10

Water Inlet Fault

Severity

High

When a Asko Dishwasher shows 10 on its display, the internal diagnostic system has flagged a condition known as "Water Inlet Fault". Most repairs for this code are straightforward and can be completed at home.

Owner's Summary

Your Asko dishwasher cannot fill with water. The tap and inlet screen are the free first checks. Asko machines require adequate water pressure — at least 15 PSI — so check your home pressure if the tap is fully open.

Symptoms

Asko dishwasher not filling, fault code 10, machine stops at cycle start

Common Causes

Water supply tap closed
Inlet hose kinked or filter blocked
Defective inlet valve
Low household water pressure

How to Fix

1 Open water supply tap fully
2 Clean inlet hose mesh filter
3 Test inlet valve solenoid resistance
4 Check household water pressure
5 Replace inlet valve if all checks fail

Tools You'll Need

Multimeter Pliers Soft Brush Towels / Bucket

Most of these fixes need only basic hand tools. If your repair requires opening electrical housings or testing live components, a multimeter and basic electrical safety knowledge are essential — when in doubt, call a technician.

Technical Explanation

Code 10 on Asko indicates the water level sensor did not confirm fill progress within the programmed timeout. Asko's control module monitors fill rate rather than just final level — slow filling from low pressure or partial blockage can trigger code 10 even with the valve working correctly.

Is It Safe to Keep Using?

No risk to the appliance. Resolve within a few days.

Technician's Pro Tip

Asko dishwashers have a more sensitive flow detection system than most brands. The inlet valve filter screens are very fine and clog quickly in hard water areas. Clean them monthly if you have hard water.
