Asko D3121 Dishwasher - won't dry dishes

Either the heating element, the hi-limit thermostat that governs the element, or the control has failed... Asko Dishwasher High Limit Thermostat 8001543, Asko Dishwasher Heating Element 8073785 Asko , Dishwasher Main Control Board 8801286

Either there is some error with the pump or the switching valve that switch the wahing water between the upper and the lower rotating water ejecting dishwasher arm. There is no longer water enough in the dishwasher to turn on both dishwasher arms at the same time. Had the same problem with a ASKO DW20.3. At the moment the ASKO is disassambled to change the motor driven valve. Kind regards. Henning

Hi,

The scum, film and white residue problems have started since the reduction of phosphates in dishwasher detergents.

Here is a tip that will help you to solve the problem of films, residue, and scum in your dishwasher.

I would check the voltages around the heater before replacing it. Sometimes the thermal overload relay opens out and shuts off the power. Could be a more simpler to replace than the whole heater.

put it out from the source. check the pump to see if there is anything wrong with it. you can change the pump if there is a damage on it.

I had tried several failed attempts to fix this problem. Finally I got on my knees and asked God to make the dishwasher run in Christ's name. The dishwasher just completed it's first cycle without any problems.

check the float switch ... it is under the dishwasher it could be stuck in the up postioin or you can have water under the dishwasher..
Hope it helps....If NOT let me know more about your problem ... I will Help

In my case, the problem was with the control card, located behind the control buttons on the front. The relay driving 120V, 10A to the heaters had one pin dissoldered, probably because of heating. It was dark around the pin. See the picture attached. The top part showd the PCB with the faulty pin marked by a red arrow; the bottom part shows the other side of the PCB with the relay itself.

Remember that this relay/pin drived 1400 W.

I found the electrical drawings here:

first if the pump is running and you can hear it washing it should clean now hot water cleans dishes not the washer the hotter the better at least 130-135 degrees modern dish washers use less water than older models so if you don't get the water as hot as you can stand it at the sink before you turn the washer on you can fill it with cold water second its important that you use jet dry and if your dishes aren't dry at the end of the cycle then on most washers you can turn the disp up for more hope that helps let me know
