Quick answer
F10 · a drainage issue · Bertazzoni dishwasher — independent summary for homeowners.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so F10 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
On many Bertazzoni dishwasher models, F10 is commonly tied to a possible water-drainage problem. Series and control generations differ — confirm the wording in your model documentation before acting. Two Bertazzoni units can share a display string yet mean different subsystems; verify for your serial family.
Signs
Symptoms you may notice
The dishwasher stops mid-cycle and shows F10
Water is left standing in the dishwasher
Draining seems slow, noisy or incomplete
Why it happens
Possible causes
A blocked or dirty filter (on models that have one)

A restricted drain pump or drain path
Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Check and clean the accessible filter if your model has one
Check the visible drain hose for kinks or blockages
Confirm the drain or standpipe access is clear
Photograph the display and rating label so an independent tech can match the code to your model

Not necessarily. Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and years. Record your full model number so Bertazzoni Appliance Repair can interpret F10 correctly.
No. Bertazzoni Appliance Repair publishes independent repair guidance for homeowners. Use your Bertazzoni model manual for manufacturer wording, then book an independent technician if the fault continues.
