The D1706B is the black version of the Asko D1706 dishwasher. The B on the end is Asko’s own SKU suffix for Black, printed in the SKU table of Asko Inc.’s own United States Product Guide, form 051101-0530, dated 2002. What the suffix governs is the outside of the machine – the door front, the trim and the handle – and not the wash system behind it, which the D1706B shares with the D1706SS in stainless steel and the D1706W in white. That distinction is the practical one when a part is ordered: panel and trim parts are tied to the finish, while a pump, a hose or a latch is listed against the machine.
The D1706B is long discontinued. It was printed in a guide dated 2002 and has not been in the range since. No published specification for this model was recovered, so none is quoted here and nothing is borrowed from a neighbouring number. Parts for a machine of this age divide into the ones still obtainable and the ones that have run out, and which side the part you need falls on is settled before any work is quoted. Whatever is ordered is matched to the serial number plate rather than to the model name alone.
