# Asko F11: drain hose fit on a dish care machine

ASKO's own manual ties this alert to the coarse and fine filters, a blocked drain pump, and specifically whether the drain hose was fitted in accordance with the installation instructions.

## What F11 actually means.

ASKO's own manual ties this alert to the coarse and fine filters, a blocked drain pump, and specifically whether the drain hose was fitted in accordance with the installation instructions. That last point ties the alert directly to the hookup rather than to a part that wears out.

ASKO appliance display · also shown as F68

What to do when F11 shows on the appliance

### Kind of code Water supply and drain

The new appliance is reporting what it gets from the water connections behind it. A no-water or slow-fill message on the first fill usually means the supply valve is still closed or only half open, or the new line kinked when the unit slid back; a drain message means the drain hose is pinched, pushed too deep into the standpipe, or looped higher or lower than the installation instructions allow. Open the valve fully, straighten the hose, set it to the height the manual gives, and run the cycle again.

### Usually leads to Water supply and shutoff connection

New supply lines from a working quarter-turn stop to each water appliance, tested under pressure.

### Shows up as Drain Backing Up After an Install: Plug, Loop and Standpipe

A drain backing up after an install leaves water standing in a new machine, pushes it into the sink or spills it over the top of the standpipe.

### Make ASKO

ASKO installs mean a compact Scandinavian dish care machine or laundry pair, set level and stacked with the maker's own kit where space is short.

### Source ASKO US dishwasher instructions for use, document 875097en

Confirmed in ASKO's US dishwasher instructions for use and installation manual (document 875097en); a related BLDC drain pump alert, F68, is documented in the same table.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from ASKO's own guidance for F11 on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Clean the coarse and fine filters inside the machine, following ASKO's own care instructions.

02

Run any dishwashing program to see whether the alert clears once the filters are clean.

03

Check the drain hose against ASKO's own installation instructions for its height and routing, since the manual names this directly as a cause.

04

If the filters are clean and the hose is correctly fitted, book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [water supply and shutoff connection](https://applianceinstallation.center/services/water-supply-and-shutoff-connection/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

F11 does not automatically mean the drain pump has failed. ASKO's own manual lists a misfitted drain hose ahead of a pump problem, so the hookup is checked first.

## Questions about F11.

### Can I clear F11 myself?

Clean the coarse and fine filters inside the machine, following ASKO's own care instructions. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### I cleaned the filters and F11 is still showing. What's left to check?

ASKO's own manual specifically names the drain hose fitting as a separate cause from the filters, so the hose's height and routing should be checked against the installation instructions next.

### Is F68 the same alert as F11?

ASKO documents F68 as a related BLDC drain pump alert in the same troubleshooting table, sharing the drain hose fitting as one of its causes.

### Can a wrongly fitted drain hose really cause an alert instead of just a slow drain?

Yes — ASKO's own manual treats an incorrectly fitted drain hose as a direct, documented cause of this alert, not just a performance issue.
