On the DBI776 and DBI786, try any program once more. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Is Asko F56 a drain pump problem? No, F56 names the circulation pump, the one that drives water through the spray arms. Drain trouble on these Asko models appears as F11 or F68. ### Should I try another program when my Asko shows F56? On the DBI776 and DBI786 Asko allows one more program as a test. On the DBI675 the manual skips that and sends F56 directly to service. --- **[Read on the site: Asko dishwasher showing F56 | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/asko-f56/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
