DC7171
ASKO DC7171 Drying Cabinet Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Controls not responding when a drying time is set
- Noise from the fan at the top of the cabinet
- Drying taking much longer than it used to
- Garments still damp when the program ends
The DC7171 is an older ASKO drying cabinet, a tall unit built to dry garments that do not belong in a tumble dryer. It is no longer sold, but many homes still have one in a utility room or hallway closet.
Because a drying cabinet moves warm air over hanging items, the fan and the heat matter most. We check the fan at the top first when owners hear noise, then the heating when garments stay damp, and the control when nothing responds after a time is set.
We do not have a feature list for this cabinet, so we test what it does and confirm the model and serial from the plate before ordering parts. Older ASKO parts can be scarce, so we tell you first and quote in writing.

What is a drying cabinet used for?
It dries delicate or hanging garments with warm air, so they do not go through a tumble dryer. We service the fan, the heat and the controls.
Why is my DC7171 so loud at the top?
The fan is housed there, and wear or buildup is the usual cause. We inspect it before suggesting a part, since cleaning is sometimes enough.
Is it worth repairing?
Often yes if the part can be found. We tell you honestly after we inspect it, and the price is in writing before work. Parts for this older cabinet can be scarce.
