If your Asko dishwasher soap dispenser is not opening, the problem is usually in the dispenser itself, not the whole machine. On an Asko dishwasher not dispensing soap, start with the most common failures: a broken dispenser lever, a damaged detergent dispenser cover, a cracked detergent container, or a broken dispenser lid. Any of these parts can keep the dishwasher detergent door from opening properly, which leads to poor wash performance and leaves you with an Asko dishwasher detergent dispenser not working as it should. If individual dispenser pieces are worn or you would rather skip taking the dispenser apart, replacing the complete detergent dispenser is often the simplest fix. A bad control board can also prevent the dispenser from getting voltage, but that is much less common and should be checked only after the dispenser components have been ruled out. Inspect each part for visible damage, sticking, or broken pivots, and replace what is faulty.

The control board provides power to nearly every component of the dishwasher. If there is a problem with the control board, it might not send voltage to the detergent dispenser, preventing the dispenser from opening. However, this is not likely the case. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—make sure you check more commonly defective parts before replacing the control board
