SOURCE: Machine drains and dial turns directly to S after filling with water.
moe thasn likly you have a pressure switch that is either telling the machine its too full and making it drain or its not seeing the switch and so it drains. Another possibility ids the machine is leaking. Pull the lower cover off and make sure there is no water in the bottom. These askos have a float switch down there that will run the drain if the sense water leaking into the lower tray. Last but not least, you could have a bad timer. these timers are covered for 5 years (parts only) from date of installation. The first 4 digits of the serial # will tell yuo when the machine was made the firts 2 are the year and the second 2 are the week of that year (so a serial beginning in 0145 woul;d mean built in the 45th week of 2001 and so on. Good luck!

Try to Open the safety compartment using a screwdriver under the wash machine in the front.
Then open the big white knodb this will cause the wate to drain out which is fine.
Then clean this out. Usually you will find coins and stuff here from years of operations from pockets. clear these out and your problem maybe fixed. worked for us
SOURCE: ASKO 6021 washing machine, drawer locked
Reach under the drawer, right side and move the lock mechanism to he left. The drawer will unlock.
SOURCE: bowl won't turn or spin. belt is fine but motor
It sounds like you will need a new motor. You pump seems to work and that leads to the motor because it does not spin or move. Motor should be easy to replace good luck

Hi, welcome to FixYa. CHANGING THE FUSE 1. Remove the fuse holder insert with a screwdriver (1/4 turn). 2. Replace the fuse. (The fuse must be a 250V, 15amp slow-blow fuse.) 3. Fit the fuse holder insert with the fuse into the fuse holder.
I'll start by addressing the later part of your post first, and that is by saying I wouldn't run out and buy a new washer...not yet anyway.
You should be able to get the garments out of the washer by way of manually unlocking the door. The door can be opened manually, see below for instructions.
**Watch for lots of water if it hasn't drained though...see below for manually drain as well**
Usually if the door won't open it's due to the unit not draining sufficiently (this may explain the "shuddering" as well if pump has debris within it) or perhaps a fuse tripping, thus no power. Just to be thorough you should check the pump to insure the filter isn't clogged, in my opinion, or do you know where it is and how to check it ?
In the event the pump, filter or hose is clogged or obstructed, will prevent the door lock from releasing...potentially causing a fuse to trip.
This is by design, but it's easy to confirm or dismiss.
Check as follows...
Let me know if any of this isn't clear and I'll attempt to help you move forward by way of possibly emailing this info to you.
Once you've cleared the pump filter or ruled out it was indeed blocked or not, you can now pull the manual door lock release located in the same area.
i.e.
Once that has been done, I'd now check the fuses in both the washer as well as the dryer...if yours plugs into the dryer as most Asko do. To do so is as follows...
Let me know how you make out. Thank you for choosing FixYa and good luck. Please take a moment to rate the info provided for you here today at FixYa.

Macmarkus :)
