Asko Dishwasher Supply Hose Notice | Inspection

Asko dishwasher supply hose notice — read this important safety alert for full details and affected models.

Inspecting your Asko dishwasher’s water supply hose every 12 months is a critical step in preventing water damage and potential electrical hazards. Asko D5000, DBI, and D5900 series dishwashers use reinforced braided inlet hoses, but these degrade over time and can develop pinhole leaks or burst under pressure, particularly if the hose has been kinked during installation or after a service call.

A failed inlet hose under the dishwasher can release water into the base pan and trigger the AquaSafe flood-protection float switch, but in cases of rapid hose failure the float may not activate fast enough to prevent cabinet or flooring damage. Proactive inspection eliminates this risk.

Warning Signs to Look For

• Visible cracking, bulging, or soft spots along the hose body
• Rust staining or mineral deposits around the hose fittings
• Moisture or white calcium residue on the hose exterior
• Slow drips visible from the toe-kick area of the dishwasher
• Hose age of 5 years or more, regardless of visual condition

Inspection and Prevention Steps

1. Turn off the hot water supply valve under the kitchen sink before inspecting.
2. Remove the dishwasher toe-kick panel (two screws at the bottom front).
3. Visually inspect the full length of the supply hose and both end fittings.
4. Feel along the hose for soft or swollen sections that indicate internal delamination.
5. Replace the hose if it is over 5 years old or shows any of the warning signs above. Asko OEM replacement hoses start from $28 and are available from authorized parts suppliers.
6. Refit the toe-kick and run a short cycle while watching the hose for any weeping at the fittings.

Contact Information

Asko Consumer Support: 1-800-898-1879 | For OEM parts: askousa.com | Authorized service technicians are available nationwide and can replace the supply hose starting from $95 including labor.

When to Call a Technician

Call a technician if you find standing water in the base pan, if the AquaSafe float is stuck in the activated position, or if the hose fitting threads feel corroded. A professional can also pressure-test the full water circuit to rule out connection leaks at the inlet valve.
