Hello,
Welcome to FixYa.
Based on your description I`d direct you to first check the hi-temp cut out at the back...if you haven`t already.
It will look like this on the Asko dryers...
If you push this to reset and the unit works, great. I would keep an eye on it though since the hi-limit typically trips for a reason such as a plugged lint filter, plugged vent ot partially plugged or the heater itself is plugged up with lint.
Take the lint filter and clean it under some warm water and soap as they do become plugged with wax over time due to fabric softener and static sheets...when present/used regularly
If it doesn`t run after-wards or it`s not tripped, you`ll need to investigate for a faulty heater element. This is quite involved, so we`ll cross that bridge when you get there...if necessary.
Keep me posted on your progress or what you find and I'll help in whatever manner I can. Good luck.
Regards,
Macmarkus :)

Success! Same problem but with a different model, my Asko 7005 drier would not stay on unless the start button was held. I was about to order and replace the relay and start capacitor when I viewed this solution. The high temperature cut out switch was indeed popped out. Pressing this back in, the drier started immediately. Thanks.
