The overflow capture plate is flooded. Basically, any overflow falls to the bottom of the unit to protect the floor. There's a foam floater attached to a lever which floats up and triggers a switch sending F2 error. Best to open bottom front skirt and sponge up any water still in the spill sump, or remove back panel to better access the water and sponge it up. F2 error message vanishes once float drops and machine starts working correctly again. Remember to fix cause of flooding, which is usually are blocked sink drain pipe. This blockage causes sink water to flow into the machine instead of down the drain.

Zanussi tempoline not working, son twisted nob mid cycle it then stopped and wouldn't drain. Now not doing anything! Any ideas? I assume its a error code flashing up

The first step of a dishwasher is a drain / rinse drain. I would turn the dishwasher off at the socket, turn the nob to the off position only turn this in a clock wise direction IE: the direction the nob would naturally move. Turn on back at the wall and start as you would normally. The dishwasher will empty the water out in its first step then should cycle through as normal.

ASKO D1976 model. We have a F2 error message. Water has now been drained but we are unable to remove error code or have dishwasher return to normal cycle

Display shows an error code. Do the following:

1. Unplug washer or disconnect power for one minute.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
3. Re-select the cycle and press Start.

NOTE: If the error remains on the display, call for service.

It has been flashing an F2 error code and the timer starts at 65 then switches to "1" which stays on during the cycle. Now it will run for about a minute then stops completely. Can you suggest any parts...

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.


The "F2" for Asko dishwashers indicates either the unit is overfilling, or the valve itself has failed.

The problem is likely the fill valve, based on your description... "It has been flashing an F2 error code and the timer starts at 65 then switches to "1" which stays on during the cycle. Now it will run for about a minute then stops completely".

Depending on the series of dishwasher you have, determined by serial number ( I don`t mean the model... I got it is a 1895 ) because those Asko machines had a revision to their valves moving from a dual solenoid to a single, the single substituting all dual coil valve units.

i.e.


f98cb6d.jpg

The original Asko number would be # 8057508 and available at most brick & mortar parts vendors or on- line places such as "repairclinic.com".

** turn off the breaker at the service panel before servicing the unit...safety first**

To check the valve will require the removal of the lower panel/kick plate or also referred to as a toe panel, and with the aid of an ohm meter and at least one wire removed from each/the coil, measure the ohm value of the coil.

The valve will be on your right...

i.e.

451817e.jpg
It should not read infinite, but rather 0 to 93Kohms.

That should move you forward and hopefully solve the problem. Let me know if anything is not clear or if you require further assistance.

Thank you for choosing FixYa and good luck.

** If you have any reservation or are not completely confident servicing this unit please call in an authorized Asko technician **

These can be very difficult to service for one inexperienced, I see so-called pros mess them up all too often.

Regards,


Macmarkus :)

F2 error message after dishwasher backed up when draining. Asko brand.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Error F2 in your Asko Dishwasher means high water level. This error occurs due to plugged/bad water pump and/or a bad inlet valve. If the water pump and/or water inlet valve are bad it should be replaced to resolve this issue. Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

Asko 20605 washer stopped mid-cycle, now no power?!

The ECU should be tested. Look for the service manual inside the chassis for troubleshooting procedures.

Asko d1876

I'm not sure about that model, but on an older one, just under the drain area there is a piece os styrofoam attached to a switch. I guess if it rises it activates the circuit. Problem is if it drys it sticks, so push it down with your hand gently. This involves taking off that bottom kickplate area, but that's the only way in there.
