What F11 means

On ASKO W6444A and other W6 washers that share the same F10 to F12 error list, code F11 means the washer cannot drain its water. The program stops with water left in the drum. Many homes still use these older models, and we repair them. A blocked drain hose outlet, a clogged pump or a kinked hose is the usual cause.

Common causes of F11

Object stuck at the drain hose outlet
Drain pump blocked by lint or small items
Drain hose kinked or squeezed behind the washer
Pump or its wiring that no longer works

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check that nothing is stuck at the drain hose outlet. 2. Check that the drain pump is not blocked and the hose has no kinks. 3. Run the Drain program, or press the door-opening key to release the door. 4. If F11 returns, schedule service.

! Why to stop there

If the hose and pump are clear, we test the pump motor and its wiring with water in the drum
Because these W6 washers are older, we confirm that a pump is available before the repair
The price is written down before we repair anything, and a 30-day workmanship warranty backs the work

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.

F11F11 questions

My ASKO W6 washer will not drain and shows F11. Why?

It is a drainage error. The washer could not pump out the water, so the program stopped with water still in the drum.

How do I run the Drain program?

Use the Drain program on the washer's program selector, as the owner's manual describes. Place towels and a shallow pan nearby in case water spills when you open the door.

Will F11 damage my laundry?

Clothes can sit in dirty water, which smells and can stain. Drain the washer soon, and have the pump checked if F11 returns, so you do not lose another load.
