Asko Appliances Reviews

I purchased all my kitchen appliances for our new house from Asko including a Pyro OP8678G oven, which in 2.5 years has had to be repaired 3 times. Asko has been extremely unhelpful in assisting me. Their service is very poor. Long waits on hold for customer service and never replies to emails. I am very disappointed as Asko used to have a good reputation and quality products but it seems now that their quality and customer service has gone out the window.

After purchasing a washing machine (8KG Front Loader Washing Machine: W4086P.W.AU), dryer and pedestal drawer from ASKO in March 2020, we have had the washing machine replaced because the first one was faulty then the 2nd machine repaired twice because it leaked. We are awaiting our third replacement pedestal drawer because the first two were faulty. Customer service is non-existent. Highly recommend NEVER buying from this company.

Was convinced to purchase Asko based on the sales pitch on their quality and ther warranty. I purchased their washing machine and dryer through Harvey Norman and arranged delivery time to coincide with HN and others. After it didn't arrive I called and waited an hour. Finally, I left my phone number and they called back. They informed they had it for delivery 2 days later. Umm no. When it arrived there was only the washing machine and not the dryer. Again another hour on the phone and I gave up. Long story short took me 2 days to get through to their support office. Absolutely appalling customer service. I am dreading if there is an issue based on what's happened.

I purchased an ASKO washer/dryer in November 2019. Today 05/13/2020 I'm having problems with it. The gasket came off. The technician was here, worked on it. He put the gasket on but it looks terrible, like a 2 yr. old put it on. He messed up the door where it's now hard to close and scratched it. It's now making weird noises. Worse. $2,000 machine.

I purchased an Asko oven/cooktop/range hood, costing approx $7000. We have had issues with the oven since we first purchased it. We have had parts replaced and nothing has resolved the issue with the griller causing an error code 7. We were informed by the Asko service dep that it was due to humidity and we would have to reset the oven by the power box every time the error code came on. We live in a humid city. We emailed three different departments at Asko over a month ago to express our disappointment and was seeking an exchange or refund. We have received not one response. Our next step is local rep and Consumer Affairs.

I bought an ASKO dishwasher in 2017 because I was told it would last a long time. Not the case at all. December 2019 I noticed that the dishes weren’t clean on the top rack. I tried cleaning different detergents which did nothing. After running numerous cycles I noticed that the bottom spray arm was the only one spinning during the cycle, this was in January 2020. A technician came by to diagnose the issue February 03. He said it would be a week to get the parts. The part arrived a few months later and he came by again on April 17 and told me he needed more parts and it would be about a week to get in. It’s now May 12 and nothing yet. I bought a dishwasher to wash dishes, it’s been doing absolutely nothing but wasting my time. I will just toss the dishwasher and buy another brand. Sick and tired of waiting. Do not buy.

I helped my elderly parents purchase a Asko Oven last year.. It started playing up within the first few months. Three occasions it self locked and we had to have a technician come out under warranty to unlock it. The technician disconnected the oven saying it was faulty. That was 7 weeks ago and we are still waiting for them to replace the oven! Yes seven weeks and still waiting. My parents live on a rural property so haven’t easy access to takeaway shops etc. Each time we contact them they promise to ring back with a solution but fail to even return calls. Their Moorabbin warranty centre don’t seem to care how long it takes. A lady even joked with me she wouldn’t be going to have dinner at my parents with no oven.

I Purchased an Asko DS3100ss Dishwasher in 18/09/2004, I have had two repair call outs in the last two years for faulty wiring loom which has been earthing out to the chassis. A local Asko Invoice ** and **. I believe that this is a dangerous situation and would be common to all their machines, so be careful. I mentioned that this is an issue to the service man who in turn replied with "Well it is getting old. They are no good after 10 years." The machine has performed as the designer intended but a faulty wiring loom is dangerous and costing me money. Not them.

Bought an Asko dishwasher 7 years ago. Began to rust at the front within a few months. Front replaced (Supposed to be stainless steel for goodness sake). Some time later the surrounds around the dials showed rust. Sent photos to Asko who said it was from using harsh abrasives, which was rubbish. This month, after very little use over the 7 years (in fact, wasn't used much at all) it began leaking from the front bottom corner. Repairman said the seam was split and was unrepairable. Very disappointed to say the least. First and last Asko product I will EVER buy.

We renovated our house and put in two brand new Asko dishwashers. The day we moved in, the appliances both broke down. Asko replaced them within a couple of days. 1.4 years later, the replacements have each broken down multiple times and required new control panels. The parts take a long time to get so a wait of a month or more is normal. This is the worst appliance purchase we have ever made. I will never again buy an Asko product.

