SOURCE: Asko 1555 Dishwasher will not

It might be the pump, or it might be an obstruction elsewhere. If you have an air gap on your sink/counter top, open it and check for debris. If it is clear, unscrew the main filter basket. There is a black plug on the left side of the bottom well and you can pull it out after removing the filter basket. Feel around for any obstruction, and see if it is clear. Pull out anything that is blocking it, and make sure that you can spin the impeller freely with your fingers.

I had an impeller break on me. It costs about $30 for the part, and is easy to replace if you are handy. Just remember to unscrew by turning clockwise. If the motor itself is bad, it's about a $75 part and about the same amount of work as changing the impeller.

SOURCE: Overfill Protection tripped on ASKO D3112 dishwasher

remove the front toe kick. you should have 6 torx screws. four in the top 2 in the front. your float switch will be in the front center .the float is a piece of styrofoam - the float many times is what you find jammed up making the unit believe it has water in the base

SOURCE: how do i remove the access panel behind the kick

at the front top of the kick plate facing up toward the ceiling you should see phillips screws or 1/4 inch hex head screws. im not positive on this model. if there are no screws there you will have to pull it out from the counter. open the door and remove 2 screws from the underside of the counter first. PLEASE always shut circuit breaker off before any repairs

SOURCE: dishwasher was washing I opened door to add dishes

Hi, Thank's for your reply. If I where in your position I too would certainly weigh the comparison of repairing versus replacing however, if you are capable this one is worth inspecting. I would start by checking the breaker ( insure there's power to the unit ) door switch, insure the latch is making contact with the switch plunger,(tiny pin that actuates the door micro-switch) the wiring, etc. The timer being the least likely, so we'll cross that bridge if & when necessary. If you are not comfortable with the "do it yourself" idea, again you'll have to decide if the unit is in otherwise good enough condition to justify calling in a pro. If so I'd also suggest an authorized Asko servicer as these aren't like most other dishwasher's and I personally have witnessed many mis-diagnosis due to ignorance or un-familiararity, I don't know. I don't want to see you get "took" for unnecessary repair cost's. Let me know if I can assist you further and I'll watch for your replay again, keep me posted. Good luck. Macmarkus :)

Hello,
The float switch is the small square Styrofoam piece in the front of the base pan. You can watch a video that explains about what which part is at the link below.

Pump continually running with F2 displayed.

There is water in the lower pan that you must access by removing the toe kick plate and then the panel behind it. you will see water in the overflow area. Clean that out and all will be well. Asko's are awesome dishwashers that capture any water they may overflow or leak internally instead of it going on your floor, then a float switch triggers the F2 error and runs the drain pump.

Asko D1996. 2 wet spots on floor in front of unit, (~1/2 cup). It continued to run, but the inside bottom of the machine was dirty, as though it slowly drained its wash water. Dishes mostly clean..

If you can open the panel and allow the panel to dried then tested to confirm before the panel is removed.
Use a hair dryer or a good air jet to remove all moisture from the panel and see if this works.

Top drawer

Hello, Welcome to FixYa. Based on the info you provided it's likely a pretty easy fix. The machine is leaning forward slightly and it shouldn't be. Remove the top screws fastening the machine to the counter...if applicable, some are on the side if granite counters or similar exist etc. Then take off the lower kickplate/access panel and screw the front leveling legs down ( which will cause the tilting of the machine back slightly ) and screw the back legs up, hence the rack should no longer slide out on it's own. There are also locking nuts for the legs so make sure you loosen amd re-tighten them in the process. Let me know how you make out. The most difficult part will likely be the removal and replacement of the toe panel/kickplate. Good luck, Macmarkus :)

My ASKO D3100 dishwasher has no hot water

Hi there,


Well the heating element in the dishwasher might be faulty or not working properly. To check the heating element - Locate your dishwasher's heating element. Open the dishwasher door and look into the tub. It is the thin, circular tube at the base of your dishwasher. It may or may not be covered. If it is covered, remove the lower dishrack, and then remove the cover. 

Your heating element is going to have two metal terminals. One at each end. Each terminal reaches downwards, into the base of the dishwasher. Mentally mark the area where each terminal enters the base of the tub.
Now you need to gain access to the heating element's wiring. You can do this by first removing the lower kickplate panel of the dishwasher. There will be at least two screws (but maybe four) holding the kickplate panel in place. They are located either on the top or the bottom of the panel. If the screws are located on the top, you may need to open the dishwasher door in order to gain access to them. Close the door to remove the panel, though. 

Now look into the lower access area that you have just uncovered. Pinpoint the area where the heating element terminals extend through the base of the dishwasher. They will each have a wire connected to it. Label each of the wires so that you will be able to properly reconnect them later. Now you can pull the wires off the terminals.
Each wire is connected to a terminal using a slip-on connector. Grasp the connector and pull on it firmly. 
DO NOT pull on the wire itself. Pull only from the connector. You may decide you need to use a pair of needle nosed pliers to help you. you need a multimeter to check the heating element....... post comments for more help or information......

Good Luck!!

How can we get to the base pan in our asko d3350 dishwasher? we are getting f2 code= empty base pan due to an overfill.

if this is an under counter unit you will need to remove the unit to gain access to the sides where you may be able to drain that base pan. some of these fancy things require you to remove the side panels to get to that pesky base pan..
hope this helps,
best of luck,

Our Asko D3112 was not draining, so we had maintenance drain the hoses to clear any blockage but it did nothing. They said it must be our pump not working. I ran one more cycle to see if things went back...

Check your manual to see if you have a drain pan at the bottom of the unit, and a 'float' that checks for water collecting there. On at least some Asko models, water collecting in the pan causes the float to rise, which then changes the operation of the dishwasher. Once that float switch turns on, the diskwasher will always run the drain pump whenever power is applied.
If this is the case for your machine, remove the kick panel. There likely is another panel behind that which covers the 'internals', including the drain pan area. You'll have to remove all of the water in the pan, and that will lower the float and return the controller to normal operation. THen you will have to diagnose the cause of the water collecting in the pan.
Another possibility is damage to the float such that it has turned on it's switch despite no water collecting in the drain pan. I've heard that in some cases a mouse will chew on the float and damage it, causing such machine operation.
In another thread, I posted my solutions to one cause of water collecting in the drain pan. In that case the drain pump was no longer reliably moving water out of the sump area inside the dishwasher. I had thought it was the manual dial control on my d1706 unit, until I learned that the dishwasher has this 'special' drain pan mode.

Kitchen aid refrigerator superba

hi there,

the drain pan is under the fridge behind the kickplate. the kickplate is the vent-line panel located under the door. it's held on by 2 screws. unscrew the screw and remove the kickplate. the drain pan will slide out. careful, as it's probably pretty full.

Asko D1706

I also had this problem. Support person couldn't tell me if the pump was supposed to run even when setting the control knob to 'off' (bar before (1)). After draining the pan, the control knob functioned normally. So apparently any power to the unit will run the pump when the overflow pan is filled, no matter the position of the knob.

Asko 1805 - all idnicator lamps blinking

Searched some more on this site and found the following from a guest (thanks). It solved my problem, the base where all the electrics and plumbing is located had a pool of water. I had to pull the unit out as I could not access this area from the front.

This is a common problem with the Asko1805. The machine is equipped with overfill protection. Water has leaked through to the bottom pan and has triggered the overflow shutoff float. You must get the water out of the bottom of the dishwasher. Unscrew the kickplate and the metal cover to access the bottom of the machine where the pumps and motors reside. Use a sponge to slop up the water in the pan. Blow dry the bottom. The machine will reset itself as soon as the water is gone.
