Most common issues on this model
- Dryer stopping when the door moves
- Door not catching on the latch
- Start button with no effect
- Warm air escaping around the door
The ASKO T780 is a discontinued tumble dryer from an older line, and we still repair it for homes in the Houston area. On a dryer this age, a surprising share of no-start problems are really door problems.
Dryers will not run unless the door switch tells them the door is shut. A latch that has worn, a strike that has bent or a switch with dirty contacts all give the same sign: the dryer will not start, or it stops when someone bumps the door. We test the switch, adjust or replace the latch and check the seal around the door while we are there, since a worn seal leaks warm air and lengthens drying.
If a latch for a machine this old cannot be found, we say so before starting. Everything is quoted in writing, and the serial plate confirms the model. Reserve a visit with a call, or through the online form, and a three-hour arrival window is confirmed with you.

Error codes this model can show
Why does my dryer not start with the door closed?
The door switch may not register the closed door, because of a worn latch or a dirty switch. We test both. A bent strike plate does the same thing.
Why does it stop when I touch the door?
The latch or switch is loose or worn. We adjust or replace what has worn. We then check the seal around the door while we are there.
Can a bad seal cause longer cycles?
Yes, it lets warm air escape. We check the seal while we are working on the door. We check the seal and replace it when the part can be found.
