Asko Temperature Regulation / Cycling Thermostat Fault

Dryer runs but clothes come out wrinkled and very hot, even on low heat settings.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Stuck-closed cycling thermostat, Faulty temperature sensor (NTC), Heater relay stuck on, Blocked exhaust reducing cycling

Safety first: Unplug the dryer.

Steps:

Check exhaust: Ensure the vent is clear so the thermostat can cycle properly.
Test cycling thermostat: Access the thermostat on the exhaust or heater housing and test for proper opening/closing at specified temperatures (requires heating and a multimeter). Replace if stuck closed.
Inspect control board: If the thermostat and sensor are good, the heater relay on the control board may be stuck, requiring board replacement.
