Asko Dishwasher Error Codes
The error/fault or function codes listed here will vary from model to model. The codes on the model you are servicing might be different from what is listed. If this is the case, check the technical data sheet, the use and care guide, or the manufacturer’s website, or call the manufacturer for the description of the error/fault code you are experiencing.
Sometimes, by disconnecting the electricity to the product and waiting for two minutes and then turning on the electricity, this may reset the error/fault or function code, allowing you to reprogram and test the operation of the appliance.
For your safety and the safety of others, all testing and physical inspections of the product must be performed with the electricity turned off. On occasion, you will have to test a component with the electricity on. Extreme care must be taken to prevent electrical mishaps.
| Error Code | Description | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| F1 | A problem has occurred in the water heating cycle. The water temperature in the dishwasher did not reach the predetermined temperature within 60 minutes. | Check the water temperature at the sink next to the dishwasher. It should be around 120–140 degrees Fahrenheit. Check the water heater temperature also. Check the dishwasher heater and circuit components. Do not take showers or baths or run the automatic washer before running the dishwasher—this will deplete the hot water supply in the water heater. |
| F2 | Dishwasher overfilled or float stuck and/or float switch failure or clogged sump or drain. | Check for debris in the sump area of the tub. Check the water float and switch assembly. Check the water inlet valve. |
| F3 | Thermistor malfunction. | Check the thermistor and connecting wiring circuit. |
| F4 | Water fill problem. Dishwasher models with level-controlled fill only. Note: If the control lights are blinking, the pump is running, and the controls are dead, the fault will indicate an overfill problem. | Check for water in the base pan. The dishwasher will not operate if water is in the pan. Remove the water, reset the dishwasher, and inspect for leaks. Check float assembly. |
| F5 | Valve leakage fault code. | Inspect valve for leaks. |
| F7 | Blocked drain fault code. | The drain pump can be cleaned out. Refer to the use and care guide for the cleanout procedure. |
| F8 | Clogged filter fault code. One or all three filters are clogged. | Before beginning to disassemble the filters, refer to the use and care guide for proper removal and cleaning instructions for the filters. |
