ASKO's own manual gives a single, direct fix for this alert: check that the water supply valve is on. It also states a required pressure range for the machine to operate at all, which a newly connected supply line can fall outside of if a valve was left partly closed. ASKO appliance display · also shown as F67 What to do when F12 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 Water Hammer After a Hookup: Banging Pipes When a Valve Shuts Water hammer after a hookup is a bang, knock or shudder in the pipes each time a newly connected appliance closes its water valve. ### 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); ASKO also documents a related F67 alert tied to the same pressure range. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from ASKO's own guidance for F12 on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Locate the water supply valve behind the cabinet and confirm it is turned fully open. 02 Check that the supply line isn't kinked or pinched where it enters the cabinet space. 03 Confirm the home's water pressure falls within ASKO's stated range of roughly 4 to 140 psi. 04 If the valve is open and the pressure is normal, 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 F12 does not mean the inlet valve inside the machine has failed on its own. ASKO's own fix starts at the supply valve behind the cabinet, not inside the appliance. ## What you may notice with it. The appliance problems F12 tends to arrive with.

Locate the water supply valve behind the cabinet and confirm it is turned fully open. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### The water supply valve is open — why is F12 still showing on a new dish care machine? ASKO's own manual also ties this alert to the water pressure being outside its required range, so a fully open valve on a low-pressure supply can still trigger it. ### What minimum and maximum water pressure does ASKO require for its dish care machines? ASKO's own documentation gives a range of roughly 4.2 to 140 psi (0.03 to 1.0 MPa); anything below that minimum can produce this alert even with the valve fully open. ### Is F67 a different problem from F12? ASKO documents F67 as closely related to F12, both tied to the water inlet and the pressure range, rather than as a separate category of alert. --- **[Read on the site: Asko F12: water inlet on a dish care machine](https://applianceinstallation.center/error-codes/asko-f12/)** **[Book a visit with ApplianceInstallation.center](https://applianceinstallation.center/schedule/)**