I have 6 of these machine at my work and I figured out what is wrong with these things. They build up of lent inside the heating ventilation systems that just go within itself. The fan motor seizes and so does the bearings making it unable to rotate. Thank you. Shawn **

I have 3 homes. My favorite is the Fisher & Paykel drawers. Efficient. The deep drawers hold everything. Large pots and tall wine glasses. The Asko will Not hold tall glasses. The silverware basket is not deep enough to hold silverware. And the start time of 2 to 4 sec is not enough. It was recommended by Sub-Zero which I am a huge fan. A KitchenAid would be better. If I could I would replace this piece of junk. Very disappointed in Dallas!!!

Our builder installed Asko dishwasher from Sub-Zero, it had broken soap dispenser. It took them 3 weeks to replace it, then 2 months later start button quit working and it took another 3 weeks to get it replaced.

Overall the Asko washer and dryer we have is incredibly perfect. They are reliable and fit neat in a 2'x2' space stacked. The only complaint is that they are super expensive and expensive to repair. For example, we needed to repair the dryer and the installation of a simple fan belt cost $600.

Water stays in bottom of washer after a run through. Water doesn’t completely drain. Mainly in cup at bottom. Has anyone had that problem? Is it normal? That’s after a load run through. It is an older Asko. I have turner off breaker for 30 seconds. And, have run through with vinegar and hot water. Checked catcher for residue. Checked drain pipe. Any ideas?

My dishwasher caught fire in the middle of the night on February 8th 2018... 10 months later and we still have not heard from them as to what the cause was. The dishwasher was supposed to be jointly dismantled by my insurance company and Asko. Asko is missing in action. They will not return any calls or send a representative. I had to get my children out in -15 weather when it caught fire... Our builders and insurance company were the only ones that have helped us. DO NOT BUY from ASKO.

It has a little tray to put sharp knives in. You can wash top or bottom shelf. The silverware basket can be removed-easier to put the silverware away. Dishes have always come out clean!

We bought an Asko dishwasher 2 years ago and it has failed to wash dishes properly since new. We have been trying to seek a resolution for this problem for years and have been fobbed off with a list of reasons for why the problems exist. On the first callout, the technician altered the water level. They have said that Asko deliberately set water levels low so Asko can get a better water efficiency rating. We have been told that Asko is not made for Australian conditions, they have suggested that we use too little or too much powder, there may be blockages or twists in hoses. Apparently they found fault in the motherboard which was changed, now they say it is the heating module. NONE of these fixes have solved the problem and the service department are difficult to get hold of and one was actually rude. At this point, we would definitely not recommend buying an Asko dishwasher.

This is a seriously overpriced machine (Asko Dishwasher) for what it does -- and doesn't do! It's not as quiet as a Bosch, it doesn't clean as well as a Kitchen Aid. Worst of all, reliability and service are through the floor -- it malfunctions, the servicemen don't know how to fix it, even with error codes, they scratch and dent it when they attempt repairs, and replacement parts take forever. I have had to wait two weeks for an uncertain repair. You may think these are made in Sweden, but they're actually made in Slovenia, as a result of a bankruptcy (well deserved) of the original company. I HATE my ASKO, the manufacturer, and the service people! AVOID THIS BRAND!!!

We bought an ASKO W6884 ECO washing machine which worked well until just over two years old and out of warranty, it started making slits in clothing amid a loud squeaking noise. I contacted ASKO who sent a service man costing $100, he telling me that the machine needed a new drive belt which would take a few days and cost $200. When he rang to return with this part, he asked me to disconnect the machine and have it ready for him, out from the cabinetry where I'd paid ASKO to install it when we bought it. I declined, politely telling him that it was his job.

Expensive and until now reliable 5 year old Asko W6444 front loading washing machine (purchased Oct. 2012). In May 2017 the gap seal burst out of machine door while machine was on. Contacted Asko to request a technician to come out. I explained what had happened. Person on phone said "we know about that problem". He said there is a Youtube video that we can watch explaining how to replace the seal ourselves and that way save a technician coming out. I asked if perhaps the seal had now stretched and might come off again. He said "it is a bit of a design fault". We watched the video and couldn't do it. Rang them again. The woman said we would have to pay for a technician to come out. I said "That's unfair because I was told it was a design fault". She repeated that we would have to pay. We needed the machine fixed and so I said "Alright, we'll pay in the first instance but I will take it further".

We have done everything including having the rep visit our home and our Asko dishwasher either fails to dry the dishes or the detergent holder fails to open. This is our second Asko. The old one performed flawlessly for several years before finally wearing out. The new one is terrible and we cannot recommend it even though the company has tried to rectify the issues up to but NOT including replacing the unit. We will never buy another Asko appliance.

