20 Most Recent Asko 24 in. D3530FI Built-in Dishwasher Questions & Answers

It sounds like the door is distorted or buckled.I'm afraid you may need a new door if it cant be straightened.Also make sure the basket isnt stopping the door from closing.

I have the exact same problem - Cindy did you ever figure it out? Please let me know.

Thanks

The part is a cap for the drain pump. You can put it back into position by removing the filters and placing it to the left of where the circular filter would be positioned. The part goes in with the part numbers on the bottom facing down. When positioned it should not interfere with the threads for the circular filter. You may have to scoop out the water in the bottom, to have a better look at how it is positioned. It is always normal to have a little bit of water in the bottom filter area (below the silver screen filter).

I believe the washer has had a flood type situation.there is normally a flood switch in the very bottom of the dishwasher right at the very floor,if water get into the bottom tray it floats a piece polystyrene foam wich triggers a little micro switch wich will run the pump continually & show Overfilling fault at the same time..The water in the tray needs to be mopped out with a rag or spunge so that the styrene foam can drop back down.The blockage you had may have caused this flood situation some how.The overfill fault was probably due to the washer not pumping out,So that may be ok now that you have cleared the blockage.hope this helped.

Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

It sounds like you've got a bad power switch or a wire at the power switch or as you described it... (circle with a I, looks like a reset button?) that's the power button, this will require removing the control panel, but I'd check the power at the dishwasher first though...

You'll need to check behind the kick plate at the bottom as opposed to just checking the GFI and circuit breaker. This is something I've seen fairly often with Asko dishwashers.

**Use caution when checking voltages with a live circuit. Turn off the breaker when servicing the unit otherwise...safety first**

If you have any reservations or aren't completely confident performing these tasks I suggest calling in a pro, sometimes the $100 or so is worth it.

You'll need a volt meter or multimeter to check for voltage as well as to look for burnt up connections at the terminal block/junction, it'll be pretty obvious if present. This will indicate a wire has been loose and burnt due to resistance, simply cutting it back and refastening it securely should solve the problem provided no further damage was done.

Let me know what you find and I'll try to assist you in any manner I can going forward.

Hi

Use a multimeter and check the reading to the drain pump. Make sure that the drain pump connections are fine and the wiring to the control panel seems to be ok. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Hi,

This sounds like either the overflow sensor or the water control valve is stuck.
Usually the valve is a solenoid valve that controls the entrance and fill of the water.
If the overflow sensor is underneath, there may be water down below that accumulated causing this interference.Usually this is not a home handy man repair.


Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

HI- The flood switch has been tripped. It is located under the unit and is not really accessible except by a Tech. The most likely cause it poor draining; if there is a little water left over from each part of the cycle then eventually the water will overfill into the pan under the dishwasher and trip the flood switch. Check the Air Gap on your sink for blockage if you have one and check the dishwasher filter inside the unit. You can just let it sit for a few days or a week and the water in the pan will eventually evaporate and the switch will remedy itself, or you can call a Tech and have them dry it out and check the drain function. Hope this helps, good luck.

If these two grey pieces are about 1 1/2" long and a 1/2" wide. They are used to retain the upper rack onto the tracks to prent the rack from falling out and used as a rack stopper. There are two on the front and two on the back of the top rack. How to insert them may differ dependant on the model. look at the two still attached and you may be able to re-install them.

Hello,

It is common for these valves to "appear" to be ok, meaning they begin to allow water into the unit, but then one of the two coils or plungers inside fail, or are clogged with mineral deposit from the water or other debris.

Change the valve and you should be fine. part #1164471, you can find it at select parts depots or on-line retailers like repairclinic.com etc.

** Hire a pro or make sure to use a good replacement clamp on the fill line to the tub when you replace the valve, as well as some plumbers puddy/tape on the inlet fitting. Those little buggers have alot of water pressure going thru them when they open and I've seen them come off or leak due to insufficient fastening/loose clamps, then your machine goes into "flood mode".**

Asko seems to be repeating their past. On the earlier DW95 series (mid 90's to around 2000ish) they had a dual valve inlet which had a single valve rework issued to repair the faulty dual valves, now it looks like they're doing it again. Go figure.

Hope that helps, let me know.

Good Luck :)

Generally speaking, dishwashers don't heat cold water on their own. Be sure the dishwasher is connected to a hot water supply and that hot water is available to the dishwasher at the START of the cycle.

Often it takes hot water several seconds for house plumbing to deliver hot water to an outlet. If the dishwasher is connected to the kitchen hot water supply, run the water in the sink until the water runs hot before you start the dishwasher.

Dishwashers often have heaters to heat the water even hotter than most home water heaters, but they are not intended to heat cool or cold water. You MUST furnish hot water to the dishwasher from the time the cycle is started.

I've seen houses that take so long for hot water to reach a faucet, the dishwasher is already full (of cold water) before the first drop of hot water reaches it.

Good luck. Hope this helps.
