Asko Dishwasher leaking from motor area

If your Asko dishwasher is leaking from the motor area, start by pinpointing exactly where the water is coming from. The most likely cause is a bad shaft seal, which often shows up as a dishwasher leaking from pump area or a dishwasher pump seal leaking near the motor shaft. On some models, you can replace the seal by itself, while others use an impeller and seal kit or a full seal kit. If the leak is tied to a worn impeller, damaged seal, or a rusted motor shaft, the next likely fix is the pump and motor assembly. After that, check the water inlet valve for cracks, since a damaged valve can cause an Asko dishwasher leaking under motor area. A split or loose drain hose can also cause a dishwasher leaking from motor area underneath the tub. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to match the fix to your machine. Enter your model number to find the exact Asko shaft seal, impeller and seal kit, pump and motor assembly, water inlet valve, or drain hose that fits your specific dishwasher.

01 - Asko Dishwasher Shaft Seal

First, try to determine the source of the leak. If the water is leaking from the motor shaft area, the motor shaft seal is likely defective. If the seal is defective, replace it. (Some manufacturers sell the seal independently of the impeller. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the impeller and seal together. Still other manufacturers require that you purchase the entire pump and motor assembly instead of the impeller and seal. It is more cost effective to replace the seal kit rather than the impeller and seal.)

04 - Asko Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly

If the dishwasher is leaking water from the motor area, the entire pump and motor assembly need to be replaced. First, try to determine the source of the leak. If the water is leaking from the drain pump, the impeller and seal is likely the cause. On most dishwashers, you can replace the impeller and seal kit independently of the drain pump. However, if you do not want to disassemble the pump, or if the impeller and seal kit is not available separately, you can replace the entire pump and motor assembly. In addition, if the motor shaft is rusted and the new impeller won’t fit onto the shaft, replace the pump and motor asse...mbly.
Highly Likely

05 - Asko Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

A dishwasher's water inlet valve opens following a short drain cycle to fill the tank with water in preparation for the wash cycle. If the inlet valve is cracked or damaged, the dishwasher can leak water near the motor area beneath the dishwasher tank.

06 - Asko Dishwasher Drain Hose

A dishwasher leak near the motor area could be caused by damaged drain hose. Confirm the hose is secured to the drain pump outlet port and check for any cracks or holes in the hose itself. Replace a damaged drain hose with a new one.
