ASKO Dryer Error Code F10

F10 is an overflow fault related to the condensed water tank. The microswitch that monitors the tank detects a full or stuck-full condition, and if the switch remains open for more than 30 seconds, the dryer stops the cycle. This protects the machine and surrounding area from water overflow damage.

A reset may temporarily clear the F10 code, but the error will return if the underlying cause is not addressed. If the tank is genuinely full, emptying it before restarting should resolve the issue. If a stuck float, clogged hose, faulty pump, or defective microswitch is causing the fault, those components must be inspected and corrected for the error to stay cleared.

If the fix is simply emptying the condensed water tank or clearing a blocked hose, the repair costs nothing beyond your time. If a drainage pump replacement is needed, parts and labor can range from around $100 to $250 or more depending on your location and service rates. A faulty microswitch is generally a lower-cost repair, with parts and labor typically in the $75 to $150 range.

Start by emptying the condensed water tank completely, then restart the machine. If the error returns, check that the float inside the tank moves freely and is not stuck. Also inspect the drainage hoses for blockages or kinks, and verify that the drainage pump is operating correctly. If the float and hoses are clear but the fault persists, the microswitch or drainage pump may need testing and possible replacement.

The dryer is designed to stop the cycle when F10 is triggered, which is a protective measure. You should not attempt to bypass or ignore the fault, as a genuine overflow condition could result in water damage to the machine or surrounding cabinetry and flooring. Address the cause of the error before resuming normal use.
