Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from ASKO's own guidance for F56 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

On the DBI776 and DBI786, try any program once more.

02

Book a visit if F56 shows again; for the DBI675 Asko goes straight to service.

Still there?

It usually turns into wash motor and circulation. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

F56 is not a drain pump code; drain pump trouble on these models shows as F11 or F68.

Questions
about F56.

Can I clear F56 myself?
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.
