How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing the control panel.

  • Check child lock: Refer to the Asko manual for the key combination to toggle the control lock (often holding specific buttons for several seconds). Disable it and try again.
  • Reset program: Turn the program selector to Off, wait 30 seconds, then select a simple cycle and press Start.
  • Inspect UI panel: Remove the top and front control panel to access the user interface board. Check for loose ribbon cables or connectors.
  • Test Start button: With a multimeter, test the Start/Pause switch for continuity when pressed. Replace the UI board if the switch is defective or if there is visible board damage.
