Just an update.
I tried to run Programme C which is pump out but nothing.
I’ve removed the rear cover and tapped the pump with my pliers. It’s then pumping out the water.
On removing the pump I noticed that it’s quite warm and at first had to let it go.
At this point I can spin the impeller by hand and feel a slight resistance as there should be.

Does the pump seem ok to you ?
Worked when I hit it.
Quite warm also.
 
Error F05 means the pressure switch did not operate, if you now cannot get the machine to rinse & drain it suggests that there may be a blockage/ contamination in the pump body. If you have stripped & cleaned it all then it may need replacing.

Hi,
If the code is for pressure switch would an issue with the drain pump cause the pressure switch not to operate and show the error message.
Nothing happened when I selected the pump out cycle but hitting the drain pump with pliers then the drain out started and machine emptied.
 
The switch is operated by air pressure created by water in the pump body going up the thin pipe to the switch.
