Asko Appliance Repair in Ottawa

Asko began in Sweden and is now part of the Gorenje Group of Slovenia, which Hisense owns; the appliances have been built in Slovenia since production moved there from Sweden. In Canada, Asko is sold through Distinctive, and the line here is dishwashers, front-load washers and dryers rather than cooking.
Asko designs things differently from most North American brands, and that changes the repairs. The washers use what Asko calls Quattro construction, with four shock absorbers carrying the drum down to a steel base plate, and many models have a Steel Seal door where a steel ring replaces much of the rubber boot. Asko dishwashers are fully stainless inside, sit on a base pan that catches leaks, and stop with a fault when water reaches it. Because Asko laundry is compact, it is often stacked in a closet or upstairs, so we plan access before we start.

Which Asko appliances we repair
Common Asko faults we see
Dishwashers
- Machine stopped with a fault and the drain pump running: water in the base pan from a leak, which we trace before resetting the float
- Water left after the cycle: a clogged filter or drain hose, then the drain pump
- Will not fill or fills slowly: the inlet valve or a kinked supply line
- Not heating: the heater or its temperature sensor
Washers
- Machine walking or knocking on spin: worn shock absorbers on the Quattro suspension
- Not draining: a pump filter blocked with lint, coins or hair ties, then the drain pump
- Door will not unlock at the end of a cycle: the motorised door lock or water still in the drum
- Leak at the front: a gasket behind the steel door ring or a hose clamp
Dryers
- Ventless dryer running much longer than it used to: lint built up in the condenser and filters
- No heat on a vented model: the element or a thermal cut-out tripped by a restricted vent
- Drum not turning while the motor hums: a broken belt or a seized drum support
Parts and warranty
Asko parts for Canadian models are handled through Distinctive, the Canadian distributor, and are ordered against the product number on the rating label, since Asko builds closely related variants for different markets. Shock absorbers, drain pumps, door locks, inlet valves and filters are the parts we order most. If your Asko is still under warranty, call Distinctive before booking an independent repair.
Asko questions
Who makes Asko appliances now?
Asko is a brand of the Gorenje Group of Slovenia, which is owned by Hisense. Production moved from Sweden to Slovenia, and in Canada the brand is distributed by Distinctive.
My Asko dishwasher stopped and the pump keeps running. Is it broken?
Usually it means water has reached the base pan and lifted the leak float, so the machine pumps out and refuses to run. Resetting it is not a fix; we find where the water is coming from, often a seal, hose or the door area, and repair that.
Why does my Asko washer bang during spin?
Asko washers hold the drum on four shock absorbers. When they wear out, the drum moves too far and knocks against the cabinet. Replacing the shock absorbers is a routine repair, and we check the load balance and levelling at the same time.
