When to Call a Professional
Contact an Asko technician if the F14 error persists after refilling salt and resetting water hardness, if the salt container cap is damaged or won't seal properly, or if you notice water leaking from the salt container area.Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I refill the salt in my Asko dishwasher?
Typically every 4-6 weeks depending on water hardness and usage frequency. Your dishwasher will display the F14 error when salt levels are low.
Can I use regular table salt instead of dishwasher salt?
No, never use table salt. Only use dishwasher salt (sodium chloride) specifically designed for dishwashers, as table salt contains additives that can damage the water softener system.
What happens if I ignore the F14 error code?
Your dishes may have water spots, the dishwasher won't clean effectively, and mineral buildup can damage internal components over time. Always refill salt promptly.
Why does my Asko dishwasher need salt?
Salt helps the built-in water softener remove minerals from hard water, preventing spots on dishes and protecting internal components from mineral buildup.
