We have a problem with an indesit washing machine where.
Last week it stopped working (water wouldn't drain away)

I was able to identify error 'f11 lights 1&3&4, pump/draining error' as I wasn't able to get the filter housing open I had to take the pump/sump unit out and found lot's of debris blocking the impellor, cleared that all up and put back together (making sure impellor would turn). Running through cycle and the machine stops on the same place, but now with a different error, 'f05 lights 2&4, pressure sw stuck on full' I looked for a few hints and found some people suggesting it's either the motor or the pressure switch. However I checked all lines between sump and pressure switch, found those lines clear checked lines from drum, through sump and out to waste pipe all clear. I knew that the impellor was moving unobstructed but wanted to check that the motor was working, so connected it up to 240V and it's spinning nicely.
Any thoughts on where to look next to resolve?
