Asko Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser Cover

Inspect the dispenser cover for damage. If the dispenser cover is broken, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Control Board

The control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. If there is a problem with the control board, it might not send voltage to the detergent dispenser, preventing the dispenser from opening. However, this is not likely the case. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—make sure you check more commonly defective parts before replacing the control board

Asko Dishwasher Detergent Container

Inspect the dishwasher detergent container for damage. If the detergent container is broken or damaged, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Dispenser Lid

Inspect the lid for damage. If the dispenser lid is broken or damaged, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Dispenser

If you don’t want to disassemble the dispenser to replace a part, you can replace the entire dispenser. Additionally, if the dispenser isn’t working and the entire dispenser is worn out, replace the dispenser.

Asko Dishwasher Bi-Metal

The bi-metal actuator is a metal loop which acts as a latch for the dispenser door. As electricity is applied to the bi-metal, it deforms and bends away from the latch, releasing it. If the bi-metal is burned out, it won’t release the dispenser door. To determine if the bi-metal has burned out, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the bi-metal does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, make sure that the dishwasher is getting enough water. If the water level is too low, the wash motor may not draw enough current through the bimetal, causing the bimetal not to bend enough to work properly.

Asko Dishwasher Dispenser Slide

If the dispenser slide is damaged, the dispenser won’t open or close properly. If the slide is broken or damaged, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly

The dishwasher’s pump and motor assembly circulates the water through the wash arms during the wash and rinse cycles. If the pump and motor assembly is defective, the wash cycle may be interrupted and the dispenser will not be activated to release the detergent. In this case, the pump and motor assembly will need to be replaced.

Improper loading

There needs to be adequate space between the dishes and the dispenser. Inadquate space can prevent the dispenser door from opening or prevent water from mixing with the detergent. If a large item is placed in front of the dispenser the detergent will not get rinsed out properly. Leave some space between the dishes and don’t place large plates or pans in front of the dispenser.

Asko Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

A dishwasher’s water inlet valve opens following a short drain cycle to fill the tank with water in preparation for the wash cycle. If the inlet valve is faulty and the tank does not fill, the wash cycle may be interrupted and the dispenser will not be activated to release the detergent. In this case, the water inlet valve will need to be replaced.

Asko Dishwasher Main Control Board

The main control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. If there is a problem with the main control board, it might not send voltage to the detergent dispenser, preventing the dispenser from opening. However, this is not likely the case. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—make sure you check more commonly defective parts before replacing the main control board.

Asko Dishwasher Faulty Door Latch

Asko Dishwasher Door Hinge

If the door hinges are damaged, the door won’t be able to latch properly. Inspect the door hinges for damage. If a hinge is bent or broken, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Door Seal

A dishwasher door having trouble latching could be caused by a damaged or misaligned door seak. Confirm the seal is fully seated in its track and replace if necessary.

Asko Dishwasher Door Spring

A dishwasher door spring is attached to a cable to prevent the door from dropping down when opened and to allow the door to be more easily closed and latched. If the door feels heavy when opened or falls quickly, a broken door spring or cable is likely the cause. If the damaged component is not replaced, the strain on the door hinge can lead to hinge failure which can result in the door not latching properly. It is recommended to replace both door springs at the same time to reduce uneven wear.

Asko Dishwasher Door Latch

Inspect the door latch assembly for damage. If the door latch is broken, replace it. The door latch is not repairable—if it is broken, you must replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Door Cable

A dishwasher door cable is attached to a spring to prevent the door from dropping down when opened and to allow the door to be more easily closed and latched. If the door feels heavy when opened or falls quickly, a broken door cable or spring is likely the cause. If the damaged component is not replaced, the strain on the door hinge can lead to hinge failure which can result in the door not latching properly. It is recommended to replace both door cables at the same time to reduce uneven wear.

Asko Dishwasher Door Strike

Inspect the door strike assembly for damage. If the door strike is broken, replace it. The door strike is not repairable—if it is broken, you must replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Door Gasket

A dishwasher door having trouble latching could be caused by a damaged or misaligned door gasket. Confirm the gasket is fully seated in its track and replace if necessary.

