Does anyone have an Asko dishwasher model 1776 type dw953 for sale or are getting rid of

Many times the date of manufacture is on the nameplate! (Or stamped nearby). Otherwise search google for the make and model.

The thing that immediately comes to mind is a faulty door switch or latch. The door switch can be replaced and you might be ok. But the latch would be more tricky to check. Sometimes if dishwasher is not level or if the door springs are misalinged the door tends to slip and release the latch due to pressure. It works when you open and shut. But not sure about the night time cycle. That sounds a bit creepy if it starts again by itself. Why not put a tape around the door and then start. That will help eliminate the obvious ones. The other thing that exends dishwasher cycle time is the lack of adequate water temperature. Could be heater or thermostat or both.

The drain time is programmable. If your manual doesn't show how to do it, you can possibly go to retrevo.com and find a similar one. I happen to have a model 1776 and used the model 1755 manual which is identical.

follow the drain hose to dishwasher it is attached to pump

The only way is to pull out the dishwasher ,unhook the latch and then unscrew the door panel.your dishwasher is installed with 2 screws to the underside of your countertop. its tricky but youll have to remove them adjust to leveling legs down this will give you more room to get some head bit in ther to remove the screws if its out then slide the d/w foward ,remove the strike plate door will open then you can get your dishes out first

the door latch is faulty or needs to be rolled open

you cant ajust the temp its thermostat control,if you want it to dry at end of cycle use rinse aid and open the door at end of cycle to let the steam out.you only have a 55 or 65 wash button on right side next to timer knob.

open up the underside of the dishwasher and check the 2 terminals that connect to the heater element. Sometimes they burn off and it is a quick repair to just put a new terminal on the end. Also make sure the water going into the dishwasher is hot, as that can cause this problem too. Hope this helps
