What the DBI family is
This is the profile page for Asko DBI: which machines the line covers, and what actually goes wrong on them. It carries a spread of numeric cores rather than a short ladder, which on a listing like this separates model variants — capacity, generation and specification together — rather than different wash or cooling mechanisms. Will not drain leads the list here and water leaking follows it; the diagnostics live on the pages linked from each entry.
The problems that happen on these models, and where each is covered
- Will not drain — A machine that gurgles at the sink and drains slowly, or one that fills again after the sink is used. See Asko DBI Dishwasher: Will Not Drain. — Slug: asko-asko-dishwasher-dbi-dishwasher-drainage-failure-2 — Title: Asko DBI Dishwasher: Will Not Drain
- Water leaking — Water that appears at one point in the cycle and never at the others. See Asko DBI Dishwasher: Water Leak. — Slug: asko-asko-dishwasher-dbi-dishwasher-water-leak-2 — Title: Asko DBI Dishwasher: Water Leak
- Dishes not coming out clean — Dishes that come out needing a rinse, with debris redeposited on the upturned bases of cups. See Asko DBI Dishwasher: Dishes Not Coming Out Clean. — Slug: asko-asko-dishwasher-dbi-dishwasher-cleaning-performance-2 — Title: Asko DBI Dishwasher: Dishes Not Coming Out Clean
- Will not start — A delay indicator nobody set, or a machine that hums for a moment and stops. See Asko DBI Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power. — Slug: asko-asko-dishwasher-dbi-dishwasher-wont-start-2 — Title: Asko DBI Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power
In frequency order on this line
- Will not drain — It sits at this point because it makes every other complaint worse, because a machine washing in old water cannot clean anything.
- Water leaking — It earns this place because the door gasket and detergent foam explain most of it, and neither is a failure of the machine.
- Dishes not coming out clean — Placed at this point because it degrades gradually rather than failing, so owners often live with it for months before reporting it.
- Will not start — It is here because the door latch is the most common reason a lit machine refuses to begin a cycle.

Owner work and technician work on this line
The owner half of every problem above ends at the cabinet: clearance, levelling, seals, filters, loading habits and settings are all fair game with the machine isolated. On a roster this wide the access varies between the listed models — check yours at the data plate.
