Why are my Asko D5436XL Dishwasher dishes not clean?
- A
  Allison WilsonAug 18, 2025
  Several factors can cause your Asko Dishwasher to not clean dishes properly. The spray arms might be blocked, preventing rotation, so remove and clean them. Ensure dishes aren't blocking the spray arms. Expired detergent can also be the culprit; avoid buying large packages. Use the correct detergent dosage based on your water hardness, and select a higher temperature program if the current one is too weak. Load dishes properly, avoiding covering them with bowls or placing tall glasses in corners. Secure dishes to prevent them from toppling, and ensure the filter is correctly fitted.

What to do if my Asko D5436XL does not start?

  Spencer ChenAug 20, 2025
  If your Asko Dishwasher isn't starting, several things could be the cause. Make sure you press and hold the Start/Stop button until the display flashes three times. Check that the door is fully closed and that a fuse or circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the dishwasher is plugged into the power outlet and the water supply valve is open. Also, check for any overflow or leaks. If you hear a continuous whirring sound (drain pump), turn off the water supply valve, unplug the dishwasher, and call customer support. Finally, ensure the Delayed start option is not active.

  If your Asko Dishwasher leaves dishes not dry enough, try these solutions. Activate the Long dry option. Make sure the dishwasher is fully loaded. Check the rinse aid level and increase the dosage if it's too low, consulting the 'Before washing for the first time' and 'Settings' sections. After the program finishes, try opening the door slightly to aid drying.

What to do if water remains in my Asko Dishwasher after cycle?

  If water remains in your Asko Dishwasher above the filters, it could be due to a blocked drain hose. Detach the hose and check for any clogs. Also, ensure the cone-shaped part of the drain boot is correctly cut. Inspect the drain hose for kinks or sharp bends. Clean the coarse and fine filters. Finally, check for debris in the drain pump.

Why are there spots or films on my Asko D5436XL dishes?

  Robert DunnAug 28, 2025
  Spots or films on dishes washed in your Asko Dishwasher can be due to an incorrect rinse aid dosage. Refer to the 'Before washing for the first time' and 'Settings' sections to adjust the rinse aid setting. Also, washing crystal at too high a temperature or using too much detergent can cause etching. Try washing crystal at a lower temperature with less detergent, and consider contacting the detergent manufacturer for advice.

Why does my Asko Dishwasher leave a sticky white/blue film on dishes?
- M
  Michael RobinsonAug 30, 2025
  A sticky white or blue film on dishes from your Asko Dishwasher indicates that the rinse aid dosage is too high. Reduce the amount, referring to the 'Before washing for the first time' and 'Settings' sections. If you have very soft water, consider diluting the rinse aid 50:50 with water.

How to prevent spots on stainless steel and silver in my Asko D5436XL?
- R
  Robin KellerSep 2, 2025
  Spots on stainless steel or silver in your Asko Dishwasher can be caused by certain foods like mustard, mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt, and dressings if they remain on the items for too long. Rinse these foods off before loading, or use the Rinse & Hold program. Also, direct contact between silver and stainless steel during washing can cause spots. Avoid washing them together.

Why does my Asko D5436XL Dishwasher have a bad odor?
- S
  Shannon MccoySep 5, 2025
  A bad odor in your Asko Dishwasher can result from dirt accumulating around the seals and in corners. Clean these areas with a dish brush and a low-foaming cleaner. Also, using low-temperature programs for extended periods can cause odors. Run a program with a higher temperature about once a month.

Why is my Asko D5436XL Dishwasher making a rattling sound?

  Matthew MurphySep 7, 2025
  A rattling sound during dishwashing in your Asko Dishwasher usually indicates that the dishes are not correctly placed or the spray arms are obstructed. Ensure dishes are securely placed. Manually spin the spray arms to confirm they can rotate freely.
