What the DFI family is
Asko DFI covers the models set out in the table below and nothing wider. 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. The faults that dominate it are will not start and dishes not coming out clean, in that order, and every problem named below routes to the page that covers it properly.
The problems that happen on these models, and where each is covered
- Will not start — A delay indicator nobody set, or a machine that hums for a moment and stops. See Asko DFI Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power. — Slug: asko-asko-dishwasher-dfi-dishwasher-wont-start-2 — Title: Asko DFI Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power
- Dishes not coming out clean — Dishes that come out needing a rinse, with debris redeposited on the upturned bases of cups. See Asko DFI Dishwasher: Dishes Not Coming Out Clean. — Slug: asko-asko-dishwasher-dfi-dishwasher-cleaning-performance-2 — Title: Asko DFI Dishwasher: Dishes Not Coming Out Clean
- Will not drain — A stale smell on opening the door, and a sump that never empties fully. See Asko DFI Dishwasher: Will Not Drain. — Slug: asko-asko-dishwasher-dfi-dishwasher-drainage-failure-2 — Title: Asko DFI Dishwasher: Will Not Drain
- Water leaking — A damp, musty cabinet carcass, or suds walking out from under the door. See Asko DFI Dishwasher: Water Leak. — Slug: asko-asko-dishwasher-dfi-dishwasher-water-leak-2 — Title: Asko DFI Dishwasher: Water Leak
In frequency order on this line
- Will not start — It earns this place because delay-start and control-lock settings account for a real share of what gets reported as a dead machine.
- Dishes not coming out clean — Placed at this point because loading and detergent explain a large share of what gets reported as a machine fault.
- Will not drain — It is here because it makes every other complaint worse, because a machine washing in old water cannot clean anything.
- Water leaking — Ranked here because the door gasket and detergent foam explain most of it, and neither is a failure of the machine.

What an owner can do on these models, and what they cannot
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.
