Asko 1805 Frozen (by 4 users)

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.

This problem is often caused by poor drain pump action between cycles. If the pump has completely removed all water from one cycle and the next cycle adds more water then the dishwasher "floods" and triggers the overflow protection. I have found that 9 times out of 10 the problem is with build up or blockage where the drain pump connects to the sink drain. Keep this clean and your problem should disappear. The drain pump could be faulty but stick with the simple stuff first. Occasionally the drain hose may fall off the back of the machine loosing its loop and thus creating poor pumping action.

I hope this helps