My oven is five years old. The interior light exploded when the door was opened while the oven was off. This required a replacement light. The tech came, replaced the light. Went to leave and I asked him why the light would now not turn off. After much fiddling he decided the motherboard was faulty and would need to be replaced. Have waited six weeks to be told they no longer supply spare parts for the oven. I have to buy a new one which they will discount. How amazing that a five year old appliance cannot be repaired. I'll never buy Asko again.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY ASKO APPLIANCES. ASKO are Cheat and will make you pay for after sales service, even if it covered under their warranty. As a lay person, we don't know what they have done, and they charge claiming this is not covered by warranty, claiming these particular repairs Not covered. Unfortunately Fair Trading also couldn't do anything. Once Again--Boycott ASKO.

In March 2015 I purchased an ASKO Dishwasher D5644. Purchase Date 23-3-15. Invoice ** from Domain Warrawong Sales person Robin. My ASKO dishwasher was delivered with front door damaged. I tried to contact the delivery guy to immediately return to my home and take my damaged dishwasher but wasnt able to contact him. After endless phone calls, emails to ASKO to supply me with a whole new dishwasher as a package in good working condition and quality, Sales Co-ordinator Rachael ** notified me via email that I will be only getting a replacement door panel. That Regional Appliances will be in touch to replace the door. I wasnt granted new dishwasher which I was terribly upset about.

We decided to spend $2000 on a dishwasher for quality and a product that would last. This was not the case with ASKO! The dishwasher failed just after the two year mark. Our local ASKO serviceman came out and said the circuit board was broken and possibly the pump and he would look into replacements. The company did not call back, after two months I phoned them to ask what was being done, they said they would look into it and call back. I have not heard back from them, this business is called APTCO. Our issues were also logged with ASKO which they have done nothing about. So disappointed in this company and the product! A higher price tag does not get quality, customer support, and service.

This machine died after 5 years but started breaking down after 4 years. ASKO provided me with a new control board after I complained but the machine stopped working after 5 weeks. ASKO sent a repairman to my house to fix the machine but despite his belief that he had fixed it, he hadn't. I have seen many complaints on the internet about this model. I gather it has been withdrawn. ASKO make no attempt to compensate people for selling a substandard product.

When I first bought this item, the dashboard was faulty giving me an F4 signal, when there was no problem with the water supply. The next problem I had was the spinning. The washer would stop spinning. I booked a services, the guy took over 2 hours to fix it. Paid over $200 for the service. When he leaves the spinning is fixed and washer starts making noises. I call him up and he tells me the noise will go in a few days when whatever it is inside will go down the coin whole. Well the noise didn't go and guess what my washer isn't spinning any more less than two months after the service. So I call him up wanting to know answers and how typical it is of him to say I need to book another service.

We replaced a cheap 20 year old Kenmore dishwasher to upgrade to a stainless, expensive ASKO dishwasher # 5233. The old dishwasher worked perfectly but we bought the Asko as recommended by the P.C. Richard & Son salesman and we liked the idea of Swedish made vs Asian built. Well since day one it's been a complete disappointment. We have had repairmen in and they find nothing to repair. It's due to a design flaw. I even put the extended post cycle on to give more cleaning time and that doesn't help. I would strongly suggest to anyone buying a new dishwasher NOT to buy Asko.

Purchased ASKO front loading washing machine W6444 in April 2013 at a cost of $1499. Only 2 1/2 years old and a part of the front door cover flew off whilst on a spin cycle. A large crack has now appeared on the door. The detergent dispenser also leaks. Contacted ASKO on their 1300 number but was given the run around and disconnected. Followed up with an email to ASKO Australia explaining the problem but have received no response even though their website guarantees same day or next day response. Would never purchase another ASKO product.

We purchased washer, dryer, dishwasher. All of these appliances stopped working within five years. The cost to repair washer, $600.00 to start. Dryer $500.00, dishwasher still waiting for estimate. Have decided to simply purchase new products from a different manufacturer. Would never, never, never again purchase this brand. ASKO appliances are totally unreliable.

Terrible experience with Asko D5233. So disappointed in this dishwasher. We purchased it due to salesperson recommendation and a general appreciation for Swedish-made products. Our dishwasher needed multiple repairs within the first year - the only Asko-approved repair company came out and claimed there was nothing wrong, but we could see that there was food left on plates and major spotting. Repair person blamed it on the fact that the hot water took too long to get to the washer. Ridiculous, but we ran the hot water at the sink until it was hot, then ran the dishwasher and we got the same results.

