Asko is a premium Scandinavian brand known for compact, stainless, and water‑efficient dishwashers, and robust washers/dryers suited to urban apartments. Precision sensors and tightly packaged components make performance excellent—but also mean that scale, debris, or minor leaks can trigger protective shutdowns. This guide lists frequent Asko faults, error indicators (including common F‑series faults), technical notes, safe DIY steps, and when to involve a technician.

Technical Details
Asko integrates fine mesh filtration, precise NTC sensors, electronic pressure monitoring, and leak pan switches. Dishwasher circulation pumps may include integrated heaters; scale reduces efficiency and can trip thermal limits. Washer motor control monitors tach feedback; missing pulses raise F06/F12. Drain pumps run on timed windows; blockages surface as F04/F11. Pan leak switches protect cabinetry and trigger immediate shutdown (F08). Technicians validate heater resistance (tens of ohms), pump winding continuity, and pressure sensor transitions while applying controlled fill/empty routines.
Quick Fixes
DW not draining: clean coarse/fine filters; inspect sump and check valve; confirm high loop/air gap; remove disposal knockout.Low wash temps: descale with manufacturer‑approved cleaner; verify heater continuity and wash program settings.Washer won’t spin: redistribute load; clean pump filter; verify door is latched; run rinse/spin test.Dryer overheating: clean lint screen and condenser (on condenser models); vacuum vent path; ensure airflow.Prevention: softener/descaler use in hard‑water zones, correct detergent dosing, quarterly filter maintenance.
Repair vs Replace
Repair is typically preferred: pumps, locks, gaskets, fans, and many sensors are replaceable and restore like‑new function. Consider replacement for advanced corrosion, repeated board failures, or sealed‑system refrigerator issues (if applicable).
