# Asko dishwasher water inlet repair

### One circuit behind three different complaints

Will not fill, fills too slowly, fills when it should not. The first suspect on all three is outside the appliance: a service valve under the sink turned most of the way off during other work, a hose crushed when the machine was pushed back, or an inlet screen silted up on this supply. Where the machine is genuinely at issue, the valve is tested in both states — opening when asked and, the one that gets missed, holding closed when not. A valve passing water while deactivated is what fills an appliance overnight, and behind a panel that water is in the joinery before anybody sees it.

What this involves

The service valve under the sink before the machine, every time

Inlet valve, flow meter and the hose screen, which is a five-minute clean

A valve that leaks when off is a different problem from one that will not open

Check the supply the machine is given

Service valve fully open, hose not kinked behind the cabinet, and the screen at the inlet clear. On this water the screen silts up quicker than people expect.

Test the valve in both states

Opening when asked and — the one that gets missed — holding closed when not. A valve passing water while deactivated is what the leakage codes on this make are reporting.

Verify fill against the machine's own measure

Fill timed and the flow meter's count read, so the repair is proved against what the control expects rather than against how full it looks.

### How do I know if the valve is seeping?

Water in the machine before a program starts, or a puddle that appears when nothing has run. Close the service valve under the sink and see whether it stops — that costs nothing and it answers the question.

### Is the screen something I can clean?

The one at the hose union, yes, with the water off and a pair of pliers. It is a five-minute job and on this water it makes a real difference to fill times.
