Asko Dryer starts then stops

If your Asko dryer starts then stops — it runs for a few seconds and then shuts off or won’t keep running — the most common causes to check are, in this order, a faulty moisture sensor, a bad motor relay, a defective control board or main control board, a failing user control and display board, or a defective timer. Start with the simple checks: make sure the door switch and start button/touchpad are working, clean any lint from the sensor and vent, and listen for the motor trying to restart. You can quickly test suspected parts with a multimeter and a visual inspection for burned or shorted components before swapping parts. Some of these components are less common failures than others, but replacing the wrong part is expensive, so verify what’s actually failing first. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to pull up the exact replacement part that fits your dryer and get step-by-step repair help to get it running again.

01 - Asko Dryer Moisture Sensor

The moisture sensor monitors the clothing’s moisture level and sends a signal to the control board when the clothes are dry. If the moisture sensor is malfunctioning, it could inaccurately report that the clothing have sufficient dried, causing the drum to stop spinning. However, this is rarely the case. Before replacing the moisture sensor check all the more commonly defective parts. If you have determined that all of the other components are working properly, replace the moisture sensor.

02 - Asko Dryer Motor Relay

If both the door switch and dryer touchpad are working appropriately, it's possible the motor relay is defective. However, this is not that common of a problem. Before replacing the motor relay, check all the more commonly defective parts. If you determine that all of the other components are working properly, you can test the motor relay by using a multimeter and consulting the wiring diagram to help determine if it is malfunctioning.

If both the door switch and dryer touchpad are working appropriately, it's possible the control board is defective. However, this is not that common of a problem. Before replacing the board, check all of the more commonly defective parts. If you have determined that all of the other components are working properly, replace the control board. (The control board cannot be easily tested, but you can try to inspect it for signs of burning or a shorted-out component.)

05 - Asko Dryer User Control and Display Board

If the dryer's start/cancel button is only working intermittently, it's likely the user control and display board is malfunctioning and causing the dryer to stop running. A new board will need to be installed to resolve the problem.
