Bisque is the word Asko itself uses for the finish on the D1716BI, and it is the whole of what the BI suffix records in the SKU table of Asko Inc.’s own United States Product Guide, form 051101-0530, dated 2002. It is also the finish that dates the machine most plainly, because bisque is a colour that left kitchen appliances along with the generation that wore it. Behind the panel the D1716BI is the dishwasher also sold as the D1716B, the D1716SS and the D1716W.
That matters for sourcing rather than for diagnosis. Internal parts for a D1716BI are the common ones shared across the four fronts; a bisque door panel or a length of bisque trim is finish-specific on a long-discontinued model, which is the group most likely to have run out entirely. No published specification for the D1716BI was recovered and none is invented here. Whether the part exists is answered before the work is quoted.
