F2 means water is not leaving the dishwasher. Hose and filters, cancel, then call.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so F2 / F02 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
F2 is the inability to discharge water; the drain hose and filters may be clogged.
When the water stays put
A wash ends with the water leaving through the drain. F2 (printed F02 in places) is Bertazzoni’s flag that the machine is unable to discharge it.
What the fault table lists
No.
Entry
1
The hose for discharging water, and the filters, might be blocked
2
The program should be cancelled
3
Service is to be contacted should the error persist
Practical points
The hose in question is the ribbed line running from the dishwasher to the sink drain or garbage disposer.
Power the dishwasher down first. Tub water can be hot, and the sump may hold sharp pieces.
The table never says that cancelling empties the tub. Inspect it afterward and expect some standing water.
If it comes back
Clear whatever you can reach in the hose and filters, then run a program once more. A second F2 means calling service; the table lists no pump test and no further owner check.
