Asko Appliances Reviews

Bought a $2000.00 dishwasher. Complete garbage, the control board blew out twice, once under warranty, the other time not. Had to pay to haul it out and throw it away because the replacement cost $800.00, which was too much, and the design flaw was that when you opened the door, the steam went right through the top buttons. A revolving maintenance nightmare.

2 1/2 years ago we purchased an Asko dryer. This was recommended to us due to limited space in the laundry room. A couple weeks ago the tub stopped turning. The warranty was 2 years so it was out of warranty. We did find this unusual for a supposedly upscale dryer so new to need to be repaired so soon. I called Asko and was referred to a repairman. The estimate was $488 to replace what appeared to be a broken belt. When I heard this I called Asko customer service back to ask if they would consider a good faith repair since the dryer was so new.

After our 'workhorse' dishwasher finally stopped working, we decided to finally spring for a good dependable, quiet luxury brand. We went to Trail Appliances, (a reputable appliance store), where the salesman guaranteed that the Asko brand, though relatively unknown, was made by company that made high end Swedish appliances. It was on sale that week, but still a hefty price tag. We had originally wanted the Miele, but salesman said this was better! We waited anxiously for the registered Asko installer to set it up in our home, as Asko won't allow other installers or appliance repairman to touch their products, (or it voids the warranty).

I had an Asko dishwasher that was only five years old. Came up with a very strange error code. I tried to call the company. I kept coming up with all circuits are busy. I finally submitted a request online and they had someone call me that would not work on Askos. I reached out to at least five technicians in my area and they all said they refuse to work with Asko, that they were extremely difficult to work with so I ended up having to buy a brand new dishwasher.

Parts were missing on arrival of new. C called Esco and they sent us the wrong parts. I gave up after several attempts. Then two years later after the warranty expired, the circuit board broke down and cost us $200 for a check up, then another $900 to replace the circuit board. Should I pay for the repair or just buy a new one. The flame of the gas cooktop is unevenly distributed. Appliances of other brands bought at the same time are working fine. Problem with one appliance could be bad luck, problems with two appliances are related to quality control of the brand.

This is for the Asko dryer. Dryer can barely fit 3 towels. Weird lint trap design. Often has mechanical issues and very difficult to find someone willing to repair these. I would have been better off buying a much better recognized brand. I could have bought 5 of those for what this has cost me after all the repairs.

Dishwasher function is ok. Nothing outstanding. The middle rack is not suitable for cups and drinking glasses. I prefer the tried and true old fashioned design. Cups fall over, one of the rack prongs broke and began rusting after 3 months of not quite daily use. The utensil rack has too many dividers. Tried to replace with generic brands to no avail. I cannot find any old fashioned style racks that will fit the dishwasher. Will plan to purchase a different dishwasher in 2 years.

We have an Asko Dishwasher which is 17 years old and have had good experience with it. We now need to replace it and would prefer to have an Asko; particularly for me, as it has the best basket design. Two of our local appliance dealers are not carrying Askos, but Aitoro's in Norwalk is. We've been told they are not able to provide a replacement now but are expecting a shipment soon. Should we wait to buy an Asko based on our experience or choose a Miele or Bosch instead?

I bought my Asko washer and dryer over 17 years ago. The washer is model W6222 and the dryer is model T712. Both have worked mostly flawlessly. At one point the washer would accumulate a gallon or two of water inside while just sitting, so I started turning on the water faucet only when in use, which "resolved" that issue, though I sometimes forget but the washer no longer accumulates water. The dryer has worked flawlessly always. So, I've never had a reason for a service call and both machines still look great and run great. They have been quiet and dependable. I haven't had the negative experiences that I read on this site. Don't know if I would buy another given those reports since after-purchase service is a very important consideration, but maybe I'll never have to.

