what does F-04 mean on my hotpoint washing machine?

my washer has stopped wont open, or drain the water out, its flashing a code F-04 and i cant even open the door, grateful if you could help me thanks

F04 - problem with pressure switch. - a round item about 3 inches across with several wires connected, it sits under the top cover. Its an air operated switch which tells the machine water has reached the correct level. Disconnect the thin rubber pipe from the switch and blow down through it to clear any blockage. Switch itself may be faulty but its more likely the pipe is blocked.