We purchased an induction hotplate and oven 4 yrs. ago and have had numerous things go wrong with the left side of the hotplate. This happened even from the first day of installation and all we had from Asko was repair instead of replacing a faulty product. And now it has gone wrong again with the left side and the cost is in excess of $700. This is not what was expected with this company and is not good customer relations.

I bought a dishwasher in November 2015. In March 2015 the pump stop and the water stay in the dishwasher. I call for "service" and After 4 times the dishwasher isn't repair. The service is very poor. 3 months passed and I'm still waiting for a useful dishwasher. Never again...

ASKO dishwasher came with the home we bought. I cannot wait for it to die and because of that it will probably work forever to spite me. It does not clean dishes/glasses on top or bottom racks... silverware is spotty. The supporting prongs on the bottom rack are not tall enough to support plates or bowls so they are constantly falling onto each other cutting off water/soap flow. Only thing good is the availability of doubling the cup racks on the upper rack. I will not ever buy an ASKO anything.

Washer/dryer set are 5 years old. Washer has broken 3 times (Twice the magnet component on the drum broke and once the latch had a short in the switch and wouldn't start). All three of the repairs were under warranty but all took a week or more to be fixed. Now the dryer is broken. Faulty gas valve. No longer under warranty. I wouldn't recommend Asko appliances to anyone.

W6221 - Bought the washer in 12/2001 for the internal heater and temp settings. In 5/2007 it stopped working, did not spin. Ended up replaced, level switch Board Control and Motor for a cost of $653.00. 2/2015 it stopped working on every cycle. Push the start button and only hear a click, nothing else happens except the door lock releases when pushed. This model does not have a led display so no error codes are displayed.

We spent $1000 - bought a Rangehoods from Asko end of Dec last year. It broke down in 20 days. We have called Asko how many times...They can't fix it, they would keep on telling you to get the replacement only after their manager approved. When? No time schedule for you at all. Ask more? They are getting angry with you. We paid $1000 for a nightmare. Our house has been off the Rangehoods for 4 weeks and never know how far we still need to go. My brand new kitchen is getting yellow and my ceiling is changing colour. We have no choice because we bought an ASKO product.

We replaced our old ~10 yr dishwasher because some rust was beginning in it, with a new ~1000 dollar Asko dishwasher... if I could get the old dishwasher back, I would. The Asko dishwasher will probably rank high in all categories except for one, it does not wash the dishes very good. Yes, it is quiet; yes it uses less water; but it does not clean your dishes very well * AND * it takes a LONG time doing a bad dish washing job too (2.5 to 3.5 hours). Unless you are the type that pre-washes your dishes good before you put them in the dishwasher, then this dishwasher is not for you.

Purchased new 8/4/14 model d5893, ser #084301766667. Installed ~8/11/14. Worked the 1st time when installer checked it out. Not worked since 1st tech suggested new tech because he couldn't for 2 weeks. Took another wk for #2 tech. Part back-ordered, heard nothing for 1 week. Will it ever work?

Just had my Asko D55254 dishwasher installed. It took a month to order it - the type where you install the wood panel over the door. My appliance store assured me it would be very quiet. Imagine my dismay when he installed it and started it up and it's almost as loud as the 12 year old dishwasher I replaced. My daughter's Kenmore makes no sound. I thought a $1300 Asko would be just as quiet. Big mistake. Now I'm told if I want to spend another $600 I can upgrade to a Miele. I will never buy an Asko again and if I know of anyone who is thinking of getting one I will invite them to my house to listen to the loud noise it makes. It's a shame stores don't have appliances hooked up so you can actually hear them before you purchase them.

I booked and called to have my dishwasher and oven fixed. The dishwasher was not draining. The serviceman found that there was a blockage in the first 15 minutes. He then spent another hour and a half on it testing it for a leak, which it did not have. He was deliberately wasting time. He then went to fix my oven and took out the fuse, demanded a plastic bag, put the fuse in the bag and snapped it in half. He then said he could not fix it today and the office would call. He added that they will tell me that they would not have parts but I was not to mention that he had said this. He said, that they would offer for me to buy a new oven.

I bought an Asko W6884 washing machine approximately 1 year, 1.5 years ago. The first one was leaking water, the door did not close properly. Asko sent the technician twice then changed it. No drama. The second started to do a squeaky noise and sounded like a spring inside just broke after a couple of months. The technician came again, few months later same story. After 4 technicians visits, Asko replaced it with a new one. No drama. The new one started to do the same squeaky noise, the technician came once, few weeks later same noise.

