How to fix ASKO Dishwasher F10 and F11 ERROR CODES and How to Drain Dishwasher

[@drshaynescott]

Thank you so much. It's Sunday night, I have so many dirty dishes and we have an f11 error. We have tried all your suggestions and now we think maybe the pump needs replacing. I am so grateful that we could trouble shoot this because I hate calling a tech just for something simple. At least I know we have tried to solve it ourselves

[@colleensiegel8717]

I had the f10 situation and when the repairman came he cut(trimmed) that tube that connects into the sink drain so it was flush with the pipe..That dishwasher drain tube thing was too long and creating a hang up where food particles were getting stuck/clogging. it happened soon after the dishwasher was first installed and after that repair it has never happened again..That was 2009..Still going today Enjoyed your video. Nice job. I have replaced the thermostat and heating element trying to trouble shoot why our machine isn't heating the water anymore. I went to look at a new machine and the salesman said I was better off repairing my Asko as they are made to last 20 years or more..At least they have been made that way in the past. I may have to call a repairman since my most recent repair ( putting a new heating element in just today) has not solved my problem.

[@doreenrg]

Thanks! I love that we have each other to learn from so we can try and troubleshoot on our own before paying a lot of money to get it fixed professionally. What motivated me to make this video is how EASY of a fix this was to make my dishwasher start working again. I wanted to help someone else save money, if I could. Hopefully our ASKOs really do last 20 years. I’m 3-4 years in and I’ve already had to get a whole bunch of things fixed on both of my dishwashers. I learned a lot from your comment so thanks for taking the time to write that!

[@lukiejames]

Unfortunately first hand from working in the industry asko are certainly not made for 20 years. If you get ten years you’re lucky. They are incredibly unreliable. I have their clothes dryer. I have had one unit replaced and I’m on the 6th repair in 3 years. Miele is far superior to asko in every way.

[@jaymiller238]

This was huge. Thank you for this video. Had an F11 and ended up having to clear the line under the sink. Much appreciated. Now can you help with the built in kitchenaide microwave.

[@doreenrg]

Glad to hear this!! It feels great to fix, and know how to fix your own stuff, right? I stay on top of the maintenance stuff I do in this video and I haven't ran into more error issues...yet! haha. I don't have a built in microwave, but any time things break down or isn't working well in our house then I often make a video to help other people once I figure out the fix.

[@freddynz]

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for this :), I’m a technician in New Zealand, have an Asko in my workshop, f10/11 faults I’ve not been able to resolve… your video gave me a “lightbulb” moment, specifically the toothbrush into the pump vent, did that with a screwdriver and a lot of rubbish came out (plus the tube to the top rotor).. and so far so good …. Awesome.. Thankyou very much :)

[@doreenrg]

Great - glad to hear it. Love it.

[@freddynz]

Further to my previous comment, the dishwasher has gone thru it’s cycle without faulting… so to expand for anyone else, remove the lower spray arm (it pulls off) and clean the jets (holes), remove the upper one (unscrews), do the same, remove the upper basket and the nozzle that feeds into it was also blocked , poke the rubbish out, unclip the cover (obvious how), then you can run the dishwasher without the arms for a few mins and the gush of water will clear any blockage in the pipe….. anyway thanks again for this video, saved me replacing the flow meter which was my next step… 😊

@@doreenrg youré welcome... Asko isnt a brand i usually work on, and i dont recall seeing a similiar fault on other brands, hence it wasnt an obvious fix... I went to KZbin bascially for ideas and yours was the 1st video i clicked on... had already checked drain, sump, etc... it was when you put the shortened toothbrush in the vent hole that it suddenly clicked, poked a screwdriver in there and out all this rubbish came ! Asko is a good Brand, esp their older stuff... this dishwasher has the cabinet off in my workshop and i can happily report its very well made (you learn what to look for, ie properly pressed stainless steel folds and joints), its up there in quality with both German and American brands !

[@KG-yj6ou]

Thank you. This I the only normal video I could find. I think I got my dishwasher fixed

[@doreenrg]

Great - glad to hear it. I know, I looked on KZbin as well before hiring a guy and couldn’t find any other videos that seemed to cover what I was dealing with. So I’m glad to hear your feedback. Thanks.

[@siobhancapell]

I really appreciate this video. Thank you! You saved me getting a maintenance person to look at it.