Asko Dishwasher Failure to Start

Asko Dishwasher Thermal Fuse

The thermal fuse shuts off power to the dishwasher if it overheats. If the thermal fuse blows, it will prevent the dishwasher from starting. To determine if the thermal fuse is defective, use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the thermal fuse does not have continuity, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Door Switch

The door switch prevents the dishwasher from running while the door is open. If the door switch is defective, the switch will prevent the dishwasher from running even when the door is closed. To determine if the door switch is at fault, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Wire Harness

If the dishwasher start button appears to work, but the dishwasher still won’t start, a wire harness which sends power from the control board to the pump components could be damaged. Inspect the wire harness for any frayed or broken wires and replace if necessary.

Asko Dishwasher Door Latch

The door latch ensures that the dishwasher door latches shut. If the door does not latch properly, the door switch might prevent the dishwasher from running. If the door latch is broken, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Main Control Board

The main control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. If there is a problem with the main control board, it might not send voltage to the dishwasher, causing the dishwasher not to start. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—make sure you check more commonly defective parts before replacing the main control board.

Asko Dishwasher Drain Pump

A dishwasher drain pump assists in removing the water from the tank at various times during operation. Since the unit will drain some water from the tank prior to the fill cycle beginning, a faulty drain pump unable to drain any water could prevent the dishwasher from starting.

Asko Dishwasher Touchpad and Control Panel

To determine if the touchpad is at fault, try pressing various buttons on the touchpad. If some of the buttons don’t respond, the touchpad might be defective. (Some manufacturers sell the touchpad separately from the control panel. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the touchpad and control panel together. If you cannot replace the touchpad individually, replace the touchpad and control panel.)

Asko Dishwasher Touchpad

To determine if the touchpad is at fault, try pressing various buttons on the touchpad. If some of the buttons don’t respond, the touchpad might be defective. If the touchpad isn’t working properly, replace it. (Some manufacturers sell the touchpad separately from the control panel. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the touchpad and control panel together. If you cannot replace the touchpad individually, replace the touchpad and control panel.)

Incoming Power Problem

If there are no indicator lights or any noise from the dishwasher when it is turned on, it is likely that power is not reaching the dishwasher. Check the circuit breakers and GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlets, if applicable, to confirm they have not tripped, or inspect any fuses to confirm none have blown. Since most dishwashers are hardwired (not plugged in) the junction box on the dishwasher should be checked for loose or burnt wires.

Asko Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly

A defective dishwasher pump and motor assembly may prevent the appliance from starting. Make sure that power is getting to the circulation pump and motor. If power is getting to the pump and motor assembly but it still won’t run, replace the pump and motor assembly.

Asko Dishwasher Control Board

A dishwasher’s control board provides power to nearly every electrical component in the dishwasher. A faulty board may be unable to supply power to the electrical components or respond to the touchpad buttons being pressed, which can prevent dishwasher from starting.

Asko Dishwasher Timer

The timer allows power to flow to the proper parts at the proper times. If the timer isn’t working properly, it might not send voltage to the dishwasher, causing it not to start. Timers are often misdiagnosed—make sure you check more commonly defective parts before replacing the timer.

Asko Dishwasher Circulation Pump

A defective dishwasher circulation pump may prevent the appliance from starting. Make sure that power is getting to the circulation pump and motor. If power is getting to the circulation pump but it still won’t run, replace the component.

Asko Dishwasher User Control and Display Board

A dishwasher’s user control and display board allows the user to select a wash and drying cycle and start the appliance. If the start button won’t work, it’s likely the user control and display board is malfunctioning and will need to be replaced with a new one.

Asko Dishwasher Unusual Noises

Asko Dishwasher Drain Pump

First, check the drain pump to ensure that it is clear of debris. If the drain pump is clean but it is still noisy, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Circulation Pump

The circulation pump motor has bearings that wear out over time. When the motor bearings fail, they generate a continuous drone. If the motor bearings have failed, you must replace the entire circulation pump.

