ASKO 1653 Dishwasher Latch Repair

Most common issues on this model

  1. Latch and strike when the door will not register closed
  2. Dispenser cup that does not open when it should
  3. Fill, drain and heat timing on a slow cycle
  4. Pump hum with water left in the sump

The ASKO 1653 is an older ASKO dishwasher no longer sold. On this one we begin at the door: when the latch fails to catch, the machine will not start, and that is the problem owners describe most often.

We test the latch, the strike and the switch behind them, since the fix can be as small as an adjustment. Once the machine starts, we check that the dispenser releases the detergent on time and that the cycle length is sensible. A long cycle leads us to the fill, the drain and the heat.

A pump that hums without emptying the sump gets cleared and tested. Parts for the 1653 may be hard to find, so we confirm availability before the repair and say plainly if it is not worth doing. We read the model from the label, put the price in writing and warranty the work for 30 days.

16531653 questions
My 1653 will not start. Is it the latch?

Often, yes. If the door does not register closed, the control will not start the program. We test the latch and switch and adjust or replace the worn one.

Why did my 1653 stop opening the detergent cup?

The release may be stuck or weak, so the cup never opens at the right time. We inspect it, clean the area and watch it open during a test cycle before deciding on a repair.

Why is my 1653 slower than it used to be?

Slow filling, a weak pump or slow heating can each stretch a cycle. We time each stage, check the inlet and the drain, and tell you which one has changed on your machine.
