Asko D5436 Questions & Answers

Hi - I have found the same problem, and it may be damaging our new vinyl floor. Did you find a fix?

Hi Cath,
I cant see if you had a repy to this.
It is great to hear you are taking care of your investment. Water in the sump is quite normal. All brands of dishwasher will have water left under the filter grate after the final rinse. So dont worry about it.
If you are wondering how I can be so sure of this. I have been an account manager for Asko, Miele and F&P. I have worked in appliance retail for nearly 20 years.

I hope this reassures you.

Don't do it. We made the same mistake. The new asko's are terrible. We just got burned on a circuit board and now they won't even repair it.

Yes asko are rubbish quality selling at top end price not like old asko all rubbish today

Hi, I’m looking at this Asko or a Miele? Is the Asko all bad nowadays?

I am sorry but I personally have no idea, why this is happening. Have you checked the filters at the bottom. If it's only 6 months old then it should still be under warranty and you could call a technician

We have the white model. But I guess the functions are the same.
We found, as we are on tank water, and run a UV filter on all water that comes into the house, it can effect the way certain brands of dishwashing products work.
We have good success with Fairy and Finish brands....but only with the types in those brands that have the dissolving wrappers..Hard, solid tablets of any brand don't dissolve properly ....but we ARE on tank water!

I cannot comment on how the Asko works on normal town water..
If, after changing brands if tablets, you have no success, I suggest you contact ASKO for a service call

Perhaps have your water tested for hardness. If you look back to your owners manual, there will be a section discussing this and what is needed to address water hardness if it is an issue. If you are in a capital city on the east coast, this is probably not a problem, but don't take my word for it of course. As Heather suggested, a phone call or email to Asko should be your first port of call and they may be able to answer the water hardness question for you also.

Hi RJC, I've had no problems whatsoever with my D5436.

Mate same story, even when the dishwasher is not been used the cycle button runs around and around the dial, beeping, Asko came out replaced the whole inner elec board, low and behold it's back to the same old tricks ?? very peed off !!

sorry have never had this happen (wierd) the only thing i can think off is that may be the m/wave is sending out a pulse that the d/washer is picking up

I've read another post with someone saying the same thing. In their post (See reviews). They say it is apparently a known problem as they have seen others with the same issue. If this is the case, under Australian consumer law you are entitled to a repair, refund, replacement.......your choice. Call Asko and ask for you option. If it is that obvious, take a video of the issue and send it to them to prove your case. If not use the video in the consumer tribunal to prove your case.

ASKO were very helpful. It is an issue with the microwave sending out a pulse wave. ASKO assisted without any fuss Very happy with their response

Seriously I gave a review on my experience of the ASKO dishwasher I am NOTa dishwasher designer !!
Nor to I know the reasoning behind what programs are on dishwashers

Well as I am not a dishwasher technician I cannot advise you

It depends on whether you have set the high temperature button on. See page 2 of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. They call this the LONG DRY. See page 7.
It probably uses more electricity, but with solar panels and running it during the day, we don't mind.
