Mailbag: Asko Dishwasher Meltdown

Ann wrote:
I have a 6 yr old ASKO dishwasher. All the insulation melted down causing a flood. It now is so loud it sounds like a MACK Truck. They are giving me the runaround. Any advice or have you heard of similar problems.

There's a saying among us professional Appliantologists, "Asko? Oh, no!" Even the Samurai cringes when he gets a service call for an Asko. Their dishwashers are famous in the repairing community as electrical nightmares--their defining characteristic is spontaneous combustion.

Asko, Bosch...why do people buy these freakin' furrin' brands? Is it an image thang? Well, for that image you pay twice as much for a dishwasher that breaks down twice as often, takes twice as long to get parts for, and costs twice as much to repair.

I don't know what part melted on your Asko-oh no dishwasher, but my recommendation would be the same no matter what it is: junk it and go buy a Whirlpool or Kitchenaid dishwasher. A really, really good and quiet one will run you about $500. If you want the stainless steel interior (though, I don't see the point of this for a residential dishwasher) it'll run you a few hundred more.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
