Asko Dishwasher Error Codes

 

Turn off the machine with the main power switch and then turn it on again to clear the error message from the display.

Error Codes	Solution
F1	Temperature stop fault. The temperature rise is less than 5°C in ten minutes. Check: Element, thermistor, water level, circulation pump and control unit, wiring.
F2	Overfilling. Too much water in the machine (pressure sensor) or float activated. Check: Drain pump (blockage in hoses), flow sensor, inlet valve, leakage, wiring.
F3	Thermistor fault. Interruption or >80°C. The programme exits from the heating stage and continues in the process. Indication only in the service menu. Check: Thermistor, control unit.
F4	Water intake fault. < 80 pulses within 60 seconds or correct number of pulses is not achieved within 255 seconds. Programme interrupted. Check: Water supply, flow sensor, inlet valve, wiring.
F5	Valve leakage. > 80 pulses detected when the inlet valve is deactivated. Certain models attempt to remedy the leak first. Any programme in progress is interrupted (drain pump activated). Check: Leakage through inlet valve, flow sensor.
F6	Pressure sensor fault. Output signal > 4.8V. The programme continues. Indication only in the service menu. Check: Pressure sensor, control unit and wiring.
F7	Pumping out fault. Water not evacuated after 120 seconds’ pumping out. Programme interrupted. Check: Drain pump, hoses, installation of drain hose, control unit and wiring.
F8	Blocked filter. The pressure sensor senses excessively low pressure during the final rinse. Indication after end of programme. Check: Filter, sump (pressure chamber), pressure sensor.
F9	Circulation fault. The pressure sensor senses excessively low pressure (e.g. no water in the machine) or excessively high pressure (e.g. the circulation pump is defective). Check: Circulation pump, filter, water level, pressure chamber and pressure sensor.
F10	Overfilling. Check Drain pump (blocked hose), flow meter, inlet valve, leaks and cables.
F11	Water outlet fault. Check Drain pump, hoses, drain hose fittings, control unit and cables. Also check whether filter is blocked.
F12	Water inlet fault. Check Water inlet, flow meter, inlet valve and cables.
F40	Inlet valve leakage. Check Leak through inlet valve and flow meter
F41	Temp stop fault. Check Element, thermistor, water level, circulation pump, control unit and cables.
F42	Thermistor fault. Check Thermistor, plugs, wire harness, and control unit.
F43	Pressure sensor fault. Check Pressure sensor, control unit and cables.
F44	Turbidity sensor fault. Check Water quality, filters, turbidity sensor and drain system.
F45	Spray arm diverter fault. Check Spray arm diverter (functioning gearbox, switches and cables).
F52	Water level fault
F54	Overfilling water 2. Turn off the water supply valve.
F56	Circ. pump fault.
FA	Turbidity sensor fault. Indication only in the service menu. The machine assumes high turbidity for “choice of route” in the automatic programme. Check: Water quality, filter, turbidity sensor, drain system.
FB	Spray arm divider fault. Position contact is continuously closed or open. The programme proceeds. Indication only in the service menu. Check: Spray arm divider (function of gearbox, contacts and wiring).
L6	Rinse aid indication
L7	Door open/Close door
Close the door	The door is open. Close the door.
Temp stop fault	Temperature increase less than 5°C (41°F) in ten minutes. Program continues with the process. Only indicated in service menu.
Overfilling	Overfilling. Too much water in the machine (pressure sensor) or float activated. If the water has not been emptied within 60 seconds, the program stops (drain pump activated).
Thermistor fault	Communication between the thermistor and control unit has stopped or the thermistor is reporting temperatures greater than 80°C (176°F). Program continues with the process. Only indicated in service menu.
Water inlet fault	< 80 pulses within 60 seconds or correct number of pulses not achieved within 255 seconds. Program stops.
Inlet valve leakage	Water intake detected when inlet valve deactivated in program sequence or standby. In this case the machine attempts to close the valve by opening it for 2 seconds and then closing it again. If water flow through the valve is still detected any current program is stopped (drain pump activated).
Pressure sensor fault	Output signal > 4.8 V. The program continues. Only indicated in service menu.
Water outlet fault	Water not drained after 120 seconds draining. Program stops.
Turbidity sensor fault	Only indicated in service menu. The machine assumes high turbidity in case of “uncertainty” in the auto program.
Diverter fault	Position switch always closed or open. The program continues. Only indicated in service menu.
Humidity sensor fault	“Humidity sensor fault” (only in service menu) Check Humidity sensor, cables, fan, damper and Wax motor.
Clean filter	The display indicates “Clean filter” automatically after every 300 cycles.
