ASKO Dishwasher Code F68: Brushless Drain Pump Not Responding to the Control

Medium · inspection needed

Code: F68
Appliance: Dishwasher
Brand: ASKO
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What F68 means

F68 names the drain pump on an ASKO dishwasher with the F-code display, for example the DBI564IS.U, DBI564TS.U or DBI564PS.U, or a DFI or DSD. The pump is a brushless DC motor that sends used water out through the drain hose. If the control finds it blocked, stuck or silent, the program ends and F68 is shown. Water usually remains in the bottom of the tub.

Common causes of F68

Something wedged inside the pump housing
A motor that no longer turns
A broken wire or loose plug at the pump
The board that sends the pump its drive signal

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Clear the message by pressing any button. 2. Unblock the drain pump as shown in the owner's manual. 3. Follow the hose under the sink and straighten any bend. 4. If the code returns, stop using the dishwasher and contact a service center.

! Why to stop there

Whether something is simply stuck in the pump or the motor has given out
Whether the drive signal from the control is correct
Which pump fits your model, confirmed before we order it

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F68F68 questions

What makes a brushless pump different?

It has no brushes to wear down, but it needs a signal from the control to turn. When the pump or the signal fails, the water stays in the tub and F68 appears.

How is this different from F11?

F11 says water is not leaving the tub. F68 points to the pump motor as the part in trouble. The two can look alike from your kitchen, so we check the pump and the drain path together.

How is the repair priced?