I have had my replacement ASKO washer now for 8 years. The first ASKO washer caught on fire during a spin cycle. Sounded like the house was imploding! This thing washes ok, however the materials or rather the housing, is rusting out at the one and only soap dispenser. I have tried for years now to get the front panel replaced. Then I had conversation with a Customer Representative that danced for approximately ONE year. I finally gave up and tried to purchase said front panel only to be denied by someone at ASKO. This company is ridiculously incompetent! Almost $2000 for a rusty mess! ASKO REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT!

My previous 24-yr. old Asko washing machine was awesome until it died. It washed so well and spun out the water so efficiently that it took little time for any wash to dry. I am extremely dissatisfied with my current W2084W of 3 years. It is often out of alignment and won’t spin. I have to squeeze out the excess water by hand and use the spinning cycle to complete the program. I am so disillusioned that I will never consider Asko again. I am going to replace this machine long before it breaks down, give it away and purchase a Miele instead.

I bought this dishwasher (D5456) based on my parents' recommendation on the brand being good, mainly because it's expensive and they had one. This is so shoddy, the cutlery tray falls out constantly, the inside trays started to rust out and the prongs that hold plates up started to rust out and fall apart. When I sent pics to Asko (outside of warranty admittedly) they said it's something I've done to damage them.

Our 8 year old LG dishwasher needed repairs last year, which we invested $500 into, in order to fix. Less than a year following that repair, it needed another significant investment to keep going. Unwilling to keep forking over large sums of $ into an aged dishwasher, went looking for a replacement. After several hours of comparison shopping, we were convinced that the ASKO dishwasher model DBI364IS, was our solution. We purchased it in early September 2024 for $1600, and truthfully, it has been a regrettable experience.

I purchased my first Asko dishwasher when it was sold by Wolf and never had problems with it until it finally just got old. I again purchased a second Asko dishwasher which was still under Wolf. Three years ago Wolf decided to make dishwashers under Cove. I had two products - my sub-zero ice maker and my Asko dishwasher - both just a couple of months out of warranty. Both appliances are only 6 years old. Wolf stepped up and helped me with the cost on the ice maker. I called Asko and they would not help me and didn't care, only 6 years old and it is going to cost me $400.-$500. So remember this when purchase your next dishwasher.

We loved the Asko dishwasher but speed on it at 3 1/2 years when it started leaking. They only have one company that services their machines and it took them 2 weeks to get to us. They came 3 times before figuring out where it leaked and how to fix it. The estimate to fix it was more than we paid for the dishwasher. I will never buy another asko product again. We will also have to replace the wood floor that was damaged. We purchased a new dishwasher rather than fixing the asko.

I bought an ASKO Dishwasher and Dryer in June of 2020. The Dryer, an ASKO T208H.W Classic Heat Pump Condenser Dyer lasted just under 4 years. I should note I that rarely used it. The support wheels had totally disintegrated and the drum fan needed replacing. It was serviced and returned to me and the machine is now very loud and vibrates when operating. Technician returned and offered to take it back and take it apart and said it was likely that many parts would need replacing, he was surprised the machine was not even 4 years old and suggested I reach out to ASKO. When I rang ASKO and explained the situation the customer service person asked "What do you expect us to do about it?"

We were attracted to the dishwasher because it looked simple & modern. Seller: Trail Appliances. Distributor: Distinctive Appliance Inc. Installed in Dec. 2022. Suddenly stopped working without notice. Called seller (Trail Appliances), referred to the distributor (Distinctive appliance inc) who referred us to the Servicing co. After weeks of confusion, we eventually got an assessment date. That date wasn't for some weeks too. The fault was the main brain of the dishwasher which had to be ordered. In the interim, we called the seller for a loaner machine but they once again asked us to call the distributor who said they didn't offer such. With a significant number of weeks gone without a dishwasher one can't help but feel disgruntled and sad at the choice we made. This is a a thorn in our flesh. We are at the mercy of these people.

