# Asko dishwasher showing F40

F40 means the inlet valve is letting water through when it should be closed.

## What F40 actually means.

F40 means the inlet valve is letting water through when it should be closed. Asko treats it as a service call.

ASKO dishwasher display

What to do when F40 shows on the dishwasher

### Kind of code Water supply

Not enough water arrived, or it arrived too slowly. The supply valve under the sink and the inlet screen are checked before the fill valve itself.

### Usually leads to Fill and water valve repair

A dishwasher that will not fill, fills too little, or keeps filling, traced through the valve, the float and the supply.

### Shows up as Dishwasher Not Filling With Water

The cycle starts and hums, but little or no water comes into the tub.

## Questions about F40.

### Can I clear F40 myself?

Turn off the water supply valve to the dishwasher right away. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Is it safe to keep running my Asko while F40 is showing?

No; F40 reports an inlet valve that lets water pass while it should be shut. Close the dishwasher's supply valve and leave it closed until the valve has been serviced.

### Will Asko F40 go away on its own?

Asko gives no owner fix for F40 beyond shutting the water and calling service. Treat it as a repair, not a message to wait out.