I am a backyard tech so do my own repairs on most things. Bought Asko D3122 Dishwasher 3.5 Years ago. Within 18 months drain hose had split. Drain hose from Asko twice the price of non-genuine Bunnings knockoff. Replaced Hose. Now at 3.5 years the power cord fried at the plug. Replaced plug - fixed it. 5 days later no power at all. Checked wiring behind kickplate and found float switch plug burnt out (after research I believe this seems to be a common problem that will eventually take out the main board in most instances in this model).

Asko dishwasher model D3250 - I have read the poor reviews for the Asko dishwasher and I am so empathetic, but my experience is totally different. I loved the Asko washer and dryer my sister owned, so when we purchased a 2-year-old home (1999), we upgraded all of the appliances. We chose Asko for the washer, dryer and dishwasher. We did not have experienced service in the Ann Arbor MI area, so this was frustrating for the problems encountered with the washer/dryer (replaced the mother board on the dryer when it wasn't drying - only to discover the lint trap needed RINSING in water to maintain performance - not in the manual). The belt on the dryer needed replacing once - still works.

The asko appliances are inherited from the rich guy we bought the house from. We thought we were very lucky to get a house full of high end stuff but in all honest the performance is not anything special at all. If that were the only problem and the green story is where they hung their hat. Maybe we would be fans but the dishwasher does not do a good job of cleaning compared with other dishwashers I have had in my life that are more typical brands and the main problem is that when they are serviced the parts take forever to be received. The fix doesn't last very long and now at 8 years old the parts have been discontinued and are no longer available. The company was bought out by sub zero/wolf parent who thinks high end appliances are a good thing but not a good enough thing to keep going with parts. I will never again buy anything with the name asko, sub zero or wolf on it. Their idea of customer service is telling you politely to stick it in your ear.

Bought a gorgeous stackable titanium ASKO washer/dryer in May of 2013. By December the dryer was whistling a high pitched squeal. Turns out the belt was already a problem. We took the time to hunt down the proper warranty repair folks. They didn't have a replacement belt. They told us it would be at least three weeks for the belt to arrive. The washer is amazing and does a great job. We like the dryer as well - except for the whistle from the bad belt and the very loud performance altogether. Part of the reason we bought this model is that it is supposedly made for small spaces. But why would they design a product that floods its space with what sounds like a gigantic hair dryer? We have to leave the house to dry clothes because the dryer is SO loud. And the bad belt/whistle? Unbearable!

3 Askos. First was workhorse for 15 years. Second died under 5, and could not get parts. Liked construction and quiet operation, so paid $$$$ for ASKO 5894 top of the line. QUIT 9 days after installed. Customer service takes 15 minutes to answer. Top of the line prices, bottom of the barrel quality and service. Stay away.

The Asko dishwasher was sold to us as a 'premium, high end' product but the reality has been that it is inferior in its cleaning capabilities and we continually have problems with adequate drying as well as stagnant water sitting in the bottom drain. I contacted Asko who insisted that it is the dishwasher detergents in the US (same as I had used for years with previous dishwashers with no problems) and that I needed to occasionally run a cycle with vinegar to clean it out - which I do but to no avail. I highly recommend against this brand of dishwasher and will never again own one myself.

We bought the stainless steel Dishwasher in November 2010. The first day's use had us with a leak of water on the floor and in the electronics compartment. ASKO wanted me to buy a Torx screwdriver and do the repairs. It is a machine with a guarantee, ergo, I said no. The service organization wanted me to pay for service, and I said no. Eventually, the machine dried up and the electronics began working again. Now in the third year, the machine has failed. The control board has failed. I phoned and wrote ASKO USA for a diagram of the machine. They did send one for the front door, but not the diagram of the location of the control board (which has failed). Their product is no longer sold in Montreal. We have no distributor and all parts have to come from afar (USA, Sweden, etc.). The machine is quiet, and when it worked, washed well, and was at a premium so that we could/would not have a noisy washing machine. There is no service for the product. There is a very polite telephone answering service, but no follow up. This company acts as if it is bankrupt. Lack of product support is why I would never recommend or buy another ASKO product.

We purchased our first Asko dishwasher 10 years ago. We burned out 2 circuit boards and a pump motor. It also leaked and wrecked the wood flooring in front of unit. We called dealer, they offered $100 toward a new one. We called Roth our area distributor. They offered 500 off a new one, which is not half but thought better than wrecking our new floor. So now we are at 6 years on second washer. We had a service tech out and this one has $850 worth of work needed. It leaked and took out pump motor and main circuit board again. It is very disappointing. 1150 for 2 dishwashers not to last more than 5 years each.

Purchased an Asko dishwasher as part of a major remodel. Wanted high grade appliances Subzero refer, Bluestar range Asko dishwasher. $2k spent on dishwasher has broken down 7 times. Asked on breakdown 6 and 7 for a replacement and that was refused. Will simply replace it. Junk. Strongly advise all consumers to avoid this brand.

