Pull the plug & remove the lid. The pressure switch is on the right hand side. The hose is likely secured to it by a spring loaded clip. Using a pair of pliers give it a nip to release the pressure then push the clip (if it has one) a little way down the hose so it’s out of the way. You ought to be able to twist & pull the hose off the pressure switch, but if you find it difficult use a small screwdriver to ease it off slightly first then pull it off the rest of the way. If you find it awkward to do that way you could remove the pressure switch from its fitting so you have more room to work. Good luck

That's great I'll try it tomorrow. Does it come off at the end as well? Then I can make sure it's clear

Just put 2 pints of water in the drum and blow done it. If you here bubbles it's clear. They don't normally block up what's the problem with it.

When it's filling up with water the reduced crease light comes on. Sometimes it doesn't even work at all and if you turn it off at mains for a bit then try again it'll come on

Check the filter is clean, presure pipe is connected to it on the sump. Make sure connectors are pushed on the pcb. If that don't cure it pcb faulty

right, blew down pipe and it's clear, the 2nd light is still on (reduced creases) so do you think its the pcb?

As long as you checked what else I said then it's the pcb.
