What does the Indesit F10 error code mean?

F10 on Indesit relates to the pressure sensor system. The machine uses a pressure switch and a thin hose to monitor water level. If the hose is split, disconnected, or blocked, the machine cannot tell how much water is in the drum and will stop the cycle as a safety precaution.

How to fix the Indesit F10 error code

  1. Unplug the machine and remove the top panel.
  2. Find the pressure switch — a small round disc with a thin rubber hose, usually near the top corner of the machine.
  3. Inspect the hose end-to-end: check both connection points are secure, and squeeze along the length to feel for splits or blockages.
  4. Disconnect the hose at the pressure switch end and blow gently through it — a click from the switch confirms it is functional.
  5. A replacement pressure switch costs £10–20 and the repair is straightforward once the top panel is off.