Do not buy any Asko products. The dishwasher does not clean; the machine will break. The washing machine motor will burn out in one year and Asko will not provide any help!

We own an ASKO dishwasher. It is the worst dishwasher we have ever owned. All the glasses on the top rack have a fine grit on them after being washed in the dishwasher. All dishes must be almost hand washed before they are out into the dishwasher, or they will have the food particles on them after washing. The top rack is terrible. Dishes just do not get clean on the top rack. The racks on the bottom are constantly falling down. When we initially got the dishwasher, we had pasta and sauce for dinner. Of course the salesperson said that we didn't need to and shouldn't rinse the dishes before they went into the dishwasher... Well, all the dishes came out with a fine layer of sauce on them! The dishes then had to be taken out, scrubbed and put back in the dishwasher! This is a TERRIBLE dishwasher, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

I purchased an Asko washer/dryer combo on 11/26/10, registered warranty on 1/20/11. Unit needed repair within 1 year. I called service tech (after getting approval from Asko). No problem. Within days, it needed another repair. It took over 2 months as Asko had to send the part. Now, we are on #3 repair. It's been almost 3 months and I have no working unit. Today, Asko says our warranty is not valid, yet our initial call (3 or so months ago!) involved a repair person coming out, Asko telling us and the tech they were sending the parts, and an offer to basically rebuild the unit. No repairs have happened.

Worst dishwasher I have ever owned! I have tried to file defects with Asko and all they have are excuses. My dishes are never clean. It is the most expensive drying rack I have ever owned. All I do is hand wash my dishes and let it dry in the dishwasher.

We purchased an Asko SS dishwasher Model D1876 10 years ago for $980 and have had nothing but problems with it. It first started on fire (the motherboard needed to be replaced), approximately 4 leaking issues, 2 overflow issues, thermostat replacement, cycling issues (machine would never turn off). Last month, we had another overflow and leaking issue and as soon as that was repaired, the motherboard went bad again just last week. Asko was called by our authorized repair company and they were told that the motherboard was no longer a part they were making or backing. Asko told our repairman to tell us, "Just go buy another dishwasher." Really? Who makes a product and stops making replacement parts for it? What are my options with this company?

My parents bought a "top of the range" Asko Front Loader Washing Machine. It continually broke down with problems to the door. The machine became a safety issue as the machine keeps running even when the Front door is open. Finally, I received a call back from Asko several months after first complaining. The new service manager took ownership and sent a serviceman to check the machine. Rang me and said we'll replace the useless parts but you pay labor of $190. If I didn't like that, he'd send the serviceman away and it'll be a $99 call out fee to inspect their broken down washer. That's not service, simply revenue raising.

Asko dishwasher - My advice, just don't buy one. Nothing but trouble from installation through numerous repairs. Plus, it never was really quiet nor did a good job of cleaning. Now even though the dishwasher is less than 10 years old, they no longer make spare parts for it. Who makes a premium product and then stops making spare parts?

I paid premium and bought the ASKO dishwasher from Pacific Sales. Once you pay your money, you are at their mercy! It’s hard to schedule installation at their pleasure. The dishwasher constantly malfunctions - it leaks and won’t stop beeping. When they come to fix the beep, they make the pump stop working. The dealer, the manufacturer, and the repair person - none of them take responsibility and each one wants you to call the other.

I bought it on 8/20/2010 at Corning Building Co. Corning, NY 14830. I had gas fumes and H7 alarm displayed. I replaced the regulator, it worked for a while. Same thing happened a few months later. I replaced the same part. A few months later, gas fumes in laundry room and H7 alarm. Also, I had Corning Natural Gas verify pressure on two occasions. This happened a fourth time with gas fumes in the house, H7 alarm. This time, they replaced the ignitor on April 13, 2011. Now we have the same alarm and gas fumes for the fifth time. I asked for replacement or refund past three times, but they have refused.

Our model 1876 Asko dishwasher started on fire and burned a hole through the door panel. We were lucky my wife smelled the smoke and called the fire department. A fireman said another few minutes the whole kitchen would have been in flames. Asko's response, "Don't bother us as the washer is no longer under warranty." An apology may have been appropriate.

I bought my original ASKO washing machine and dryer in 1998. They lasted until 2008 with barely a repair. I was so pleased that I replaced them with another pair. In four years, I have had 1 dryer repair and I have now just had the washer serviced and it needs a new pump again! Because I didn't register my units within 90 days, I only got 2 years of warranty, instead of 3 years. Strange that they punish you a whole year just for not sending the card in promptly!