Problems with our 3 years old Asko dishwasher since the first day and now start button is not working and need to change the part, which cost around $600 -$700 if the part is available. (Some customer ordered over 2 months and not received it). Asko customer service was not responsive, avoid purchasing Asko products as they are expensive & short life span.

This company will try to convince you that brand new appliances require repair prior to using them. I previously had an ASKO washer/dryer that worked flawlessly for 12 years. I liked their simplicity of design and decided to replace with the same brand when the dryer broke. I regretted that decision since. The new dryer started making a terrible mechanical rattling noise on the first actual use after installation. The dealer I used had a no return policy, so they sent me to ASKO to deal with the situation. ASKO sent their service representatives who agreed the noise was not normal but had no clue what was going on. They opened the back of the dryer and closed it up leaving one loose screw on the floor behind them. That was the “fix.” The dryer keeps making the same noise. In the meantime, I was washing bedding on a bedding cycle in the washer. This was not the first or second use. This was one month after using the appliance.

I bought a condo with new Asko dishwasher. 1) Warranty is voided with transfer of ownership. 2) This 3 year old dishwasher has already had 2 repairs at least. I wasn't the owner of the first repair but my repair cost the equivalent of 1/2 of a new Asko dishwasher. There could have been more repairs than these 2. I think it's a lemon! Shame on this high end company. Never ever buy an Asko!!

We went “high end” in buying our first Asko dishwasher. After several service calls within 5-yrs we just thought we had a lemon. We were dumb enough to buy a 2nd Asko. After 3-yrs it stopped drying the dishes. We lived with that and dried them ourselves. Last week it stopped cleaning properly, leaving a film on glasses. Had a service person in who only made suggestions but also said that the electric panel is typically BAD ON ASKO, but that was not the issue. One week later it will not turn on at all. The same service guy says “Ya, that electric panel.” So in 8-years we’ve had 2 Asko dishwashers and both had died despite service both within the warranty period and beyond it. We treat our appliances very well and run the dishwasher once every day or two. STAY AWAY unless you like gambling. BRUTAL.

We purchased an ASKO dishwasher two years ago. I am 61 and have owned, loaded and used dishwashers for 40 of those years and I am completely dissatisfied with this model. The dishes come out with baked on dirt, much worse than the easily (I'd have thought) dirt they went in with. I routinely fill a glass with water only to find disgusting specks floating in it. The spray arms frequently clog and the helpful advice in the manual is to push the clogged material back into the arm, where, unsurprisingly, once the water flows in, it reclogs the spray holes. It also suggests cleaning the spray arms by taking them apart and emptying them.

We bought an Asko dishwasher last year. It was a high end model as that was available (our old dishwasher conked out after a decade). In early 2022, it stopped working. Turns out that the wiring that connects the fan to the control unit was never installed in the factory. It has been over 6 mos and their service guys have yet to get this part (a piece of wire with connectors on two ends) ordered, delivered and installed. I already decided we would never buy another Asko product again (and chose another brand for a place we were building in FL). And, any and all calls/emails to their Customer Service area seem to go to a set of people who either can’t get anything done, don’t care or both. Their local service guys seem to keep getting replaced every few months so there’s no continuity with their local contract service guys either. Just a truly awful company - badly made products and really crappy post sales service.

We purchased an Asko 40 series dishwasher. We had it installed and from day 1, it never worked. We live in NE Florida and therefore were directed to contact Pinnacle, the new distributor of Asko. They apparently took over the distribution responsibility from Subzero starting July 1. They did not acquire the appropriate service support during this process. We were able to get one appliance repair serviceman to come out and he wasn't familiar with Asko and did not offer much.

We bought this after our Bosch died (after many years); we were told that this was good but cheaper. Since we bought it over a year ago, it has not worked more than it has worked. We have many people out to look at it and try to fix it because it is still under warranty, but to no avail. It might work for a week then die again. They have tried everything but replacing the whole unit. I see many have had a good experience with this company, but our experience has been very frustrating.