Asko Dishwasher Drain Impeller

The drain impeller pushes water through the drain hose and into the garbage disposer or drain line. If the impeller is broken, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly

Part of the pump and motor assembly (such as the motor bearings, drain impeller, or wash impeller) might be defective. Often, you can replace the pump’s individual parts. However, if you do not want to disassemble the pump to replace its parts, or if the parts are not available separately, you can replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

Asko Dishwasher Wash Impeller

The wash impeller is a small plastic blade that forces water through the spray arms. If one or more of the impeller blades is broken, the dishwasher will make noise. In addition, if the impeller is damaged, warped, or bent, it can scape against the pump housing. Inspect the wash impeller for damage. If the wash impeller is damaged, replace it. On most models, you can replace the wash impeller independently of the pump and motor assembly. Search for your model number to determine if your impeller is replaceable. If the impeller cannot be replaced separately, you will have to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

Asko Dishwasher Circulation and Drain Pump Motor

The circulation pump motor has bearings that wear out over time. When the motor bearings fail, they generate a continuous drone. If the motor bearings have failed, replace the motor or replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

Obstructed wash arm

There are several wash arms in a dishwasher, typically one for each rack. If a handle or untensil is sticking through one of the racks the wash arm may be hitting it as it turns. Or there may be an item that is too tall and obstructing the upper wash arm. Confirm that nothing is obstructing the upper or lower wash arms.

Asko Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. When it is new, the water inlet valve is very quiet during operation. Over time, the diaphragm inside the valve deteriorates and deforms. This deformation interacts with the water rushing in and can produce a loud vibration, buzzing, squealing, or other noises. If the dishwasher is loud during the filling cycle, replacing the water inlet valve may solve the problem.

Asko Dishwasher Circulation Pump Motor

If the noise is happening only during the wash cycle, it’s quite likely a worn out circulation pump motor is the cause. The circulation pump motor has an impeller and bearings that can wear out over time. When the motor bearings fail, they generate a continuous drone. If the impeller is broken or damaged, it will produce a grinding noise. If either the bearings or impeller are damaged, you must replace the entire circulation pump.

Asko Dishwasher Inadequate Cleaning

Asko Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the valve is clogged or defective, the dishwasher won’t get enough water to clean dishes properly. If the water inlet valve is clogged, replace it. Do not attempt to clean the water inlet valve—cleaning the valve could make it more likely to fail.

Improper loading

Improper loading will keep the water from cleaning the dishes. Make sure you are leaving enough space between the dishes.

Improper water supply temperature

The water may not be hot enough. The recommended water supply temperature for a dishwasher to clean properly is 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If your hot water temperature is lower for safety reasons, try using a longer cycle that heats the water.

Asko Dishwasher Center Wash Arm Assembly

The center wash arm circulates water to the dishes in the upper rack. If water can’t flow properly through the center wash arm, the dishes in the upper rack won’t be cleaned properly. Over time, food particles can get trapped in the tiny holes in the wash arm. If your dishes are coming out dirty, the wash arm might be clogged. To unclog the center wash arm, remove the wash arm and dislodge any debris from the holes. If the wash arm is extremely clogged, replace it. In addition, make sure that the center wash arm assembly is mating properly with the water supply nozzle.

Asko Dishwasher Lower Wash Arm Assembly

The lower wash arm circulates water to the dishes in the lower rack. If water can’t flow properly through the lower wash arm, the dishes in the lower rack won’t be cleaned properly. Over time, food particles can get trapped in the tiny holes in the wash arm. If your dishes are coming out dirty, the wash arm might be clogged. To unclog the lower wash arm, remove the wash arm and dislodge any debris from the holes. If the wash arm is extremely clogged, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Lower Wash Arm

A dishwasher’s lower wash arm will spray water upwards as it rotates to clean the dishware during the wash and rinse cycles. If the wash arm is clogged with debris or damaged, the water won’t be able to jet upwards and the dishware won’t be cleaned effectively.

Asko Dishwasher Upper Wash Arm Assembly

The upper wash arm circulates water to the dishes in the upper rack. If water can’t flow properly through the upper wash arm, the dishes in the upper rack won’t be cleaned properly. Over time, food particles get trapped in the tiny holes in the wash arm. If your dishes are coming out dirty, the wash arm might be clogged. To unclog the upper wash arm, remove the wash arm and dislodge any debris from the holes. If the wash arm is extremely clogged, replace it.

Clogged Sump Filters

There is usually a course and fine filter. If they are clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. To clean filters, remove them and wash with soap, warm water, and brush. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

Clogged Wash or Spray Arms?

If the dishwasher is not cleaning well, the holes in the wash or spray arms may be clogged with debris, not allowing water to spray out or the arm to turn. Most wash arms are removable for cleaning. You can clear out the holes with a paper clip or small brush and run water through the wash arm to help clear out the debris.

