Asko w6022 flooding root cause

My landlord is claiming that a nickle and a quarter and non-HE detergent caused an apartment flood in the Asko W6022 front loader washing machine. Seems to me unlikely that concentrated soap and a few coins would cause flooding throughout an apartment. Are Asko's known to have this problem? Do you think its likely that is the root cause of the flooding?

SOURCE: hole in pump caused by coin -- causing flooding

There is no screen! I bet it was a dime that was caught in the pump. It has happened to me several times to the point where we double check all pockets when loading washer. Coins larger than a dime stay in drum or in lower basket. Poor design! I now leave the back of washer loosened and have mastered pulling hose off the PLASTIC pump housing and reaching in to pull out the coin.

SOURCE: Kenmore front loader run with shipping bolts in

i just recently had a frontloader delivered WITH shipping bolts IN PLACE also... it did the whole LEAK EVERYWHERE thing too!!! The repair guy has already looked at the damage and the ENTIRE machine is being replaced as we speak. BOTH baskets had rips torn into them and it is only holding itself up by ONE shock right now. Sears definitely owes you BIG TIME!!! I'd DEMAND a new washer immediately.

SOURCE: I have an Asko W6022

Hello, welcome to FixYa. I understand by your post you have an Asko washer & dryer stacked. I think you are inquiring about a leak that has developed on the washer, but since you alluded to working on the dryer as well I want to be sure. As for servicing them, (either wash or dryer...I have both) I can send you the authorized Asko service manual for the W600 series washer that will clearly guide you in any service you may need to do. If you want to post an email address I can fire it off to you in the morning (It is presently just after 11pm mountain time where I reside so my PC is off and I'm heading to bed) If you can wait 7-8 hours that is. Let me know and I'd be glad to help in any manner I can. Thanks for choosing FixYa today. Regards, Macmarkus :)

SOURCE: Simpson Ezi Sensor Front Loader keeps pausing during washes, doesn't put through the detergent.

you might be putting the detergent in the wrong part of the dispenser,or you might have the hose on the wrong way,or the water valve has failed. Read up on your user manual to see what happens on this part of the cycle,does the w/m empty ,then try and bring in more water?? The main give away to this fault is,detergent still in the dispenser.Check all your filters on your inlet hose and water valves.
You have to ask yourself what has changed,cheers.

Ds603 flood switch has been activated

The flood switch is at base of dishwasher housing under the drawer. Water leakage has occured to trigger this. Turn power off to dishwasher and take the power chord out. Pull the drawer out and use towels and hair dryer to dry the base. Put drawer back in and reconnect. Should work. Need to find the cause of leak. Either damaged lid seal or leaky hoses. Sometimes too much foam in detergent can cause it. Use recommended detergent and appropriate quantity per user manual.

Oversudsing Stops cycle

Oversudsing causes some dishwashers to trigger the flood switch. This is because the suds overflow and leak through the air holes. As soon as the flood switch is triggered inside the dishwasher it shuts itself off.

Wait for the suds to disppear and the flood switch to dry off. Use recommended type of detergent.

Code F1 keeps draining constantly

Turn off the main power to the dishwasher.

I am assuming you are getting F1 error code flashing on the LCD display. This occurs if the flood switch is activated.

The flood switch is located at the base of the drawer tub. You will have to either extend the drawers out fully or take them out depending on the amount of water that would have collected at the base of the tubs. Get some towels and dry the base out. You may also need a hair dryer.

Once the flood switch dries off the drawer should work ok when you turn back the power.

The causes of the flood switch trriggering is either too much foam in detergent (use recommended detergent) or leak in water in or drain pipe.

Please remember to rate the solution if it helps or post a comment if not.

Pump continuing to run -Asko D3100

Micro switch was actually faulty,moisture had entered the switch and caused internal tracking and shorting out the micro switch ,making the pump run continually as it thought it was still in flood mode.
Flood appears to have been caused by a pin hole in the water fill hose in the base of the dishwasher,causing water to spray on the micro switch and eventually biuld up in the base of the machine.