We purchased an Asko dishwasher in August 2009, thinking that we had a 3-year warranty. Today, March 2012, the dishwasher is in need of repair for standing water, and when I called for company service, they told me that my unit is not under warranty. The company requires that you register your appliance within 90 days in order to receive the third year of coverage. Because I did not register within the 90-day period, I will have to pay for a service call. The supervisor at customer service said that this is their policy and there was nothing she can do about it.

I bought a washer and dryer, that was bought second hand from a reputable Asko dealer. It was still within its warranty period. After 5 days of usage, the washer quit working. I called Asko, and for two days, they asked for sales receipts, had the installer go out and check and make sure it was all hooked up, and verify it was not a user or install problem. It took 2-3 days to re-register the product. Then when it came time to actually do the work, they said it was not under warranty, because the original purchaser had not registered it within 90 days of purchase. I talked with a supervisor as well, and all they did was say it was policy, policy, policy, like they were robots. If this was the problem, why did they waste 2-3 days of our time, and have people go out and check things out?

I bought an ASKO dishwasher and it broke after three or four wash loads. The entire microprocessor went out. I wanted a refund. They refuse and say that they don't have to take the dishwasher back because the warranty states that they can repair it. It seems to me that if a company sells a defective product, they should be willing to take it back for a refund. Their "customer relations" person was condescending and treated me horribly. Ugh.

My Asko is not even 6 years old and I have been told by my repair men that I need to replace the control board at a cost of $400. I thought this was a top of the line but this is not the first repair on this dishwasher. My last GE dishwasher lasted 15 years with no problems. The only thing high on this high-end product is the price.

I bought what I thought was supposed to be a top of the line dishwasher. It cleans sometimes. The glasses come out dirtier than they went in. Food sticks on the dishes, etc. Asko does not care about the client. The water is not hot enough. The pipe is the problem, they always find a reason to blame the client instead of the product. I had a 15 year old dishwasher and then a Maytag that lasted many years without a problem. I will never buy another Asko item.

My top and bottom racks in my Asko dishwasher are rusting and the pegs are breaking off. It is 7-1/2 years old and was supposed to be a top of the line dishwasher. It will cost $300 to replace the racks! My GE dishwasher in my old house was still there when I sold the house 17 years later, without repairs to the DW. Currently, there is an ad from my local dealer offering an $849 Bosch dishwasher for $499. Why would I ever replace the Asko racks when I can get the new Bosch? Why would I even consider buying or recommending an Asko to anyone if Asko doesn't stand behind their product? What is this company thinking? As a business owner, I understand the importance of customer satisfaction and word of mouth advertising.

This is my 6th Asko washer since our original purchase. Thank goodness we have an awesome additional insurance. After last replacement, Asko offered us 3 days to give us $400.00 to get rid of us for our $1500.00 machine, which we refused. Yes, they replaced the machines that many times. But why did these machines not hold up? Shouldn’t they be required to continue coverage? We should still have 4 years on the recent Asko washer. We have no company backup. The service for the additional warranty is covering for another 6 months. The bearing is going now. Every time I need service, I’m without a machine for a month. I’m really frustrated with Asko’s material.

I bought a package washing machine and dryer with the ironing board included. I bought it from Retravision who told us that it was a new model, so we bought it after the sales person said that Asko is very reliable and we wouldn't have any problems. It was only a month in and already the washing machine was playing up; we put up with the problem for a couple of months but became unbearable. Now, the dryer isn't spinning and one problem after the next. We then find out from the service people that the units we bought were actually four years old stock; not what we were told when we purchased them.

After only two years of minimal use, our Asko dishwasher is no longer functional. It has stopped pumping water. I've learned that it is a common problem that the pump stops working. It was supposed to be an expensive, "high-end" machine and we paid a great deal for what we thought was a well-made dishwasher. In comparison, we have previously purchased a Bosch dishwasher for the same price and after 15 years, it is still working perfectly.

Two weeks ago, we ordered a small part for our Asko dishwasher. We were told it would be in our home in NJ in 4 business days, which would have the part to us on Friday. The price to ship the small part was $18! Why? Because Asko claims to have a special deal with UPS. On Friday, the part did not arrive. We called but the parts department was already closed - an hour earlier than its posted hours.

I bought the Asko 3251 model dishwasher when I had my house built. I've had to make more service calls on it than the $200 Kenmore dishwasher in my very first home.

I have a washer (W6903) and the control panel stopped working properly. I called ASKO back in April to have it fixed. That started a series of frustrating events that has me here today in August, with my machine still not working. They had me set an appointment with a local repair service (American Home Products - Los Angeles). They came out and confirmed that the panel needed to be replaced and then tried to extract non-warranty payments for knobs. I complained and they backed off from that, but said they may need to replace knobs when they replaced the panel but that would be on them. They finally go the part, replaced it and then broke the knob.

