How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing pumps.

  • Determine source: Listen carefully to identify whether the noise occurs during wash (circulation pump) or drain (drain pump).
  • Check water level: Ensure the dishwasher is filling to the correct level; low water can cause cavitation noise.
  • Inspect pump impellers: Remove and inspect the relevant pump for debris or damage.
  • Replace noisy pump: If the pump spins freely but still squeals, the bearings are likely worn. Replace the affected Asko pump assembly.