[@doreenrg]

Good!! I’m so glad. Saving people from having to spend money to get this fixed is exactly why I made this video. It feels good knowing how to fix my own things too.

[@siobhancapell]

@@doreenrg it feels so good knowing how to fix things! Makes me feel so capable. Really appreciate you empowering others in this way. Go girl!

[@doreenrg]

@@siobhancapell You’re welcome. Thanks for letting me know it was helpful! 👍🏻

[@nancyhustis1600]

You are amazing!!!!! I just popped on to see if I could figure out what an F10 code meant. Stumbled upon your video and I'm going to try what you have suggested once I get back from work today!! Thank you SO much for creating this help.

[@narasingh2561]

did it work?

[@jessemantyh796]

Thanks! This wasn't my precise problem, but it was very helpful

[@doreenrg]

Glad it helped. Whenever my dishwasher throws any error codes now, I always clean out the things I went over in this video and after restarting my dishwasher a couple of times, the error code is gone and goes back to working great. Thanks for the feedback!

[@christiancelsing5019]

Hi, great, thank you. Saved me a lot of unnecessary dishwasher guy money. Another great tool is a small can of pressurized air. I used that to blow the intakes free from food residue. Just make sure to remove all excess water first!

[@doreenrg]

Nice!! Glad it helped you! And thanks for the extra idea 👍🏻

[@PeterChane]

This video changed my life. Thank you.

[@doreenrg]

Love it. Glad this video found you! 👍🏻

[@PeterChane]

If the drainage error problems persists it’s likely the dishwashers were not installed properly with the hose loop in the back.

[@doreenrg]

@@PeterChane Good to know! I’ll keep that in mind if it happens again. That was the first time it has happened to us in 3 years of use.

[@Hazzy238]

F11 - blocked filter. Cleaned as in your video. F10 can appear after F11 fixed. F10 indicates flooded lower internal floor of the machine , which was caused by the blocked filter. The flooding can be not visible ( as it's in the lower internal floor) and is only rectified by removing front lower panels ( F20 torque bit screws) and remove the water with a sponge or rag. F10 is a safety sensor warning of flooding which can be caused by a number of things.

[@WakizashiSabre]

10 error is about water not getting in, no? What you described should be error 30, I think.

[@fleurgoonan1437]

I had F10 error and did not have a blocked outlet hose. I pulled the machine out and leant it back on a 45 degreee angle and water poured out from somewhere. Problem fixed.

[@Hazzy238]

There is a trough in the bottom of the machine. It catches and holds overflow or spilt water. You've found an easy way to empty that trough. Why the water was there is another problem.@@fleurgoonan1437

[@Hazzy238]

F10 is saying the lower internal trough at the bottom of the machine is full of water.@@WakizashiSabre

[@j.marley8365]

a week before xmas...you saved me! it was that latter issue...the old chicken bone...how the hell that gets through all those filters is beyond me. Thanks so much.

[@doreenrg]

This makes me happy to hear. Thanks for letting me know. That’s exactly why I made this video…so people don’t have to pay money for something they can fix on their own. And, now you know for future dishwasher hiccups too!

[@betzed3358]

Thank you! I really appreciated your video, and saving me the Asko call-out fee! 🙌🏻

[@doreenrg]

Glad to hear it! You’re welcome. Since making this video I’ve also learned cleaning out that screen in the bottom of the dishwasher also resolves Error Code F12! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@eddyfurlong7862]

Thank you, Doreen.

[@jenneannorris]

Thank you so much. 🙏🏼 Totally fixed my F10 error code!!!

[@doreenrg]

Good!!!!! So glad to hear that.

[@Cuspsound]

Thank you very much! Really appreciated your video. I had to solve both of these things this afternoon, and it really helped. Cheers Ashley

[@doreenrg]

Great! Thanks! Glad you got it fixed!

[@robinrochacha6514]

Thank you for your video! We are looking into getting a new dishwasher and looking at the Asco as it matches our stove and ovens. Does it clean and dry well?

[@doreenrg]

It has treated us very well over the last 5 years. And, if you do the maintenance I’ve outlined in this video and my other video, it will cause you very little problems. We’ve liked it.

[@robinrochacha6514]

Thank you so much!!

