Hello. If the problem happens every time you wash and is not an intermittent phenomenon, my first guess is your main control board has gotten corrupted somehow(there is a small computer program stored on the board which tells the machine how to operate dependent on which wash options you choose). I had to check extensively for the parts diagram to your unit--there is only one board that controls EVERYTHING...you will need to get the actual model number from the barcode sticker when trying to get this board. It will be located near or on the door. I hope I helped you!
f-05 usually relates to either the pump being blocked or the sump of this particular model being full of coins, color catchers etc. first keep it simple, ensure outlet hose is not blocked or kinked....but if not follow these steps
To sort this isolate from mains
take off back inspection panel.
tilt machine forward- get sum1 to hold it for u.
The sump is the black hose attached to drum.
place a basin under this and loosen jublie clamp using star head screw driver/ 8mm socket,
pull sump downwards and remove any blockage.
note the plastic ball is part of the sump assembley.
refitt the sump again and tighten clamp, pull down firmly on sump to ensure fitted correctly
if there was nothing in the sump it is sumthing jamming the pump, hairgrip, nail, etc.tilt machine forward as above with a basin ensuring isolated from mains power
pump is attached to other end of sump hose, right side of machine as you look in the back.
using flat screwdriver lift plastic tag up and slide pump assembley to the left releasing it from base of machine
clip of plastic cover from top of pump
remove wires from pump
u should now be able to turn pump around so u can see 3 hex head screws
The User Manual for this model was of no help ... other than to suggest unplugging the unit which you already did ...
I could not find specific error codes for your model ... but F06 on Hotpoint washers in general have two definitions for F06:
F06 - Door lock fault
Issue: Washing Machines door cannot be opened or closed / when the door is closed the machine the programme will not start.
F06 - Program selector dial
Since you are having door issues ... then I would say the door lock is indeed the problem.
Check to make sure there is not any debris in the door lock insert, but my guess is that is not your problem.
It could be the latch on the door or the lock switch mechanism in the machine housing. Odds are it is the locking mechanism
Here is a Hotpoint You Tube on how to replace ... but it is not for your specific model

Good luck with your troubleshooting!
with the gas still off, remove the offending part, and replace it. Depending on the model, they can be easy to replace, or some are difficult. Some have no wires, others will. It's possible the part can be repaired, but finding someone with the know how and tools to do so will be difficult at best. Hopefully you have somewhere reasonably close that sells parts.
From the information you have supplied, I suspect that the door interlock switch may be faulty. But without more information, it is difficult to be certain.
I hope this helps?
It seems that the door cannot be locked.
Check that the door closes correctly and you hear the click when it closes. If this is ok and you cannot start any cycle but continue hear clicking, then you have a problem with the door lock latch and needs to be replaced. Here is a video of how you can do it after you buy the spare part, according to the model and serial number of your appliance. The video is for a different brand of washer but don't worry the process is exactly the same!
If you think you can't fix it your own, you should call an engineer.. Washer Door Lock Assembly part 131763202 How To Replace
Most likely the main oven element has blown. A new element will cost about £20-£40, and if you're reasonably competent you can swap it in around 15 minutes. Turn the power off, undo the screws holding the element and pull it out. Carefully disconnect the push on terminals and take the element out. You probably won't even need to test the element with a multimeter, as you'll easily see if it's blown as the insulation will have blown off. nb. You may have to remove a cover before you can get at the element but should only be 4 screws max. Refitting is reversal of removal, just make sure the wires don't fall back behind the oven casing before you reconnect them!
Hi
F06 is for a door lock fault.
In order to get the door open you will need to drain any water still in the tub by lowering the drain hose into a bowl at floor level. This should then allow the door lock to open.
if the door still does not open, then you will need to access the door lock from inside the machine via removal of the top panel of the machine. Check the cable connections to the lock if ok then next check the motor brushes for wear.
If the machine has taken in water, and not drained it out. it will prevent the door from opening.
Have you tried draining the machine, and then trying to open the door?? The easiest way it to either set the machine on a slow spin cycle, and allow it to finish that, or if your particular machine has a "drain cycle" ( this feature is not on all models) set the machine to drain, and when it has finished, try opening the door. I hope this helps?
It sounds like an over temp sensor is tripping.....Make sure the lint filter is clean and no lint is blocking the vent pipe.........A fire hazard is present so be careful......Unplug the Unit while servicing the vent piping...........
It depends on the reason for the hot smell - discovering this would mean a trip to the service shop and weighing the cost of that against a replacement microwave.
Unless your Hotpoint is something special, it is likely a replacement would make sense.
It is wise to periodically measure the power output of a microwave oven by timing the boiling of a measured quantity of water when it is young. When or if the time has extended more than about 10% it is time to think about service or replacement. It is also important to keep the inside of the cabinet clean and all the air vents clear.
Thing to do check pump is not blocked and clear it then reset machine by unplugging for 5 mins and plug back in if still gets error F 05 then you need a repair call out. hope this helps.
