Dishwasher displays F6; may stop early in the cycle or not start washing at all.

Safety: Disconnect power and close the water supply. Be cautious of sharp metal edges when removing panels.

• Check for water in base: Remove the lower front kick panel. Use a flashlight to inspect the base pan. If water is present, carefully sponge or towel it out. Slightly tilt the dishwasher forward to drain trapped water.
• Inspect float switch: Locate the float or anti-flood switch in the base. Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck in the raised position. Clean any debris or scale around it.
• Look for leaks: While the base is open, inspect hoses, the sump, and the circulation pump for signs of leakage that could have filled the base pan.
• Check pressure/overflow hose: If your Asko model uses a pressure hose to sense overflow, verify it is not kinked or blocked. Gently blow through it (disconnected) to clear any obstruction.
• Test again: After drying the base and freeing the float, restore power and run a short cycle while monitoring for leaks. If F6 returns without visible water in the base, the float switch or level sensor may be defective and should be replaced.
