What should I do if my appliance is not working?

If you find that your appliance is not working properly, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue before seeking further assistance. First, make sure that the appliance is plugged in and that the power source is functioning correctly. Sometimes, the power outlet can be tripped or malfunction, so checking that should be your first step. Next, examine the appliance for any visible signs of damage or obstruction. Look for any kinks in the power cord or debris that might be interfering with its operation. If the appliance has a removable filter, ensure that it is clean, as a clogged filter can affect performance. Refer to the user manual for specific troubleshooting tips related to your appliance model. Many common issues, such as error codes or blinking lights, may be explained in the manual along with remedies. If basic troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, consider resetting the appliance, if applicable. Unplugging the appliance for a few minutes and then plugging it back in can sometimes reset its system. If the problem persists after these steps, there may be a need for professional service. In that case, check the Asko website, as it may provide guidance on locating authorized service technicians or support options available for your appliance model. Be sure to have your model number and any relevant details handy when seeking assistance.
