What LCD1 means on your Asko dryer (asko dryer lcd1)
An asko dryer lcd1 problem on the TD70.3 panel flags an open circuit or other malfunction in the thermistor that measures drying temperature during the cycle. It is the direct successor to S3 on the TD70.2 board and carries the identical meaning, renamed to fit TD70.3’s LCD-prefixed set alongside LCD2 and LCD3. Like S3 before it, LCD1 is a genuine component problem rather than a normal status message, and the control typically will not let a new cycle start while the thermistor circuit is reading open.
Symptoms
Match what your Asko dryer is doing against the signs below before assuming the cause, since more than one problem can produce a similar picture. On the dryer the symptoms may arrive alone or in combination, sometimes gradually and sometimes the moment after a surge, an intensive cycle, or a fresh install.
- The display shows LCD1 and the cycle stops
- Recent loads may have finished under-dried or over-dried before LCD1 appeared outright
- The dryer may refuse to start a new cycle while LCD1 is showing
- LCD1 does not clear on its own after a simple restart
Common causes
Your Asko dryer can show these signs for any of several reasons, so weigh the probable causes before the rare ones. Going through them in sequence separates something you can settle yourself on the dryer from a repair that wants trained service and proper parts.
- Open circuit in the thermistor — the sensor element has failed internally
- Damaged or corroded sensor wiring — a broken or oxidized connection interrupts the signal
- Loose connector at the thermistor or control board — a plug can work partway loose over time from vibration
- Control board failure reading the sensor — less common, but possible on the board side
Troubleshooting steps you can try
Give these steps a try on your Asko dryer in order first — the simplest fixes tend to sit near the top. The instant a step involves mains voltage, gas, a hot cavity, water, or a sealed part of the dryer, put your tools down and call a qualified technician.
- Power the dryer off at the outlet for a minute and restart it to rule out a one-off reading.
- Avoid running further cycles while LCD1 is showing, since drying temperature is not being reliably measured.
- Check whether anything was recently moved or serviced near the rear panel that could have disturbed a connector.
- If LCD1 returns after a restart, stop retrying and book service.
Parts a technician may replace
For this condition on your Asko dryer, a technician is most likely to inspect, test, or replace the thermistor (drying temperature sensor), wiring harness, and control board. The right one is matched from your dryer’s model, serial, and Art. No., and confirming the failed part before ordering protects both the repair and the dryer’s long working life.
When to call a technician
LCD1 is a sensor-circuit failure, not an owner-serviceable condition — an experienced technician needs to test the thermistor and its wiring on your TD70.3 dryer. Rated Medium severity, this condition does not put your Asko dryer at immediate risk; still, if LCD1 persists on the dryer after you have worked through the steps, let a technician pin down the cause before replacing anything. An independent service with no manufacturer affiliation, we send experienced technicians to your Asko dryer with genuine OEM or trusted-supplier parts and a 30-day labor warranty on the dryer. When you book, have your Asko dryer’s model, serial, and Art. No. to hand so the exact part for your build is matched before the visit and LCD1 is put right in as few trips as possible.
