# Asko steam oven water system service

### Descale first, and we will tell you how rather than charge for it

On this water the steam generator scales faster than the service interval assumes, and a descale run properly with the right agent solves a good share of refused steam programs. What is priced here is the machine that still refuses afterwards: a level sensor reading through scale and reporting a full cavity to a machine that is empty, or a drain path that leaves water standing overnight. Both are proved by testing fill and drain separately rather than by replacing the generator on suspicion.

What this involves

Descale first — we will say how, rather than sell a visit for it

Standing water the next morning is a drain path or a level sensor

This supply scales a generator faster than the service interval assumes

Descale the generator properly

The manufacturer's cycle run with the right agent and repeated where the scale is heavy, rather than a single pass that shifts the top layer.

Prove the water path both ways

Fill from the tank or the plumbed supply, and drain out of the cavity. Water present the next morning is one of those two and not a steam problem.

Read the level sensor at temperature

Because a sensor scaled over reports a full cavity to a machine that is empty, which looks exactly like a failed generator.

### There is water in the cavity in the morning.

That is a drain path or a level sensor rather than a steam problem, which makes it a smaller job than it sounds. A little water at the end of a steam program is normal and evaporates; water that is still there the next day is not.

### How often should it be descaled?

More often than the manual suggests here. Once the machine starts asking, it has usually been due for a while — and a heavy build needs several passes rather than one.
