What F00 means on your Asko cooktop (asko cooktop f00)
F00 belongs to the F-series induction family used on the Asko HI1655M and related boards. The manual’s stated cause is a defective generator, meaning the electronics that convert incoming power into the induction field have failed internally rather than in response to something on the countertop. Unlike F0 through F6, this code is not tied to ambient conditions and does not clear itself by moving objects away from the hob. Asko’s own instruction for F00 is short: contact the service department. That phrasing signals a board-level problem, not a setting the owner can adjust.
Symptoms
What your Asko cooktop is doing should match the list below if this is genuinely the problem rather than one that only resembles it. The cooktop may present one symptom or many, sometimes over several cycles and sometimes right after a power cut, a heavy load, or a recent installation.
- The display shows F00 as soon as the hob is switched on, before any zone is selected.
- One or more induction zones stay completely dead even though the control panel lights up.
- The code returns immediately after a power cycle at the breaker.
- A faint burning or hot-electronics smell accompanies the problem on some units.
Common causes
It takes only one of the problems below to make your Asko cooktop behave this way, but they are listed likeliest-first for a reason. Following that order distinguishes a fast owner check on the cooktop from a problem requiring trained service and correct Asko parts.
- Failed induction generator board — the power electronics that drive the induction coil have broken down internally.
- Damaged power module — a component on the generator that regulates current to the coil has failed under load.
- Corroded or loose internal connector — moisture or vibration has degraded a board-to-board connection over years of use.
- Cooling fan failure on the generator — without proper airflow the board can overheat and trip into this problem state permanently.
Troubleshooting steps you can try
Run down this list on your Asko cooktop in order before arranging a visit, keeping the easy checks first. Any step on the cooktop that involves live voltage, gas, a hot cavity, standing water, or a sealed system is one to leave to an experienced technician.
- Turn the hob off and switch off power at the breaker for at least two minutes.
- Restore power and check whether F00 reappears without any zone being touched.
- Confirm the hob’s ventilation gap underneath the plate has not been blocked by a drawer liner or storage box.
- Do not attempt to open the generator housing yourself — it carries mains voltage even when the hob display is dark.
- Book a technician if F00 returns after the power cycle.
Parts a technician may replace
On your Asko cooktop, the diagnosis usually points a technician at the induction generator board, power module, and cooling fan for the generator to inspect, test, or replace. The right part is identified from the cooktop’s model, serial, and Art. No., and confirming the failed component before ordering keeps the cooktop repair to what the problem actually needs.
When to call a technician
A technician on-site tests generator output directly and checks the board’s internal fuses and IGBT modules before condemning the generator assembly. With a High-severity rating, the sensible move is to stop your Asko cooktop, book service without delay, and isolate the cooktop at its supply if anything about it looks, smells, or sounds unsafe. Your Asko cooktop is handled independently — we have no affiliation with Asko, Gorenje, or Hisense — by experienced technicians using genuine OEM or trusted-supplier parts, with 30 days of labor warranty on the cooktop. The Art. No., alongside the model and serial on your Asko cooktop, is what lets us order the right part for your cooktop before we arrive and put F00 right without unnecessary return trips.