I have had an Asko dishwasher for nine years. It has had several needed repairs and now appears to be at the end of its life. Water collects under the floor of the appliances and causes error messages and a pump that won't shut off. Nobody in my area (St. Paul, MN) can fix this. Asko help line requires long waits. There is a quick fix; taking the bottom panel off and drying out the underneath parts, but the problem comes right back during the next wash. I cautioned anyone about buying an Asko dishwasher.

On Saturday, 11/27/2010, my Asko dishwasher model **** caught fire. The pc board was damaged. I contacted Asko and I was told to get a technician to inspect and photo damage. The technician did that and forwarded results to Asko. The parts are no longer available and Asko refuses to replace the unit. The dishwasher is included in CPSC recall number ****. Do I have any recourse?

Every three to four months, my washer goes on the blink. My dryer takes over an hour to dry a simple load. I will sell this washer and dryer for $450

We bought a dishwasher in 2004. It has given us numerous problems. Every time we order a new part, it takes about 2 months to get it. Right now we are waiting for a part that is on back order.

I have an Asko washing machine purchased inMmarch 2007. In May 2010, the washer shut down in the middle of a white cycle on the highest water temperature. It lost all power and we couldn't even get the door open to get the clothes out. The machine was just two months out of warranty, so Asko covered the parts and labor with one-time "concession" for an out-of-warranty repair. Now, three months later, the washer has done the same thing. It overheated and shut down in the middle of a white cycle.

The D 5233 dishwasher was bought from the Great Doors of Houston, Texas around the first of December. The cost for this machine was a lot more than the other brands because it was supposed to be so great. This machine came with a big blue mark on the door and it would not come off, so they sent a new door and a company nearby came and put it on. The machine has not worked right. It filled up with water and would not pump it out ;the technician said that it was probably the pump, so we got a authorization number. The man was supposed to work on it and got it running. But now water won't come in the machine.

I purchased an Asko dishwasher model D3122 and it stopped working with water pooling in bottom. I called Asko and followed their instructions to clean out the bottom and run again, which still did not work. I was given names of service people to call to come and fix the machine (long distance calls also at my expense). No one will service Asko products.

I now have Asko washer and Dryer appliances that have stopped working about two years after I bought them. And these were the top models of the line. I got the washer motor replaced once by Asko and I had to buy another later on. The tub vibrated terribly when it worked. I also replaced the electronics control. It still did not work properly. The dryer is just as bad. I gave up and bought Kenmore. I do not recommend Asko appliances. They are a lot of hype. I spent over $600.00 to get these monstrosities to work to no avail.

Having paid a considerable amount for these "high-end" appliances, we have been very disappointed in their performance (or lack thereof). We have, since brand new, had continuous problems with our dryer. There has been a smoking smell in the clothing and we determined that lint was being trapped in the back of the dryer and was actually catching fire. After numerous service calls, the fix was to put a piece of duct tape over holes that were designed into the machine to do who knows what. Asko apparently was aware of the problem but failed to notify consumers or service personnel. Due to the difficulty in getting service (their service network is terrible), the poor attitude of those with whom we spoke at Asko, the money spent and the real possibility that we could have burned our house down, we decided, when our Asko washer broke down after 4 years, to throw it out and get a Whirlpool Duet with which we are very happy.

I have an Asko dishwasher which was purchased brand new in 2004. In July of this year, it broke. I contacted the company and they put me in touch with an Asko certified repairman. I called the repairman to come out. He explained that he doesn't like to work on these because he has a hard time with the company. Assured him it would not be difficult. He came to my house, diagnosed the problem and attempted to order the part from my home. He did not have his 4 digit authorization code with him, so they would not let him order the part. This went on and on with excuses why the part not being ordered ranged from no authorization code to me having to call and file a claim.

I received $150 to trash my dish washer instead of repair under a recall for fire hazard. I bought another ASKO that was promoted with $100 rebate. I called before Buying to assure that it will qualify for both rebates. The sales person in the store also checked and verified that I should get both. Asko did not allow the rebate.

I received the recall notice from Asko on dishwashers, that is posted in your website.

I (through my builder) bought an Asko washer and dryer summer of 1999. I moved in to my new home 2 days after labor day, 1999; that's when the appliances first started in use. Within three months, the dryer stopped working. I called Few apliances (704-588-1690)at that time and subsequent to then. A couple of months later (about 3/00) the washer broke; apparently a fuse. @ 3 months later, again the washer, this time the electronic circuitry board.
