Ariston AIB16 - What is fault code F-10?

My Ariston AIB16 has developed a fault with the code of F-10, can anyone tell me what this code means.
Thanks.

UNPLUG THE MACHINE FIRST

The problem it the presure stat is not sensing, this is usually caused by the air trap being blocked.

You need to lean the machine back so you can get underneath it.

You need to follow the black rubber pipe that goes from the pump to the bottom of the drum and near the drum end you will see a branch off that has a white tube that runs up the side of the drum, You need to use your grips and release th clip that holds his pipe in place and remove it from the black rubber pipe. there is a small white hose at the top of the white tube too. release this too.

then wash it out in the sink.

Poke your finger down the rubber pipe to make sure this is clear too.

Reassemble and test.
