Asko Oven Error Code ERR12

If your Asko oven is displaying the ERR12 error code, it indicates a malfunction in the steam generator. The steam generator is essential for your oven’s steam baking and moisture control functions, which enhance cooking results by improving texture and flavor. When ERR12 appears, it signals that the steam generator is failing and most likely needs replacement.

What Does the Steam Generator Do?

The steam generator creates and distributes steam during specific cooking processes such as steam baking and roasting. Proper functioning of this component is crucial for achieving the best performance and culinary results from your Asko oven.

Common Causes of ERR12 Error

Steam generator failure due to wear or damage
Obstructions or debris blocking the steam generator’s pathways
Insufficient water supply affecting steam production

How to Troubleshoot ERR12

Before calling a professional, you can try these simple troubleshooting steps:

Power Cycle Your Oven
Turn off the oven and unplug it for a few minutes. This may reset the control system and clear the error code.
Inspect for Obstructions
Check the steam generator area for debris or blockages. Consult your oven’s user manual for detailed instructions on accessing this part safely.
Verify Water Supply
Ensure the water reservoir is full and that the water supply is stable. Lack of water can cause the ERR12 code to appear.
