Our 10-year old Asko D1876 dishwasher leaks a little bit of water while operating. How do we fix it? Do we need to change any lining that may not be as good after 10 years?

Hi
You have water in the bottom pan.Turn off power Remove bothe front and rear lower panels and dry out pan with a towel after tipping water from pan. Turn on power and try operating the washer and look for water leak. It could be coming from a number of places. The repair will be what ever is the cause of the leak. F 2 = water in the pan. Hope this helps. Rgd Robocam

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

Based on your description and provided the dishwasher is indeed 1) an Asko D1876 and 2) not filling with water...It sounds like a faulty fill valve/water valve unfortunately.

First though, you can perform a diagnostic/fault trace program by following the steps below. You should hear the valve starting once the unit has started filling with water.

You'll need to be familiar with the control layout for the test to begin. This is how the buttons/display is identified in the diagnostic...




Now you can enter the fault trace by way of the following sequence....




Obviously based on the instructions if you push S3 the valve should open and allow water into the tub, this image below indicates the normal water level to look for when filling in the normal cycle NOT FAULT TRACING...Fault trace will fill until you stop it.




This unfortunately is common with Asko built dishwasher`s, but it can be fairly easily repaired with a little direction/know-how.

**First turn off the water and the power to the dishwasher...safety first**

You should only need to remove the toe panel/kick plate at the bottom and of course turn your water and power off, undo the water line at the valve,

i.e.





...remove the two torx screws ( large arrow ) and then the delivery hose at the back of the valve ( small arrow ) and install the new one.

The new valve is part # 8801351 and available at on-line parts depot "repairclinic.com" for about $170USD last time I looked.

Let me know what you find and I'll try and help you move forward from there...you may opt to call in a pro but that's up to you.

I'll watch for your reply.

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.

My husband unclogged the drainage pipe so the water level could go back to normal.

you may have water under the dishwaher ... have any plumbing work done lately?

if the dishwaher overflows or leaks it will trip a float switch under the dishwasher... as long as it is triped it will run the drain pump.. and not let any water into the tub...

the water will have to be removed and the leak stopped before it will run a cycle....

Hope this helps if not let me know more about your problem..

The F2 lights blink due to a water senser in the compartment where the motors are located. Remove the bottom kick panel and other covers to access this area of the unit. Unplug the unit before working in this area as wires are abundant. Check the pan to see if water is present. Dry out the pan with a towel and then maybe a hairdryer to clear the F2 alarm. The real questions is what caused the water to be there. Start a cycle and watch to see if there are any leaks on the inlet water line. If not, let the unit run and see when water enters the pan. If it enters during the washing cycle, a gasket leak is likely. If it enters during the drain cycle, perhaps a drain hose is leaking.

I'm not sure about that model, but on an older one, just under the drain area there is a piece os styrofoam attached to a switch. I guess if it rises it activates the circuit. Problem is if it drys it sticks, so push it down with your hand gently. This involves taking off that bottom kickplate area, but that's the only way in there.

If you're not getting enough water, your water inlet valve is most likely the culprit.

the dishwasher remembers how long the last wash took.was it intterupted? try using again, or the board could be faulty it should be about 2hrs 10 min approx.hope this helps
