Asko Dishwasher won't start

If your Asko dishwasher won't start, the most common causes are usually a blown thermal fuse, a bad door switch, or a damaged wire harness that is not sending power where it needs to go. A broken door latch is another likely reason, since the dishwasher will not run if the door is not latched securely. After that, check the main control board, but save it for later in the diagnosis because control boards are often misdiagnosed. In some cases, a failed drain pump can also keep an Asko dishwasher not starting, since the unit may need to drain water before the next cycle begins. If your dishwasher has power but will not start, testing these parts with a multimeter and doing a close visual inspection is the fastest way to narrow it down. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to match the fix to your machine. Enter your model number to find the exact Asko replacement part, whether you need a thermal fuse, door switch, wire harness, door latch, main control board, or drain pump for your specific dishwasher.

01 - Asko Dishwasher Thermal Fuse

The thermal fuse shuts off power to the dishwasher if it overheats. If the thermal fuse blows, it will prevent the dishwasher from starting. To determine if the thermal fuse is defective, use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the thermal fuse does not have continuity, replace it.

02 - Asko Dishwasher Door Switch

The door switch prevents the dishwasher from running while the door is open. If the door switch is defective, the switch will prevent the dishwasher from running even when the door is closed. To determine if the door switch is at fault, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If the switch does not have continuity, replace it.

03 - Asko Dishwasher Wire Harness

If the dishwasher start button appears to work, but the dishwasher still won't start, a wire harness which sends power from the control board to the pump components could be damaged. Inspect the wire harness for any frayed or broken wires and replace if necessary.

04 - Asko Dishwasher Door Latch

The door latch ensures that the dishwasher door latches shut. If the door does not latch properly, the door switch might prevent the dishwasher from running. If the door latch is broken, replace it.

05 - Asko Dishwasher Main Control Board

The main control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. If there is a problem with the main control board, it might not send voltage to the dishwasher, causing the dishwasher not to start. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—make sure you check more commonly defective parts before replacing the main control board.

06 - Asko Dishwasher Drain Pump

A dishwasher drain pump assists in removing the water from the tank at various times during operation. Since the unit will drain some water from the tank prior to the fill cycle beginning, a faulty drain pump unable to drain any water could prevent the dishwasher from starting.
