Why my Asko DBI253IB.W.AU does not start?
- K
  Kevin JohnsonSep 12, 2025
  The Asko Dishwasher might not start because the Start/Stop button wasn't pressed long enough; press and hold it until the display indicates "Program started". Other potential causes include the door not being properly closed, a program being interrupted to add dishes (close the door and wait), a tripped fuse/circuit breaker, the plug not being in the wall socket, the water tap being off, or an overflow/leak. A whirring sound that doesn't stop when the power is off indicates a need to turn off the water tap, unplug the dishwasher, and call for service. Finally, check if the Delayed Start option is activated, and press and hold Start/Stop for three seconds to cancel it.

  If water remains in your Asko Dishwasher, start by cleaning the coarse and fine filters. Ensure the filters are correctly fitted and locked. Check for debris in the drainage pump and ensure the drainage pump stop is in place. Inspect the drainage hose for kinks or blockages, ensuring it has an inner diameter of at least 14 mm where it connects to the sink unit's water trap.

  Kimberly GarciaAug 26, 2025
  If your dishes aren't getting clean in your Asko Dishwasher, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the spray arms aren't blocked by dishes. Also, check and clean the spray arm holes and bearings. Select a program like 'Intensive' for heavily soiled items. Correct your detergent dosage based on water hardness, avoiding too much or too little. Ensure your detergent isn't old. Load dishes properly, avoiding overlap or tall glasses in corners. Secure glasses and cups to prevent them from toppling. Lastly, verify that the filters are correctly fitted and that the drainage pump stop is in place.
