What to do if my Asko DSD444B/1 Dishwasher does not start?

  Kelly PhillipsAug 19, 2025
  If your Asko dishwasher doesn't start, several factors could be at play. Ensure the Start/Stop button is pressed and held until the display indicates "Program started." Verify the door is properly closed and the door lock has clicked into place. Also, check your home's fuse/circuit breaker, the wall socket connection, and the water tap. If you've added dishes mid-cycle, simply close the door and wait for the dishwasher to resume. If a whirring sound persists even when the power is off, turn off the water tap, pull out the plug, and call the service department. Lastly, make sure the Delayed Start option isn't active, or cancel it by pressing and holding Start/Stop for three seconds.

  If your Asko dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes properly, start by checking that the spray arms aren't blocked by dishes and can rotate freely. Clean the spray arm holes and bearings if they're blocked. Ensure you're using a suitable dishwashing program, like the Intensive program for greasy dishes, and using the correct detergent dosage based on water hardness. Avoid using old detergent, and ensure dishes are loaded correctly, preventing large bowls from covering smaller items and avoiding tall glasses in basket corners. Make sure glasses and cups are placed to sit steady. Check that the filters are correctly fitted and the drainage pump stop is in place.

  If your Asko dishwasher leaves water inside after a cycle, the filters might be blocked. Clean both the coarse and fine filters. Also, make sure the filters are correctly fitted and the filter handle is locked. Check for any debris in the drainage pump and clean it if necessary. 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.

Why are the dishes not dry enough in my Asko DSD444B/1?

  If your Asko dishwasher is not drying dishes adequately, first ensure that the Auto Open option is activated. Make sure the dishwasher is fully loaded, as a full load optimizes drying. Check the rinse aid level and increase the dosage if it's too low. If you're using all-in-one detergents with the TAB setting activated, try switching to separate detergents with rinse aid.

Wait until it stops flashing (approximately 60 seconds), then close the door and confirm the door lock clicks into place.

Why does my Asko Dishwasher leave spots or films on dishes?
- W
  wadejoshuaAug 30, 2025
  If your Asko dishwasher leaves spots or films on the dishes, the rinse aid dosage setting might be incorrect. Adjust it as needed. If you're using all-in-one detergents with the TAB setting activated, consider switching detergents or deactivating the TAB setting and adding salt and separate rinse aid. Ensure the salt compartment is full and the water softener setting is correct. Check for salt leaks from the water softener and ensure the salt compartment lid is properly tightened. If washing crystal, use a low temperature and less detergent to prevent etching.

  Thomas ReevesSep 1, 2025
  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've been using low-temperature programs for an extended period, run a high-temperature program once or twice a month to eliminate the odor.

  To address spots on stainless steel or silver in your Asko dishwasher, rinse off foods like mustard, mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt, and dressings from dishes if you're not starting the dishwasher immediately. Use the Rinse & hold program. Separate dishes made from different metals, such as silver, stainless steel, and aluminum, to prevent contact during washing.

Why does my Asko Dishwasher leave a sticky white/blue film on dishes?
- A
  Ashley AllenSep 8, 2025
  If your Asko dishwasher leaves a sticky white/blue film on dishes, the rinse aid dosage setting is likely too high. Reduce the dosage. If you have very soft water, consider diluting the rinse aid 50:50 with water.
