Asko E06: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Washing Machine; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
An issue with the main drive motor has been detected. This could be a problem with the motor's tacho, carbon brushes (if applicable), or the motor control board.
Check the motor's wiring connections. Inspect carbon brushes for wear. Test the tacho coil for continuity. The motor or motor control board may need replacement.
Asko E6: Operational cycle fault detected during Hob / Cooktop program execution.
Faulty communication between the hob's user interface control and the power module for a specific cooking zone.
Perform a hard reset by turning off power at the breaker for 10 minutes. If the error returns, it indicates a component failure requiring a technician.
Asko E8: Operational cycle fault detected during Refrigerator / Freezer program execution.
The sensor within the ice maker assembly is defective.
The ice maker assembly will likely need to be inspected and potentially replaced by a service technician.
Asko F1: Water/air heating failure in Tumble Dryer; heating circuit does not reach set temperature.
The dryer's heating element is not working, or the thermostats have tripped.
Check the thermal cut-outs (thermostats) on the heater housing for continuity; reset if possible. Test the heating element itself. Clean all lint filters and check for blocked ventilation.
Temperature Sensor (NTC) Error
The temperature sensor is providing an out-of-range reading, indicating it is faulty.
Locate the NTC sensor near the heater assembly. Check its wiring and test its resistance. Replace the sensor if the reading is incorrect.
Asko F3: Operational cycle fault detected during Tumble Dryer program execution.
The moisture sensing strips inside the drum are not detecting clothes correctly, possibly due to residue buildup or a wiring issue.
Clean the metal moisture sensing strips inside the drum with white vinegar or rubbing alcohol to remove fabric softener residue. Check wiring connections to the sensors.
Drain Pump Fault (Condenser Models)
For condenser or heat pump dryers, the water pump that removes condensed water to the reservoir or drain is blocked or has failed.
Access the pump and check for blockages. Ensure the drain hose is clear. Test the pump motor for operation.
Asko F5: Operational cycle fault detected during Dishwasher program execution.
The control board is not detecting the rotation of the spray arms. This can be caused by a blockage preventing rotation or a faulty sensor.
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely and are not blocked by dishes. Clean the spray arm jets. Inspect the sensor and its wiring.
Asko F6: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Oven / Microwave; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
The motorized door lock is unable to engage or disengage correctly. It may be jammed or the motor has failed.
Check for any obstructions around the door lock mechanism. Cycle power to the oven. The lock assembly may need to be replaced.
Asko F7: Operational cycle fault detected during Dishwasher program execution.
The water turbidity (soil level) sensor is faulty or has become excessively soiled, providing incorrect data to the control board.
Locate and carefully clean the turbidity sensor lens. Check wiring. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, the sensor may need to be replaced.
Asko F8: Motor drive or inverter rotation anomaly in Oven / Microwave; drum/motor fails to spin at target RPM.
