The East End is where Pittsburgh's housing changes most from one street to the next. Lawrenceville and Bloomfield are rows of narrow brick houses built for mill and rail workers, now full of restaurants and new residents; Friendship, Highland Park and Point Breeze are big porches and three-story Victorians; Squirrel Hill mixes large houses with duplexes and apartments; and East Liberty has new apartment blocks going up beside century-old homes.
Two things worth knowing about ASKO before we arrive: Asko uses steel frames and stainless tubs and drums, so repairs usually involve a pump, a valve or a seal rather than anything structural; and Asko dishwashers finish with a condensation dry, so cool dishes and damp plastic at the end of a cycle are normal.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
ASKO: platform and parts
ASKO belongs to the Asko family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End: parts are easier to track down, and the ways these machines tend to fail are well understood.
Send us the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom kick plate or on the rear panel; with it we can look up that platform's known weak points and carry those parts instead of ordering after the first visit.
Keeping an ASKO running
ASKO designs its appliances to be kept for a long time and keeps parts in supply to match. When a ASKO in its second decade breaks, it's usually one part, not the whole machine wearing out, which is rarely true of an economy model the same age.
What you pay for that is parts that cost more and are more often special-ordered, so some ASKO repairs around East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End need a second trip. We tell you the wait before you agree, and book the return visit on the spot.
Where ASKO appliances sit in East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End
Basement washers draining into old laundry tubs, dryers venting through rim joists and stone foundation walls, gas ranges and dryers on older piping, built-in and pro-style kitchens in renovated Squirrel Hill and Point Breeze houses, and reach-ins, ice machines and prep coolers in the restaurants along Butler Street, Penn Avenue and Liberty Avenue.
No matter the brand, an ASKO appliance in East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End is only as good as the drain, circuit, vent and water line it's hooked to, and here the washer and dryer are usually in the basement in nearly every house, from a cramped rowhouse cellar in Lawrenceville to a full basement in Squirrel Hill, and a closet in the newer apartments.
Power outages and food
After a long outage, give the refrigerator several hours to pull back down to temperature before deciding it has failed. Throw out the first batches of ice, and check that the ice maker restarted.
If a unit is still warm the next day, or a washer, dishwasher or range shows a blank display, call us with the model number. Surge damage to a board or power supply is common and often repairable.
Stacked and compact laundry
In East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End's apartments and converted buildings, laundry often means a stacked set or a pair of 24-inch machines in a closet. They do the job, but they're less forgiving: a kinked drain hose, a flattened vent or a closet door that chokes off the dryer's air quickly turns into long cycles and codes.
Separating a stacked pair and fitting it back into a narrow closet without damage is part of what we do. When you book, tell us how wide the closet is and whether it's two machines on a stacking kit or a single laundry center.

ASKO in East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Yes, while it's under the manufacturer's warranty. Warranty repairs are normally handled by the maker's own service network, and we're an independent company, not an authorized service center. Once the warranty has run out, or the problem isn't covered, we're glad to take the job in East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End.
Usually. When you book a East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End visit, list every appliance that's giving trouble, with model numbers if you have them, so we set aside enough time and bring the likely parts.
Not at all. Most repairs are done where the machine stands, and around East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End laundry is usually in the basement in nearly every house, from a cramped rowhouse cellar in Lawrenceville to a full basement in Squirrel Hill, and a closet in the newer apartments. If the stairs are very narrow or steep, tell us when you book so we can plan for anything that might need to come out.
Our first choice is the ASKO part that matches your model number. If that part has been discontinued, an equivalent may exist, and we'll tell you it's an equivalent before it goes in. ASKO shares a parts bin with the other Asko brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to get, even for older units.
In most cases, repair. ASKO designs its appliances to last longer than economy lines and keeps parts available for longer, so a single failed part in a unit that's ten years old usually leaves plenty of good machine behind, especially when it's built into your cabinets.
