Quick answer
F13 — commonly associated with a temperature-sensor issue on a Bertazzoni washing machine. Meaning can vary by model; verify before relying on it.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so F13 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