Asko Dishwasher Heating Element

Some dishwashers use a heating element to heat the dishwasher during both the washing and drying cycles. If the heating element has failed, the dishwasher may not clean the dishes properly. To determine if the heating element has burned out, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the heating element does not have continuity, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Control Board

A dishwasher’s control board provides power to nearly every electrical component in the dishwasher. A faulty board may be unable to supply power to the water inlet valve, preventing it from opening and allowing the necessary water to fill the tank.

Asko Dishwasher Circulation Pump

The circulation pump uses a motor and impeller to force water up through the wash arms. If the circulation pump is defective, the dishes won’t be cleaned properly. If the motor isn’t making any noise or is just making a humming sound after the dishwasher has filled, the motor may be burned out. First, ensure that power is getting to the motor. Second, to ensure that the impeller can turn, check the pump housing for debris. If power is getting to the motor and the pump is clear of debris, the motor might need to be replaced. Be aware that the circulation pump may be challenging to replace, although many do-it-yourselfers have been successful with the replacement.

Asko Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly

The motor drives an impeller to force water up through the wash arms. If the motor is defective, the pump impeller is broken, or some part of the pump is clogged, dishes won’t be cleaned properly. Make sure that power is getting to the circulation pump and motor. If power is getting to the pump and motor assembly but it still won’t run, replace the pump and motor assembly.

Asko Dishwasher Wash Impeller

The wash impeller is a small plastic blade that forces water up through the wash arms. If the impeller is broken or is missing some of its fins, it might not generate enough pressure to force the water up through the wash arms. On most models, you can replace the wash impeller independently of the pump and motor assembly. Search for your model number to determine if your impeller is replaceable. If the impeller cannot be replaced separately, you will have to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

Asko Dishwasher Main Control Board

A dishwasher’s main control board provides power to nearly every electrical component in the dishwasher. A faulty board may be unable to supply power to the water inlet valve, preventing it from opening and allowing the necessary water to fill the tank.

Asko Dishwasher Circulation and Drain Pump Motor

Too much detergent

Too much detergent with soft water will cause oversudsing and poor cleaning results. Adjust the amount of detergent being used to the water hardness and the cycle you choose. Always use fresh detergent.

Asko Dishwasher Upper Wash Arm Spinner

Asko Dishwasher Filter Assembly

A dishwasher’s filter assembly usually consists of both a course and a fine filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

Asko Dishwasher Screen Filter

A dishwasher will usually have both a course and a fine screen filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

Asko Dishwasher Strainer

Dishwashers will use a strainer located in the sump to catch food particles. If the strainer is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the stainer cannot be cleaned effectively or is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

Asko Dishwasher Poor Drainage

Clogged Sump Filters

Asko Dishwasher Drain Pump

The drain pump uses an impeller to force water through the drain hose. If the drain pump motor is not working, the dishwasher won’t drain. To determine if the drain pump is defective, check the pump motor for continuity using a multimeter. If the motor does not have continuity, or if is getting power but won’t run, replace the drain pump. Drain pumps are not repairable—if the drain pump is defective, you must replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Control Board

A dishwasher’s control board provides power to nearly every electrical component in the dishwasher. A faulty board may be unable to supply power to the drain pump, preventing it from drawing the water out of the tank and forcing it through the drain hose to the garbage disposal or sink drain pipe.

Asko Dishwasher Drain Impeller

The drain impeller pushes water through the drain hose and into the garbage disposer or drain line. If the impeller is broken, replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Drain Solenoid Kit

The drain solenoid opens the drain valve to allow the water to exit the dishwasher. If the drain solenoid fails the valve will not open causing the dishwasher not to drain.

Asko Dishwasher Drain Valve

Over time, the drain valve can get clogged with debris. To ensure that water can flow through the drain valve, clean out the valve. If the drain valve is clear of debris but it still won’t actuate, replace it. Drain valves are not repairable—if the drain valve is defective, you must replace it.

Asko Dishwasher Main Control Board

A dishwasher’s main control board provides power to nearly every electrical component in the dishwasher. A faulty board may be unable to supply power to the drain pump, preventing it from drawing the water out of the tank and forcing it through the drain hose to the garbage disposal or sink drain pipe.

Asko Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly

The motor drives an impeller to force water out of the drain hose. If the motor runs during the drain cycle, check for a blockage in the drain line. If the motor won’t run during the drain cycle or if it just hums when it should be running, the pump and motor assembly might need to be replaced.

