ASKO Washer Error Code F29

F29 on an Asko washer means the high-pressure filter needs to be cleaned. The washer detected restricted water flow through the HP filter during operation and paused to alert you. This is a maintenance code that typically requires filter cleaning rather than a parts replacement.

It is not recommended to continue running the washer while the F29 code is active. A blocked HP filter restricts water flow, which can strain the drain pump and potentially cause water to back up inside the machine. Addressing the filter cleaning promptly protects both the appliance and prevents possible water damage.

If the fix only requires cleaning the HP filter, the cost is essentially zero beyond your time. If the filter is damaged and needs replacement, filter components typically range from $10 to $40 depending on the model. If a drain pump or pressure sensor replacement is needed, repair costs including parts and labor can range from $100 to $300 or more.

Start by locating the HP filter, usually behind the lower front access panel of the machine. Remove the filter, clean it thoroughly under running water to remove all lint and debris, inspect the housing for any lodged objects, then reinstall the filter securely. If the code returns after cleaning, inspect the drain pump for blockages or check the pressure sensor circuit.

A reset may temporarily clear the F29 display, but the code will return if the underlying cause, which is a dirty or obstructed HP filter, is not resolved. The error is triggered by a real physical condition, so the filter must be cleaned and reseated before the machine will operate normally without re-triggering the alert.
