Asko W6641 Front Load Washer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
We have an f2 error cleaned pump and how do you
Hello, welcome to FixYa.
There is typically a drain filter in the pump as you know, however there should be a door lock release on Asko built machines...including the W600 series.
This is the typical procedure for machines of the past 10yrs. or so...
Hopefully this will help. Let me know if anything is unclear or If I can assist you going forward. Good luck.

Asko w6041 wont stop dispencing water
Hi
Your problem is most likely the fill solenoids.Often, grit, sand and other 'stuff' in your water supply will cause the solenoids to stick open.To repair, pull the washer away from the wall, so you can access the area where your water hoses attach to the washing machine. Turn the water off.Disconnect the water hoses, allowing them to drain into a bucker. Identify the screws that go from the back of the washer into the item that the hoses attach to. Remove those screws and disconnect the hose(s) that go into the body of the washer. Remove the solenoid unit. Purchase a new solenoid.Reverse the removal procedure.
Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

Model 20605 Probably very old. First time using
Hello,
Welcome to
FixYa.
The
Asko 20605 washer is an older model indeed, but not as old as you might think, the serial number would indicate it's actual manufactured date but it is in the neighborhood of late 90's early
millennium.
Those particular electronic control models have a button on the front which unlocks the door if the power is "on".
For a more detailed explanation I've tried to copy & paste a clip from my service info.
The door can also become "stuck" closed if in-active for a period of time with the door in the closed position as it will stick to the rubber seal around the basket opening. You may need to pull slightly on the door as you push the lock switch to unlock it.
Let me know if this clears up the matter for you and I'll try and assist you in whatever manner I can going forward...if need be.
Thank you for choosing
FixYa for your inquiry. Good luck.

Is there a safety reset
Hello,
Welcome to FixYa.
You mentioned that the unit has power into the unit, but have you checked the fuses. There is no reset to answer that question.
There are indeed 2 fuses though on the Asko washer next to the power cord, in the square junction box.
Further to this, if they both check out as o.k. I'd suggest you remove the junction box cover and check the wiring going to and from the fuse hubs/holders as they can and do become burnt and worn due to metal fatigue over time.
You should then see similar to this ( this is an earlier model Asko dryer, but the fuse and connectors will be similar )
i.e.
The fuse assembly subs to a complete kit now, like shown below.
This hopefully will move you forward. Thanks for choosing FixYa and good luck.
Let me know if you require further assistance or if indeed this solved your problem. Please keep me informed either way

What can I check on or do when getting a water
check the filter basket that catches waste from the washup. Also follow the outlet hose ( usually winds through cupboards to the sink outlet. ) and see there are no kinks in it from articles being pushed against it.
If these are OK it may be that ther outet valve is jammed and this will require a tech, as the whole casing will need removing
Please rate my help++++Thankis for using FIXYA

Hello donvidon,
Here you can find a manual of your W6641.

Asko W6984 Front Loading Washer Won't Agitate or Spin
No wash agitation or spin? try these:
WATER PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch keeps your washer from overflowing. It is responsible for shutting off the power to the fill valve and redirects the power to the timer to start the washing machine running once the correct water level has been reached. Meter check ur water pressure switch?
You can test it with a meter and with a manual test? ( first locate it in the panel, it has a plastic clear tube hose going into it, remove that tube from its connection, now put another small tube or hose into the slot where it was and have the machine set to wash cycle with water in it. Blow into the other end of the tube.
If the machine starts to wash. the pressure switch is more than likely good
( No wash starts - then THE DIAPHRAGM IS BAD AND SWITCH HAS TO BE REPLACED) another test u can do is Remove the hose and submerge in water. Seal one end and blow air into the other end and look for bubbles. Check for an obstruction in the hose as well.
Or take the original hose tube and plug one end and blow into it AT the other end, it should be hard and have pressure, if it is easy to blow and u dont feel any pressure and it feels like the air is going out ?
Sometimes they get busted open or a pin hole and release air causing the water switch diaphragm to not open.
Another test u can make with a multi meter is by testing the prongs individually.
# 15,16,17 (don't worry to much bout the numbers IF U GET THEM WRONG) place ur meter prongs on both out side prongs or connectors of the switch.
(where the wire plugs into) take note of weather it shows OHMS or infinity ( open or close circuit) ? Now place the meter on the left outside and the middle prong, take note agin what it shows. Now place meter prong on the right outside and the middle prong. Agin take note what reading u get. ( you should actually get a reading of infinity in 1 and a reading of continuity or ohms in the other 2? Now the tricky part. Agin place a small tube or hose into the switch and blow into it, using the meter do the same test agin on all prongs. But now keep the pressure on the switch when u blow into it, in other words use ur tongue on one end of tube to not allow air to escape. When u test it agin now one of the prongs that once read infinity should now show continuity or ohms, and 1 of the other prongs that read ohms should now read infinity or open.

Motor Coupling If the washer won't spin or agitate the motor coupling might have failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. It is designed to fail if the washer is overloaded in order to protect both the motor and
Drive Belt If the washer won't spin or agitate, check the drive belt. If the belt is broken or if it isn't tight on the pulleys the washer won't spin or agitate properly.
mode shifter and or Drive Motor If the washer won't spin or agitate the drive motor might be defective. This is not common. Check all of the other related parts to this symptom before replacing the motor. If the motor is visibly burned out or physically damaged, replace it.
Stator Assembly If the washer won't spin or agitate the stator assembly might be burned out. The stator is essentially one half of a motor, it interacts with the tub by creating a strong electro-magnet. If the stator burns out the washer won't spin or agitate. Check the stator for continuity. This part is often misdiagnosed.
Transmission or clutch assembly not engaging due to going out or slipping.
Door or Lid Latch Assembly If the washer won't spin or agitate the lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have continuity according to their design.
Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly If the washer won't spin or agitate the door lock assembly should be checked. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an Ohm meter. The switches should have continuity according to their design.
Motor Control Board If the washer won't spin or agitate the motor control board might be defective. The motor control board provides power to the motor as well as direction and force. If the motor control board is defective the washer may not work at all or function properly.
CHECK THE CAM DOGS INSIDE THE AGITATOR, AS THEY WILL HINDER THE AGITATION PROCESS. However in G.E models the cam dogs are replaced with what is called an agitator coupler. (located at bottom of tub)
Remember to check the agitator spline as well for worn broken teeth.

Asko front loader can I take off hose to use tap
If your dishwasher uses a quick connect hose to the faucet, you can disconnect it while the dishwasher is running ONLY IF the water is shut off and pressure release button is pushed in to release water pressure inside hose. If the dishwasher is calling for water, it will accommodate for a short loss of time. Remember to turn water back on when hoses are reconnected.

Our ASKO washing machine won't work.
Edited text for clarity. Moved Category form Drills to Asko washing machineThat is a power leakage to earth. It is either a fault with the motor or a damaged wire.
