Why are my dishes not clean in my Asko D5544 XXL FI Dishwasher?

  Mary WashingtonAug 18, 2025
  If your Asko dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes properly, several factors could be at play. Ensure the spray arms can rotate freely and aren't blocked by dishes; remove and clean the spray arms if necessary. Check your detergent isn't old, and you're using the correct dosage based on your water hardness. Insufficient detergent or incorrect dosage can lead to poor results. Select a more powerful program or higher temperature. Make sure you load dishes correctly, avoiding overcrowding or blocking items. Secure glasses and cups, and ensure the filter is correctly fitted. Following these steps should improve your dishwasher's cleaning performance.

What to do if my Asko D5544 XXL FI Dishwasher does not start?

  If your Asko dishwasher won't start, make sure you press and hold the Start/Stop button until the display indicates it's ready. Ensure the door is properly closed, and check your fuse/circuit breaker. Verify the dishwasher is plugged into the wall socket and the water tap is turned on. In case of overflow/leaks, perform a check. If a whirring sound persists even when power is cut, turn off the water tap, pull out the plug, and contact the service division. Also, check if the Delayed start option is active; press and hold Start/Stop for three seconds to cancel it.

How to improve drying in my Asko D5544 XXL FI Dishwasher?

  Brandon LindseyAug 23, 2025
  If your Asko dishwasher leaves dishes not dry enough, activate the Long dry option. Ensure the dishwasher is fully loaded, as a full load optimizes drying. Check and top up the rinse aid, or increase the dosage if it's set too low. Once the program is complete, open the door slightly to aid the drying process.

Why does water remain in my Asko D5544 XXL FI after cycle?
- S
  Sheila MontoyaAug 26, 2025
  If water remains in your Asko dishwasher, start by checking the drainage hose for blockages and kinks. Loosen the hose where it connects to the sink unit's water trap to clear any debris. Ensure the cone-shaped part of the pipe is cut to at least 14 mm inner diameter. Inspect and clean the coarse and fine filters, making sure the filter is completely locked with the handle pointing towards the door. Finally, check the drainage pump for debris and clean it.

  Logan FloresAug 28, 2025
  If you notice spots or films on dishes from your Asko dishwasher, the rinse aid dosage setting may be incorrect. Adjust the setting accordingly. High temperatures or excessive detergent can cause etching on crystal. Wash crystal at a lower temperature with less detergent and contact the detergent manufacturer for advice.

  To address a bad odor in your Asko dishwasher, clean around the seals and corners with a washing-up brush and low foaming cleaner. If you consistently use low-temperature programs, run a program with a higher temperature about once a month to prevent odors.

  To prevent spots on stainless steel or silver in your Asko dishwasher, rinse off foods like mustard, mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt, and dressings from these items if you're not starting the dishwasher immediately; consider using the Rinse & Hold program. Also, avoid direct contact between silver and stainless steel items during dishwashing, as well as aluminum.

Why is my Asko D5544 XXL FI making a rattling sound?

  John SanchezSep 4, 2025
  If you hear a rattling sound during dishwashing with your Asko dishwasher, it's likely due to incorrectly placed dishes or spray arms not rotating. Check that the dishes are placed securely and spin the spray arms to ensure they can rotate freely.

What causes a sticky white/blue film on dishes in my Asko D5544 XXL FI Dishwasher?
- G
  Gregory JacksonSep 7, 2025
  If your Asko dishwasher leaves a sticky white/blue film on the dishes, the rinse aid dosage setting is likely too high. Reduce the amount of rinse aid. If you have very soft water, consider diluting the rinse aid 50:50 with water.

Why are the touch buttons on my Asko D5544 XXL FI not working?

  Grant StephensSep 10, 2025
  If the touch buttons on your Asko dishwasher aren't responding, wait a moment and try again, especially if you've just opened the door. Clean the buttons with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure the door is open enough so the display lights up. Also, check if the child lock (button lock) is activated.
