Asko Dryer light is out

If your Asko dryer interior light is out, start by checking the light socket, since a bad socket is the most common cause; unplug the dryer and use a multimeter to see if voltage reaches the socket, and replace the socket if power is present but the bulb won’t light. If the socket checks out, the next likely culprits are the control assemblies — the control panel, touchpad, or user control and display board — because many indicator lights are built into those modules and the whole assembly must be replaced when an indicator fails. A faulty door switch can also prevent voltage from reaching the light, so test the switch for continuity when the door is opened. Less commonly, the light assembly itself will be burned or damaged and need replacement. If you want the correct replacement part, enter your dryer model number on RepairClinic.com to see parts that fit your machine and order the exact socket, control assembly, switch, or light assembly you need.

01 - Asko Dryer Light Socket

If the light itself is newly installed or shows no signs of damage, yet still won't work, it's possible the light socket is defective. You can use a multimeter to test whether or not voltage is reaching the light socket. If the meter shows that power is reaching the light socket then it's likely the socket is malfunctioning and will need to be replaced.

05 - Asko Dryer Door Switch

The dryer door switch will turn the interior light off when the door is closed and turn it back on when the door is opened. If the switch is defective, it may be unable to allow voltage to reach the light. You can use a multimeter to test the door switch for appropriate electrical continuity when actuated. If the switch doesn't provide appropriate continuity, it will need to be replaced.
