DOE ordered ASKO Appliances, Inc. to pay a $36,500 civil penalty after finding ASKO had failed to certify that certain models of residential dishwashers and clothes washers comply with the applicable energy and water conservation standards. DOE assessed a higher civil penalty due to a prior history of the same type of violation. The Order adopted a Compromise Agreement, which reflected settlement terms between DOE and ASKO.
