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 its been a complete disappointment. We have had repairmen in and they find nothing to repair. Its due to a design flaw. I even put the extended post cycle on to give more cleaning time and that doesnt help. I would strongly suggest to anyone buying a new dishwasher NOT to buy Asko.

We were talked into buying an Asko dishwasher by the salesman at the Good Guys. NEVER AGAIN!! Despite being one of the dearest I’ve had nothing but trouble with it. First the dishes were coming out as dirty as they went in, and used to have to put rinse aid in every few days. Technician came and fiddled around. Apparently I have to wash the dishes before they go in - my mistake I thought this was the job of the machine. Then instead of putting the tablet in the tablet compartment, this machine seems to work better when you throw the tablet straight into the machine. Anyway. Told to use only the ‘hygiene’ setting which I have been doing and now seems to work better. Still doesn’t dry plastic but hey… It’s cleaning at least. Now, the dishwasher does not turn on at all. On the phone with ‘service’ department - in POSITION 20!!!! Will never again touch an Asko product with a 20 foot pole!!!!

Asko dishwasher - My advice, just dont 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?

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.

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.

I really needed a new dishwasher. I work late nights and never have the time to keep my dishes clean so I really needed the extra help so I got this lovely Asko. It cleans everything well and my life definitely feels much easier now

Had an old dishwasher which had some issue, called up customer service and they were very rude and uncooperative. Called them thrice for some issues and got all three different consultants and all of them are the same. The attitude was If you want it take it else leave it.

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 dont 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.

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. On Monday, no part came. We called again. They stated that the part would be with us no later than Tuesday, end of the day. Can we get a tracking number? No, Asko responded, We dont give out that information. Tuesday comes and goes. Wednesday, still no part came. Thursday morning, we called again. They put me on hold to contact UPS and discovered that the part went to New Mexico. At this point, my dishwasher has been broken for weeks. Their response was, Sorry for your frustration. I state that the mistake was made on their part and that I want the part shipped overnight. At $18 for shipping, its ridiculous not to have the part in two days! They could have shipped it through priority mail and given better service for a fraction of the cost. Their response was, Asko will let UPS know that that is what youd like. I stated back, No, I wanted Asko to direct them to ship the part overnight or ship a new part directly from the warehouse overnight. This was their mistake. Again, their response was that they contacted UPS in New Mexico and had let them know that we want the part overnight. At this point, I asked to speak to a supervisor, the person said, She isnt here, but Ill take your number and shell call you back. I received no phone call. This isnt the first experience Ive had with Asko. It will be the last. I wouldnt recommend them at all. Their level of customer care is horrible.

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?

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. The belt on the dryer needed replacing once - still works.

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.

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.

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. Askos response, Dont bother us as the washer is no longer under warranty. An apology may have been appropriate.

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.

Very nice dishwasher. It is much quieter and cleans better than the kitchen aid we replaced.

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.

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.

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 would like to know-- why does this policy exist? The warranty should be determined by the purchase date and not on an arbitrary designation based on sending in a postcard. Secondly, many customers, including my self, are resistant to sending their information to a company when there is no apparent need for it. I perceive this 90-day registration to be an excuse to collect marketing information, and I resent that Asko is putting this policy above the principle of taking care of their customers.

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.Since then I have had Regional Appliances attend to my faulty dishwasher on 3 separate occasions. 16th Feb - Due to the control panel not working. The technician reset my dishwasher (never opened the control Panel) then worked for a further 6 weeks. 4th April Due to Control Panel not working (never opened the control Panel). Regional Appliance technician visited my home and the panel work immediately for him.On the 4th April was told via phone call Sharon from Regional Appliances if their technician is to come out again and the control panel is working that I would be charged for this visit. A control panel was ordered by Regional Appliances but sent back to Asko supplier 3 months later. Between 4th April and 15th November 2016 last visit from regional Appliances. I have been turning my dishwasher off at the wall for a day or days until the dishwasher (control Panel) happens to come on. As I was reluctant to call Regional Appliances, I didnt want to be charged if it works for the Technician.The last visit from the RA Technician I explained to him that it created an unsafe environment with a huge, loud noise early in the unawaken morning with smoke and smell. He then proceeded to try and take the door off with no luck. He then proceeded to try and take the front panel off with screwdrivers and a lot of hard pulling and damage to the inside of door. I then left him to himself as my husband is a tradesman and says he hates people watching him. Within seconds he had his bag and told me it had cockroach damage.

I have had nothing but problems with my new ASKO dishwasher. It was only 3 years old when F11 kept showing up, which indicates a drainage issue. we had a repairman come in and their was no blockage, we changed the pump still did not fix the problem. After spending hours on hold to the call center, number of times being hanged up on and no call back, purchased a new computer board for the dishwasher, which only worked for 5 months, after calling another 3 times, 2 of which I was disconnected from after over 20min on hold, was told the part is no longer under warranty and the only way to fix it is to get their service people out and replace the part which could cost up to $400. Best decision I have made through all this is to throw it out and NEVER BUY ASKO AGAIN!!!

Its always disheartening when you buy something and it doesnt perform to its expected level. But even when 3 different repairmen tell you all they do is fix these kind of products repeatedly in different customers homes and their product is not up to the standards of standard dishwashers then you know youve made a mistake buying it. In our case our dishwasher has never since day one clean the dishes thoroughly and has never ever dried the dishes and weve had 4 service calls well over $1200. Still have not had satisfaction. I guess its our fault buying a dishwasher from a country that is not known to produce products of this level or at all would highly want anybody to buy a local dishwasher from their appliance store or even Home depot with a name they know and trust like GE that has been a standard in the industry for years opposed to higher end appliances that dont perform at all.

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 isnt repair. The service is very poor. 3 months passed and Im still waiting for a useful dishwasher. Never again...

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 doesnt 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.

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.

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.

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!

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`ve been using this appliance for quite some time and I love it. It`s got multiple wash programs, all of them work perfectly. It`s quiet and spacious, I can fit a lot of dishes inside. Have no complains so far

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.

After only two years of minimal use, our Asko dishwasher is no longer functional. It has stopped pumping water. Ive 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.

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.

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 doesnt 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.

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.

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 didnt need to and shouldnt 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.

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.

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.

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 its almost as loud as the 12 year old dishwasher I replaced. My daughters Kenmore makes no sound. I thought a $1300 Asko would be just as quiet. Big mistake. Now Im 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. Its a shame stores dont have appliances hooked up so you can actually hear them before you purchase 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, wasnt 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.

I bought the Asko 3251 model dishwasher when I had my house built. Ive had to make more service calls on it than the $200 Kenmore dishwasher in my very first home. There have been constant problems with water not draining, water leaking under the machine, main board failure. The latest problem is the need to replace the diverter value. When I called Asko to complain about the large number of problems, they simply acted as if it wasnt their problem. No offer to help in any way.

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.

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!

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. Next the repair company suggested we had to first wash the dishes by hand and then put them in the dishwasher for a full cleaning. Complaints to Asko went absolutely nowhere. Asko refused to offer any solution. We spent over $800 on multiple repair visits and essentially gave up. We no longer use the dishwasher except as an overflow dish drainer to get our dishes dry.
