I HATE my Asko 1805 dishwasher!! It has been a lemon from day one. Installed during a kitchen renovation around 8 yrs ago, it was totally out of service for an entire year! And it was brand new. Despite many calls to company, a parade of repairmen and replacing many parts I was washing dishes by hand. I finally found someone who got it to work but it has required repeated repairs, the board was replaced twice. The inside is constantly breaking with steel bearings falling into the bottom and various bits and pieces of plastic from who knows where and assorted plastic wheels joining them. The control panel cover is cracked and peeling and the door panel is coming unglued. It takes forever to run a regular cycle although it does do a good job of cleaning the dishes. This machine has spent more time out of order or waiting for parts than it has spent in working order. Now I find out that there is a recall on this model because it may catch on fire. Customer service from this company is the worst! I bought this dishwasher at a hefty price which I did not mind paying when I thought I was purchasing a quality product which would last for many years. I will not purchase any item from this company again. I am looking forward to the day I yank it out of my kitchen and toss it into the dumpster (where it belongs)
