F1 means the fan that moves cold air through the cooling compartment is malfunctioning. Unlike the sensor codes, there is no safe mode to fall back on: Asko says the appliance cannot operate normally. ASKO refrigerator display What to do when F1 shows on the refrigerator ### Kind of code Fan circuit A fan the control board expected to be turning is not — a motor that has failed, or ice holding the blade still. ### Usually leads to Fan and airflow repair Two fans, two completely different failures — one stops the cold arriving, the other stops the heat leaving. ### Shows up as Refrigerator Not Cooling The compartment is warm but the appliance still has power and still makes noise. ### Make ASKO Scandinavian integrated refrigeration, mostly behind furniture panels. ### Source Asko Instructions for use, models RBR276SND1 / RBR2764DND1 / RBR2767DND1 / RBR276DND1, troubleshooting table (PDF on the Gorenje Group document server) Asko RBR276SND1, RBR2764DND1, RBR2767DND1 and RBR276DND1 (one Instructions for use covers all four). On the RFN23841 and R23841 a fan problem shows as a flashing light rather than letters. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from ASKO's own guidance for F1 on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Move the food somewhere cold, such as another refrigerator or a cooler with ice, as the manual instructs. 02 Switch the appliance off once it is empty. 03 Book a visit for the compartment fan and leave the unit off until then. ### Still there? It usually turns into [fan and airflow repair](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/services/fan-and-airflow-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do F1 is not a message you can wait out. Without that fan the compartment cannot hold its temperature, which is why the manual says to empty the unit and turn it off. ## What you may notice with it.

Move the food somewhere cold, such as another refrigerator or a cooler with ice, as the manual instructs. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can I leave my Asko running while F1 is on the display? Asko says the appliance cannot work normally with this code, and its manual tells you to empty the unit and switch it off. There is no safe mode for a fan failure the way there is for a sensor. ### Which fan does F1 refer to on an Asko RBR276? F1 is the fan that circulates cold air inside the cooling compartment. The fan out at the condenser has its own code, F2. --- **[Read on the site: Asko refrigerator showing F1 | RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/asko-f1/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