[@E39Muscle]

This worked great! Thank you

[@doreenrg]

Love it. Thanks for letting me know. 👍🏻

[@erin7701]

Thank you! Fixed mine too!

[@shadiasaleh2363]

Thanks , will definitely try it

[@doreenrg]

You’re welcome. Definitely worth trying before hiring an appliance company to come and fix it. 👍🏻

[@thommybergstrom1800]

Thank you so much for your help!

[@doreenrg]

You're welcome!

[@HunterGertsch]

I needed this.

[@jamesparivechio5520]

i have seen other asko videos and no water is in theirs and has a yellow sump pump filter. ? are you sure that water is suppose to be in bottom ? i am having that issue now and that is what is the problem ?

[@doreenrg]

There shouldn’t be water above the screen area, for sure. When my dishwashers broke and I had to have an appliance guy come over I asked him if a little bit of water under the screen was normal. He said it was. Even when I start draining the water by starting a cycle (like i show in the video) it never totally drains that small amount of water under the screen. Occasionally after a cycle is finished I’ll find water pooled above the screen. When I press drain all of that water does go away above the screen. I think the times my dishwasher has water pooled above the screen is bc my kids likely opened the dishwasher when it wasn’t completely done and the dishes ended up drying completely so it looked like the cycle was done and dishes were clean. With the yellow sump pump you’re talking about I wonder if that is in newer models? All I know is that as I have diligently kept the screen cleaned out and that basket inside the screen cleaned out, I’ve had no issues. Knock on wood!!!!!!

[@StellanLarsson]

Thank you!!!

[@graemeozzie2251]

Thanks Doreen!! Hey ya had a nice chicken stock in the bottom of that dishwasher hope ya didn't throw it out! 😂

[@doreenrg]

Ha! Thank you. 😊

[@carlyeehman2109]

Thank you!

[@maryhartz8624]

Omg, I had washed a jar with a label on it and it was covering everything near the drain. Now that I have cleaned it, however, the error code won’t go away and it keeps pumping, e en after I in-lug it, and hit all the buttons.

[@doreenrg]

There’s an option to reset the error codes on the dishwasher. You just need to use the arrow buttons to scroll through and find that option.

[@swulff8778]

After I have added my rise aid it still shows it needs to have Rinse Aid added. The TEAR drop the image in the window. Any help??

[@Nate-ml3yw]

Do you know anything about overfilling water 2 F54?

[@doreenrg]

I want to say that I’ve had that issue before too. When my dishwasher was still under warranty though (so an appliance guy fixed it and it was covered). I would still try cleaning out the screen and making sure there are no pieces of food in that trap within the screen to make sure that’s not part of the problem. The reason I would recommend doing this is bc whenever my dishwasher starts acting funny I clean the screen filter at the bottom and make sure that’s all cleaned out and it usually gets over its problem. I plan on posting future fixes to this dishwasher as problems arise though.

[@davidrosenbloom6652]

Omg! She had to pay 150$! And she has TWO asko dishwashers. Let’s take up a go fund me for the poor lady!

[@sriramkhadka8402]

Thanks

[@doreenrg]

You're welcome :)

[@lukiejames]

To be honest it’s not a good idea to have the drain connection thinner or smaller then the drain hose otherwise yes it will clog. It would be like having the opening on a vacuum wide for items going up the hose and then the opening between the canister being half the size. It doesn’t make any sense.

[@j.marley8365]

yea but there are various filters...the connection is pretty much always smaller...just is.

[@lukiejames]

@@j.marley8365 Where it is an issue is if you have certain foods that expand in water. Such as Cous Cous or rice. Normally it creates blockages in the spigot that connects to the drain hose under the tap if the spigot hasn't been properly drilled out by the builder who installed the pipework. A filter does nothing for those food particles that are able to get to the bottom of the sump and be pumped out and block up. I work with appliances for my job and quite often when issues arise with drain errors this is the issue.. a building issue not an issue relating to the design of dishwashers

[@benjaminh4537]

Where did the rest of that toothbrush go

[@doreenrg]

I cut it in half. And threw the handle portion away. Is that what you’re wondering?

[@lindaraithel2181]

How to drain F12

[@peteholliday1927]

Where your sticking your toothbrush in that hole, your missing a filter piece that should block that entry that stops stuff getting in there…….
