If your Asko dishwasher door won't latch, start with the parts most likely to throw the door out of alignment. A damaged door hinge is the top cause, since even a slight bend can keep the door from closing squarely. Next, check the door seal to make sure it is fully seated and not warped, because a misaligned gasket can stop the latch from catching. If the door feels heavy, drops open fast, or takes extra force to close, inspect the door spring and door cable, as either one can strain the hinge and lead to an Asko dishwasher door latch not catching. After that, look closely at the door latch itself and the door strike, since a broken latch assembly or worn strike will keep an Asko dishwasher door won't latch problem from going away.
