Still there?

It usually turns into fill and water valve repair. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

F12 is not the same as F40: with F12 too little water arrives, with F40 water arrives when it should not.

Questions
about F12.

Can I clear F12 myself?
Open the water supply valve fully. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Can low house water pressure trigger Asko F12?
Yes, pressure is part of the check. Asko sets a working range of 4.2 to 140 psi, so a supply far below that can leave the machine short of water.
How do I clear F12 on my Asko once the valve is open?
Press any button to dismiss the message and start the wash again. If the valve is fully open and F12 still appears, book a visit rather than repeating the restart.

Back to your everyday

Still showing F12?

Book with the characters exactly as shown, the full model number, and whether any water is on the floor — for a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
