  If your Asko dishwasher isn't starting, make sure you press and hold the Start/Stop button until the display indicates "Program started". If you've set a delayed start, press and hold Start/Stop for three seconds to cancel it. Also, check for potential overflow/leaks. If you hear a continuous whirring sound from the drainage pump that doesn't stop when you turn off the main power, turn off the water tap, pull out the plug, and call for service.

  If your Asko dishwasher leaves dishes unclean, start by checking the spray arms. Remove them and clean to ensure they rotate freely. Make sure dishes aren't blocking the spray arms. Consider that old detergent loses effectiveness, so avoid buying large packages. Use the correct detergent dosage based on your water hardness, and select a more powerful wash program. Ensure dishes are loaded correctly, avoiding overcrowding or blocking spray. Secure glasses and cups to prevent them from toppling, and make sure the filter is correctly fitted.

  If your Asko dishwasher isn't drying dishes well enough, try activating the 'Drying: Long' option. Ensure the dishwasher is fully loaded, as a full load optimizes drying. Check and replenish the rinse aid, increasing the dosage if necessary. After the program finishes, slightly open the door to aid drying.

  If you find spots or films on your dishes after using your Asko dishwasher, it might be due to an incorrect rinse aid dosage. Adjust the rinse aid settings accordingly. High temperatures or too much detergent can cause etching on crystal. If washing crystal, use a lower temperature and less detergent.

  If water remains in your Asko dishwasher after a cycle, check the drainage hose for blockages or kinks. Loosen the hose where it connects to the sink unit's water trap to clear any debris, ensuring the pipe's inner diameter is at least 14 mm. Also, clean the coarse and fine filters, ensuring the filter is completely locked with the handle pointing towards the door. Finally, inspect the drainage pump for any debris.

Why does my Asko D5896 XXL leave spots on silver?

  Shaun ThompsonAug 30, 2025
  If you notice spots on stainless steel or silver items after washing in your Asko dishwasher, it could be due to contact with certain foods like mustard, mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt, or dressings. Rinse these off items if you're not starting the dishwasher immediately. Also, prevent silver and stainless steel items from touching each other during the wash cycle, as stainless steel can cause spots on silver.

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

What to do if Asko D5896 XXL Dishwasher leaves a film on dishes?

  Thomas RuizSep 4, 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 you're using. If you have very soft water, consider diluting the rinse aid 50:50 with water.
