What LCD3 means on your Asko dryer (asko dryer lcd3)
An asko dryer lcd3 prompt is TD70.3’s scheduled reminder to clean the lint filter, appearing automatically once every 100 cycles as a preventive measure, or earlier if the “Clean filter” indicator has already fired repeatedly without the filter being cleaned in between. Like its sibling LCD2, this is a maintenance message rather than an error code, and it is exclusive to the TD70.3 panel — earlier TD70 boards rely only on the standard end-of-cycle filter light without this counter-driven escalation. Ignoring LCD3 for too long does eventually affect drying performance, since a clogged filter reduces airflow through the whole system.
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 LCD3, typically after a completed cycle
- The regular end-of-cycle filter reminder may have already appeared several times before LCD3 escalates it
- Drying times may gradually lengthen if the filter has genuinely gone uncleaned
- LCD3 clears once the filter is cleaned and the prompt acknowledged
Common causes
The causes below all produce similar symptoms on an Asko dryer, so the order matters — start at the top where the odds are highest. That approach tells you fast whether your dryer needs a two-minute check or a repair with genuine parts and an experienced hand.
- Scheduled 100-cycle interval reached — the counter-driven reminder fires on schedule regardless of current filter condition
- Filter reminder repeatedly dismissed without cleaning — the control escalates to LCD3 after the standard end-of-cycle prompt has been ignored across several cycles
- Heavy lint-producing laundry — towels, blankets, and pet bedding load the filter faster than average laundry
Troubleshooting steps you can try
Run these steps on your Asko dryer in the sequence shown before you pick up the phone. If working on the dryer would put you near mains wiring, gas, a hot cavity, water, or a sealed system, stop and let a qualified technician take over from there.
- Open the filter housing and remove the lint filter.
- Clear all visible lint by hand, then rinse the filter mesh under water if it looks glazed or coated.
- Let the filter dry fully before reinserting it.
- Acknowledge or clear the LCD3 prompt per the display’s instructions.
- Clean the filter after every load going forward rather than waiting for the reminder.
Parts a technician may replace
Once the problem on your Asko dryer is confirmed, the parts a technician is most likely to inspect, test, or replace are the lint filter and filter housing. Each one is matched to your dryer by model, serial, and Art. No. so the exact component fits this dryer, and only genuine OEM or trusted-supplier parts go back into it — never a generic stand-in.
When to call a technician
LCD3 is a routine maintenance prompt, not a problem — a technician visit is only warranted if airflow and drying performance stay poor after the filter has been properly cleaned on your TD70.3 dryer. This problem is rated Low severity, so there is no emergency with your Asko dryer — but if LCD3 keeps coming back on the dryer after the checks above, have a technician confirm the cause before any part is replaced. As an independent repairer unaffiliated with the manufacturer, we look after your Asko dryer with experienced technicians, genuine OEM or trusted-supplier parts, and a 30-day warranty on the labor done to the dryer. Keep your Asko dryer’s model, serial, and Art. No. handy for the booking so the component can be matched to your dryer up front and LCD3 resolved without repeat call-outs.
