Further on to this F3 problem I had the issue on model W6461. There is a short cut to the fix, instead of taking off the grey pipe from the drain pump (the hose clips are pre crimped in the factory so as stated above are difficult to remove) try this.
Stages as follows:
1) Open drain pump door (bottom left of machine).
2) Remove black pipe and drain residual water.
3) Unscrew coin trap and remove, use a container to hold the water.
4) Leave the container underneath and make sure you have some towels ready (I didn't at the time)
5) Where the washing machine drain hose connects to the outlet or U bend connector remove this and expose the end.
6) Blow into the drain hose as hard as possible......hopefully the blockage will clear through back the coin trap.
Result:
A large lump of sludge, three of my 5 year olds small counter coins and about a litre of water.
Just ran the machine now and fault cleared.
Good luck

Our Asko W660 Quattro 1600 unit would not drain. We emptied the PIN trap on our Asko unit and still it would not drain. We finally figured out that the L-Shaped grey colored that comes out of the pump (at the very bottom of the machine) was clogged with two dimes.
The annoying thing with Asko is that they use clamps that cannot be removed and put back on. They have to be removed with a combination of a flat screwdriver and a wire cutter. So you MUST have a spare clamp to secure the L-Shaped grey hose on the top of the pump after you clean it out.
Also, make sure you wear gloves when taking the top cover off the machine (you shouldn't have to, but we were trying to figure out how it all worked). The edges are razor sharp. Thanks, ASKO!!

F3 problem, I had the issue on model W6461, however, judging by the amount of F3 issues posted this could work on other ASKO models
If the coin trap in the drain is clear of debris, try this.
Stages as follows:
1) Open drain pump door (bottom left of machine).
2) Remove black pipe and drain residual water.
3) Unscrew coin trap and remove, use a container to hold the water.
4) Leave the container underneath and make sure you have some towels ready (I didn't at the time)
5) Where the washing machine drain hose connects to the outlet in the wall or U bend connector remove this and expose the end.
6) Blow into the drain hose as hard as possible......hopefully the blockage will clear back through the coin trap.
7) Pour some water into the open end and blow this back through the drain as well.
Result:
A large lump of sludge, three of my 5 year olds small counter coins and about a litre of water (all over the floor, don't forget the towels!)
Just ran the machine now and fault cleared.
Good luck

SOURCE: water draining makes loud noises
if water isn't draining properly the cycle will stop thereon check the drain pipe
SOURCE: Asko W6461 - will not drain
is the pump comming on look inside the pump with a tourch there may be somthing stuck behind the impeller
SOURCE: I have an Asko 10505
front right corner the pin trap turns to the left and pulls out it may be stuck pull hard.also check the yellow impellor to see if it is loose
SOURCE: asko 10625 will not spin
it is probably the belt, take off the back of the machine and look at the black rubber belt that spins the cleaning drum. The belts break after about 5 years, you can get a replacement belt at you local Asko dealer, I recall that is was pretty easy to change, like doing a bike chain, Talk to you Asko dealer about how to change it.
