Asko Appliance Repair

What Asko Appliances We Repair

In North America, Asko sells dishwashers and laundry. So those are what we fix: Asko dishwashers, front-load washing machines and tumble dryers, including stacked laundry pairs. We work on older models and on current ones like the Steel Seal washers.

Asko was founded in Sweden in 1950. In 1965 it brought out a fully automatic front-loading washer and a compact dishwasher. That focus on laundry and dishes still shapes the line. Today Asko is part of the Gorenje Group, which Hisense owns. Production moved from Sweden to Slovenia in 2013. Design and management are still based in Sweden.

Asko Dishwasher Problems

Asko dishwashers are built differently from most American models. That matters when they break.

• Won't drain: The filter clogs or the drain pump jams with glass or seeds.
• Water on the floor: A leak from the door seal, a hose or the pump.
• Dishes not clean: Blocked spray arms or a weak circulation pump, the pump that pushes wash water through the arms.
• No heat or poor drying: A failed heating element or temperature sensor.

Asko Washer and Dryer Repairs

Asko washing machines are front-loaders with a solid steel build. A common call is a washer that won't finish. Most of the time, the drain pump is clogged with lint or small items. The door lock can also fail, and the machine then will not start. Loud spinning often points to worn bearings or shocks.

Picture an Asko washer in a Houston townhouse that keeps stopping with a few inches of water in the drum. The owner has tried a reset three times. Often the pump trap holds a sock and a wad of lint. A few minutes of cleaning and a pump test, and it drains like new.

Asko dryers that won't heat usually need a heating element or a sensor. A dryer that tumbles but takes two cycles may have a clogged lint path. Our Asko washer repair and Asko dryer repair pages go into detail.

How We Work on Your Asko

Asko owners tend to call us after a bad experience with someone who had never opened one. We get it. These machines are built in a European way, with tight panels and compact parts. Our techs know where things hide.

Here is the plan. Call early and we will try for a same-day visit, which most calls get. A tech with a license, insurance and a cleared background check arrives. The diagnostic visit is $79 for a home. You then get a fixed price, and you decide. Approve it, and the $79 is waived.

Some Asko parts come from overseas stock. When one has to be ordered, we settle the next visit date with you on the spot. Only genuine OEM parts go in. Our 30-day repair warranty covers what we fix.

Simple Care Tips for Asko Owners

A few habits save service calls. Clean the dishwasher filter every couple of weeks. Seeds, labels and bits of glass collect there fast. On the washer, open the small pump trap every few months and clear it. Leave the washer door open a crack after each load so the seal can dry. And use the right amount of detergent. Too much soap makes suds, and suds cause leaks and drain faults on both machines.

Should I Repair My Asko or Buy New?

Asko machines are made to last, and that is why people buy them. A pump, lock or heating element is worth replacing on almost any Asko. The machine around it is usually in good shape.

Parts are the main question on older units. Some older Asko parts take time to arrive. A few are no longer made. If yours is one of them, we will tell you before we order anything.
