Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and water before accessing the pump.
- Listen for pump: After the dishwasher fills, you should hear a strong wash motor sound. A low hum or silence indicates a problem.
- Check for obstructions: Remove filters and inspect the sump for foreign objects blocking the pump inlet.
- Access circulation pump: From the bottom, locate the Asko circulation pump. Remove it and inspect the impeller for debris. Clean and ensure it spins freely.
- Test motor: Measure resistance across the pump motor terminals. Replace the pump if open or seized.
- If pump is good but not powered: The main control board may not be sending power to the pump and likely needs replacement.
