Asko Oven Error Code ERR12

If your Asko oven is displaying the dreaded ERR12 code, it points to a steam generator malfunction. The steam generator plays a crucial role in ensuring your oven operates at its best, particularly in functions involving moisture control and enhanced cooking results. When faced with ERR12, it signifies that the steam generator needs attention, and a replacement is in order.

The steam generator in your Asko oven is responsible for creating and distributing steam during certain cooking processes. This includes functions like steam baking or roasting, contributing to the texture and flavor of your culinary creations. When ERR12 appears on the display, it’s a signal that the steam generator is no longer functioning optimally and requires replacement.

While a steam generator replacement may sound like a task best left to professionals, there are some preliminary steps you can take if you’re inclined toward a DIY approach:

Power Cycle the Oven: Turn off the oven and unplug it for a few minutes. This simple power cycle may sometimes reset the system and eliminate the error code. Plug the oven back in and see if ERR12 persists.
Check for Obstructions: Ensure that there are no obstructions in the steam generator’s pathway. Debris or blockages can hinder its proper functioning. If possible, refer to your oven’s user manual for guidance on accessing and inspecting the steam generator.
Verify Water Supply: Confirm that the oven has a steady and adequate water supply for the steam generator. Insufficient water levels can trigger ERR12. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for checking and maintaining the water supply.

ERR12 is a clear indication that your Asko oven’s steam generator needs replacement. While initial troubleshooting steps can be taken, a professional touch ensures a thorough and lasting solution.
