. But this time it was exactly the same issue you had. I am no plumber or anything like that, so I wouldn't have ever known to look there. Saved me a lot of money. Thank you so much for the help.
Thank you so much for making this video, I tried exactly as you described in video, and guess what. A lost sock from a week ago showed up at the end of the pipe where the ball is, exactly like you had, obviously a different sock but it was blocking the drainage of water. PROBLEM SOLVED and washing machine is now working fine again thanks to you!! All the best, and thanks again for making the great video and helping us out!
I am so very thankful finding your video.🎉 Exactly this has happened last night with my washing machine and I thought I would buy a new one even tthough it’s just three years old. I saw your video and my husband fixed it in minutes, and we had as well a black sock there. Now everything works.❤ Thank you very much and me God bless you always. Greetings from Germany.
FO5 appeared on our washer today first time I've had a go at washing a load thinking my wife would be impressed, she wasn't as she decided I killed the washer and therefore only fair if she killed me . We have no way to replace our washer so the timing couldn't have been worse...dam COVID-19!! Anyways I narrowly avoided my planned execution by watching your excellent video and hey presto our washer is working fine. BTW it wasn't a sock in my case but some coins that must have been in there for years as they were nearly worn smooth, just laying in wait for me to have a go at the washing!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, take care of you and yours be lucky.
I would like to thank you for sharing this video! Two days ago I had your same problem, a sock was trapped in the pipe! Thanks to your video I was able to sort the problem out!
Many thanks - 2 days before Christmas and ran into this issue! Just cleared a load of crap from that pipe - looks to have done the trick!! Colour retainer sheets were the main culprit!!! Happy Christmas
I got the F05 code at the start of the first lockdown, which was a blockage at the front of the machine. I've now just cleared a blockage at the start of the second lockdown. I wasn't holding out much hope when I disconnected the black pipe but a j cloth had somehow got stuck in it. The machine is now working fine. Thanks a lot for your video.
Thank you!! This worked on my Hotpoint Aquarius. Our wash stopped mid cycle and locked the clothes inside. We unplugged the washing machine which eventually unlocked the door. We drained the water through the bottom valve and removed the clothes. Tilted the machine so I could unscrew the black pipe and remove the culprit. Cheers!
@@NayeemaGamez Had no cash to buy new one when my nagging wife was stressed and nearly broke up with me when our washing had this problem . This RUclipsr helped me to fix mine with the amazing info😁
Like everyone else says, "Thank you so much for this video!!!" I had cleaned out 93 cents from the front of the machine. After watching this video I cleaned out this other area. There was no sock but I actually had change that had passed that white ball and was in the flexible pipe between that connection and the pump. Ten quarters, 9 dimes, 2 nickels and 16 pennies. $3.66 So not only did you save us from buying a new washing machine...for now, we also got $4.59 from our savings washer. Thanks again, mate!
Emptying the filter worked for a short while. I got £1.27 in change out. Later had to tip machine on its side and take off the pipe and I got another £10.44 out. I let it fall out into a saucepan. I thought I had won the jackpot in Vegas!
I have a problem with this machine. I was washing a pillow and the frikin thing had opened while washing so all the stuff inside came out and now my machine is full of pillow stuff all through the pipes. Got the F_ _ _ _5 code so its probably clogged up. Will try and open the back tomorrow. I was wondering. If its some water inside, can anything be damaged when I take of the pump inside. I mean any electric bits if the get water on em?
After lot of video's with only talking you are the first who let us see how and where. Many thanks brother!

You’re a star! I watched this and fixed my daughter’s machine. It was like a real time replay of your video when I did it. Awesome 👍
Thanks glad it helped
First video for FO5 where the pipe with the ball was mentioned. Thanks
Thank you! Although it was challenging your video really helped. One removal of a trapped sock later and our washing machine is back to normal!

You legend! Had some of my wife's knickers get stuck in the same spot.

Thanks man, just saved 160 euro for me , God bless 🙌
Am having same problem and the insurance company is taking long to come fix it, i think am going to give it a try, 🙏👍
The black pipe is underneath the drum . You will need someone to hold the machine on an angle or put down on side way to access it.
Regards
Many many thanks .my washing machine has exactly the same issue .I will try to do according to guidance .really appreciate .kind regard
Thank you from Italy! You are great!

Found the offending item and now its perfect!! Thank you thank you thank you 😁
Did you go in through the back or top?
Do you need to take the back off the washer or underneath/the bottom to get to the ball?
Great job dude i fixed my moms washing machine and it worked thanks
Thank you I figured it out and fixed my machine!

That's well done trouble brought you luck.