Clogged or Improperly Installed Garbage Disposer

If the garbage disposer was installed recently, the drain plug may not have been removed. All garbage disposers are sold with a solid plug in the drain tube. If the dishwasher is not connected to the garbage disposer, the plug must remain in the drain tube. However, if the dishwasher is connected to the garbage disposer, the plug must be removed. If the garbage disposer wasn’t replaced recently, it is possible that the disposer is clogged. Remove the dishwasher drain hose from the disposer and clean out both the fitting on the disposer and the end of the drain hose. These are the most common places to find an obstruction if the dishwasher won’t drain.

Asko Dishwasher Drain Hose

The drain hose might be clogged. To unclog the drain hose, remove the drain hose from both the dishwasher and the sink drain and clean it out. The drain hose is most commonly clogged near the garbage disposer or dishwasher drain branch tailpiece.

Asko Dishwasher Check Valve

The check valve prevents water from returning to the dishwasher after it has drained. If the valve gets stuck closed, it will prevent the water from draining. If the check valve is stuck closed, try cleaning it out and then replace it if necessary.

Asko Dishwasher Check Ball

The check ball is a small plastic ball in the check valve that prevents water from returning to the dishwasher after the dishwasher has drained. If the check ball gets stuck, it will prevent water from draining through the check valve. If the check ball is stuck, try to free it.

Asko Dishwasher Filter Assembly

A dishwasher’s filter assembly usually consists of both a course and a fine filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, the appliance will probably not drain properly. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

Dishwashers will use a strainer located in the sump to catch food particles. If the strainer is clogged, the appliance will probably not drain properly. If the stainer cannot be cleaned effectively or is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

Asko Dishwasher Leaking

01 – Asko Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the water inlet valve is stuck open, the dishwasher will continue to fill with water until the dishwasher leaks or overflows. If the water inlet valve is at fault, replace it. Water inlet valves are not repairable—if the valve is defective, you must replace it.

02 – Asko Dishwasher Center Wash Arm Assembly

If the wash arm is cracked, it can allow a jet of water to spray toward the door seal, causing a leak. Remove the wash arm and inspect it for cracks. If the wash arm is cracked, replace it. Do not attempt to seal the crack with glue—the glue will break down in the dishwasher. If the wash arm is intact, make sure the screws in the wash arm support are tight. If the wash arm support is loose, water can spray out between the wash arm support and the lower pump housing, causing waves. These waves can cause water to leak out of the bottom of the door.

03 – Asko Dishwasher Lower Wash Arm Assembly

If the wash arm is cracked, it can force water to spray directly toward the lower part of the dishwasher door. The water can then be forced under the door and onto the floor, causing a leak. Remove the wash arm and inspect it for cracks. If the wash arm is cracked, replace it. Do not attempt to seal the crack with glue—the glue will break down in the dishwasher. If the wash arm is intact, make sure the screws in the wash arm support are tight.

If the wash arm is intact, make sure the screws in the wash arm support are tight. If the wash arm support is loose, water can spray out between the wash arm support and the lower pump housing, causing waves. These waves can cause water to leak out of the bottom of the door.

05 – Asko Dishwasher Door Seal

Look for tears, gaps or cuts in the seal that could cause a dishwasher door leak. To determine if the door seal is making good contact, try closing the dishwasher door on a dollar bill all the way around the door. If the dollar bill does not stick, there is a gap in the seal. If the door seal has any gaps or leaks, replace it. If the door seal is working properly but the dishwasher is still leaking, check the door hinges. If the hinges are bent, the door will not close properly, creating a gap between the door seal and the dishwasher. If the hinges are bent, replace them.

06 – Asko Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser

A dishwasher detergent dispenser releases detergent into the tank during the wash cycle. Some dispensers with a rotating cover, or a latch, have an O-ring or seal that can wear out and allow water to leak inbetween the door panels and onto the floor near the bottom of the door.

07 – Asko Dishwasher Door Gasket

Look for tears, gaps or cuts in the gasket that could cause a dishwasher door leak. To determine if the door gasket is making good contact, try closing the dishwasher door on a dollar bill all the way around the door. If the dollar bill does not stick, there is a gap in the gasket. If the door gasket has any gaps or leaks, replace it. If the door gasket is working properly but the dishwasher is still leaking, check the door hinges. If the hinges are bent, the door will not close properly, creating a gap between the door gasket and the dishwasher. If the hinges are bent, replace them.

