Gorenje dishwasher F11 error
ErrorF11
Gorenje uses F11 for a water-outlet fault. Check the accessible filters, pump area, and visible drain path with power isolated before service.
What the code means
The dishwasher cannot discharge water correctly
Unplug the dishwasher before removing filters or reaching into the pump area. Scoop out water carefully and wear gloves for sharp debris.
Typical symptoms
01F11 appears during draining
02Water remains in the dishwasher tub
03The cycle stops before the drain stage completes
Likely causes
Start with the least invasive explanation and stop if the check requires internal electrical or sealed-system access.
01A blocked coarse or fine filter
02A drain-pump or pump-cover obstruction
03A kinked or restricted drain hose or sink connection
Safe next steps
- 1Confirm F11 and isolate dishwasher power
- 2Close the water tap before moving or disconnecting any hose
- 3Remove and clean the coarse and fine filters
- 4Inspect the pump cover and impeller, then check the visible drain hose and sink connection
- 5Refit all parts and run one drain test; contact service if F11 persists
Step-by-step repair
- 1Clear only accessible filter, pump-cover, hose, or sink restrictions described by the Gorenje manual. A clear drain path with recurring F11 needs qualified diagnosis rather than a pump order.

▣Spare parts
A damaged hose or seal needs exact-model confirmation. F11 does not by itself prove a drain pump or control failure.
