Asko Dishwasher Not Draining? Drain Pump 855893 – Fix Standing Water Fast
Standing water left in the bottom of an Asko dishwasher after the cycle ends is almost always caused by a failed drain pump. In Asko dishwashers, the drain pump motor forces water out of the tub through the drain hose at the end of every wash and rinse cycle. When the pump motor burns out, the impeller seizes, or the pump fails to activate, water has nowhere to go — it sits in the tub, creates odors, and prevents the next cycle from running correctly. ⚡ Most common cause of standing water in Asko dishwashers — drain pump failure is the leading no-drain service call on these machines. Part 855893 is the genuine OEM replacement drain pump that restores full drainage immediately — direct fit, no modification required.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Dishwasher powers on and runs through the wash cycle normally
- ✔ Water fills and heats correctly — only draining is affected
- ✔ Drain hose and air gap are clear — no blockage in the drain line
- ✔ ONLY problem is standing water remaining in the tub after the cycle ends

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Standing water in the bottom of the dishwasher after every cycle
- Dishwasher stops mid-cycle with water in the tub
- Drain pump runs but water level doesn't drop — impeller seized or broken
- No drain pump sound at all during the drain phase of the cycle
- Drain error code displayed on the control panel
- Musty or sour odor from standing water that won't clear
✔ If these symptoms match, the drain pump is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing the drain pump restores full drainage immediately.
📦 Part Details
- Part Number: 855893
- Type: Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor Assembly — OEM drain pump for Asko dishwashers
- Brands: Asko
- Note: Verify full model number before ordering — drain pump fitment varies by production year and series.
A clogged drain filter or debris in the sump can cause the same standing water symptoms as a failed pump — and will destroy a new pump within weeks if not cleared first. Remove and clean the filter assembly and inspect the sump for broken glass, food debris, or foreign objects before installing the new 855893. This takes 5 minutes and can prevent a repeat repair.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: MODERATE — 30–45 minutes. Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing. Remove the lower spray arm, filter assembly, and sump cover to access the drain pump at the base of the tub. Disconnect the pump wiring harness and release the pump from its mounting. Install the new 855893, reconnect the harness, reassemble the sump and filter, and run a short drain cycle to confirm full drainage before returning to service.
✓ Compatible Models

💡 Pro Tip
After installing the new drain pump, run a cancel/drain cycle before running a full wash — this purges any air from the pump housing and confirms the impeller is spinning freely under load. If the pump hums but water doesn't move, the impeller may not be fully seated on the motor shaft. A 30-second drain test catches this before you reassemble the full machine.
