Why my Asko DBI663IS Dishwasher does not start?
- R
  Robert WatkinsAug 18, 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 the program has started. Ensure the door is properly closed within four seconds of pressing Start/Stop. If you opened the dishwasher mid-cycle, press Start/Stop again and close the door quickly. Also, check the fuse/circuit breaker, the power plug, and the water supply valve. Overflow or leaks could also prevent starting. A continuous whirring sound from the drain pump requires turning off the water supply valve, unplugging the unit, and contacting customer support. Finally, ensure the Delayed Start option is not active by pressing and holding Start/Stop for three seconds to cancel it.

Why are the dishes not clean in my Asko Dishwasher?

  If your Asko Dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes properly, first check that the spray arms aren't blocked by dishes and can rotate freely. Clean the spray arms if the holes or bearings are blocked. Select a longer, more suitable dishwashing program and ensure you're using the correct detergent dosage based on your water hardness; avoid using old detergent. Load dishes correctly, preventing large bowls or lids from covering other items and avoiding tall glasses in the corners. Secure glasses and cups to prevent them from toppling over. Make sure the filters are correctly fitted and the drain pump stop is in place.

  If water remains in your Asko Dishwasher above the filters, start by cleaning the coarse and fine filters. Ensure the filters are correctly fitted with the handle locked in the stop position. Check for debris in the drain pump and clean it if necessary. Also, verify that the drain pump stop is in place. Inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages, ensuring it's properly connected and free of obstructions.

How to improve drying in Asko Dishwasher?
- P
  patrickyoungAug 26, 2025
  If your Asko Dishwasher leaves dishes too wet, try activating the Extra Dry option. Make sure the dishwasher is fully loaded for optimal drying. Check and replenish the rinse aid, increasing the dosage if needed. If using all-in-one detergents with the TAB setting activated, consider switching detergents or deactivating the TAB setting and using separate salt and rinse aid. If none of these options work, try opening the door slightly after the program finishes.

What causes spots on dishes in Asko Dishwasher?
- C
  Christine DavisAug 28, 2025
  Spots or films on dishes from your Asko Dishwasher can be due to several reasons. Check the rinse aid dosage setting. If you're using all-in-one detergents with the TAB setting activated, and the drying effect is insufficient, switch detergents or deactivate the TAB setting and add salt and separate rinse aid. Ensure the salt compartment is full, the water softener setting is correct, and the salt compartment lid is tightly closed. High temperatures or too much detergent can cause etching on crystal; wash crystal at a low temperature with less detergent.

Why Asko DBI663IS Dishwasher buttons not working?
- J
  josephbatesAug 30, 2025
  If the buttons on your Asko Dishwasher aren't responding, wait a moment before trying again, especially if you've just opened the door. Check if the child lock is activated. Remember, the buttons only work when the door is open. Also, ensure the buttons are clean and free from dirt; wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

How to prevent spots on silver in Asko Dishwasher?
- M
  mcarpenterSep 2, 2025
  Spots on stainless steel or silver in your Asko Dishwasher can occur if certain foods like mustard, mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, or salt remain on the dishes for too long; rinse these off before washing, or use the Rinse and hold program. Additionally, stainless steel can cause spots on silver if they come into contact during dishwashing; separate dishes made from different metals to avoid this.

How to get rid of bad odor in Asko DBI663IS Dishwasher?
- M
  Mr. Adam ArnoldSep 5, 2025
  A bad odor in your Asko Dishwasher may be due to dirt around the seals and in corners; clean these areas with a dish brush and a low-foaming cleaner. Prolonged use of low-temperature programs can also cause odors; run a high-temperature program or a self-cleaning program once or twice a month. If the dishwasher is connected to a garbage disposer, cleaning the disposer can help eliminate odors.

Why there is detergent residue in Asko DBI663IS Dishwasher?
- J
  Jennifer MurphySep 7, 2025
  Detergent residue in the detergent compartment of your Asko Dishwasher after washing can occur if the compartment was damp when you added the detergent; ensure it's dry before adding detergent. Also, check that dishes aren't blocking the detergent compartment from opening properly.
