Washer not emptying?

My Hotpoint Washer Dryer Ultima 5+5 is not emptying. Please could you tell me how to recitfy this. The display is showing F-05 and will not turn off.
I think the model is wd860.

take a look behind the front kick panel,may have a filter inspection cover.usually at the right handside,not sure on your model,if it has then this will give you access to remove any foreign object blocking or jamming the pump.simply unplug the machine and turn the inspection cover counter clockwise,have plenty of towels ready and mop and bucket for water on removal .if yours hasn't got the inspection cover, then you will have to remove the lower panel at the rear of the machine to gain access to the pump.you will notice a blk rubber pipe coming from the drum and onto the pump .squeeze together the spring clip,and remove the hose .make sure the pipe is clear and inspect the filter.once again get ready for lots of water when you remove the pipe from the pump .once the water is released from the machine ,you will now be able to open the door.
