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.

What to do when F11 shows on the appliance

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. 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.

Where F11 usually leads

Water supply and shutoff connection.

New supply line and quarter-turn stop for a refrigerator, ice maker, dish care machine or laundry pair, flushed and tested under pressure · low.

In ASKO's own words

Check that the drain pump is not blocked. Also check that the drain hose is fitted in accordance with the installation instructions.

Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. 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.

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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing F11?

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