08 – Wrong type or incorrect amount of detergent

Make sure to use the proper dishwasher detergent. Use the proper amount of detergent for your water hardness; too much soap in soft water can cause oversudsing and leaking.

09 – Asko Dishwasher Drain Pump

A dishwasher drain pump assists in removing the water from the tank during the drain cycles by using an impeller to force or push the water through a drain hose to the garbage disposal or a sink drain pipe. If the drain pump is cracked or damaged, the dishwasher can leak water behind the lower panel beneath the dishwasher tank.

10 – Asko Dishwasher Drain Hose

A dishwasher leak behind the lower access panel could be caused by damaged drain hose. Confirm the hose is secured to the drain pump outlet port and check for any cracks or holes in the hose itself. Replace a damaged drain hose with a new one.

11 – Asko Dishwasher Sump

Most dishwashers have a large bowl, or sump, which collects the water that enters the pump. The sump is lined with a rubber seal that prevents water from leaking between the sump and the dishwasher tub. If the sump seal is worn out, the sump will leak water. If the sump seal is leaking water, replace it. In addition, on some dishwashers, a lock ring secures the sump to the bottom of the tub. If the lock ring is cracked or damaged, replace it.

12 – Asko Dishwasher Circulation Pump

A dishwasher circulation pump circulates the water through the spray arms to wash the dishware. If the pump is cracked or damaged, or a seal is worn out, the dishwasher can leak water behind the lower access panel.

Asko Dishwasher Error Code L7

Asko Dishwasher Error Code L7

If your Asko dishwasher is displaying the L7 error code, it signals an issue related to the door. The L7 error specifically indicates a problem with the door being either open or not securely closed. Here’s a detailed breakdown of this error:

1. Door Status Check:

The first step in troubleshooting the L7 error is to inspect the door of your Asko dishwasher. Ensure that it is completely closed and latched securely. Sometimes, a simple adjustment to the door’s position can resolve the issue.

2. Door Seal Examination:

Examine the door seal for any visible damage or wear. A compromised door seal might lead to improper closure, triggering the L7 error. If you identify any issues with the seal, it may need replacement to maintain the dishwasher’s optimal functionality.

3. Sensor Verification:

The L7 error can also be triggered if the door sensor is malfunctioning. Check for any debris or obstructions around the sensor area. Cleaning the sensor and its surroundings may eliminate the error code.

4. Resetting the Dishwasher:

In some instances, a temporary glitch in the system might be causing the L7 error. Try resetting the dishwasher by turning it off, waiting for a few minutes, and then turning it back on. This simple reset can resolve minor electronic issues.

If the error persists after performing the above steps, it is advisable to seek professional assistance. Certified technicians, like those at Appliance Repair Los Angeles, possess the expertise to diagnose and address complex issues with Asko dishwashers. They can assess the door mechanism, replace faulty components, and ensure your dishwasher operates smoothly.

Asko Dishwasher Error Code L6

The L6 error code on your Asko dishwasher signifies an issue with the rinse aid system. Rinse aid is a crucial component in the dishwashing process, ensuring your dishes emerge spotless and free from streaks. When the dishwasher detects a problem with the rinse aid system, it promptly displays the L6 error code, signaling the need for attention.

Possible Causes:

Empty Rinse Aid Reservoir: The most straightforward explanation for an L6 error is an empty rinse aid reservoir. Ensure that the reservoir is adequately filled to facilitate the proper dispensing of rinse aid during the wash cycle.
Rinse Aid Dispenser Malfunction: A malfunction in the rinse aid dispenser or its components can trigger the L6 error. This may include issues with the dispenser door not opening, hindering the flow of rinse aid into the dishwasher.

Troubleshooting the L6 Error:

Refill Rinse Aid Reservoir: Start by checking the rinse aid reservoir and replenishing it if necessary. Adequate rinse aid levels are essential for achieving optimal wash results.
Inspect Dispenser Components: Carefully examine the rinse aid dispenser, ensuring that it opens correctly during the wash cycle. Clean any residue or debris that may be obstructing the dispenser’s functionality.

If the L6 error persists despite your troubleshooting efforts, it may be indicative of a more complex issue within the rinse aid system. In such cases, it is advisable to seek the expertise of professionals, such as Appliance Repair Los Angeles.
