This has been comming up every few months for nearly two years. Normal solution is to switch everything off ie re boot.
This time no luck, took the back off dirve belt is fine, drum and motor move by hand, but on any program the motor is not roating ( I watched with back off).
Water fill and drain works just fine and we are not overloading.
I am constantly getting a motor protection fault error. I checked the motor brushes they are fine. I even burnished the communicators. I found that if I hold the control buttons down long enoughI can over ride the fault but it takes me an extra 5 to 10 minutes standing in front of the washer pressing buttons and holding them down. Once it gets started though it goes thru the entire cycle OK. How can I turn this fault thing off?I am constantly getting a motor protection fault error. I checked the motor brushes they are fine.

Does it mean the machine is on it's last legs?
have an asko w640 about 8 years old- have a wash motor code- it drains and fills fine, washes intermittently if i only put in a very small load, spins out okay with a small load. Will not spin or tumble with a normal load. If i need to clean brushes, how do I do that, or is the motor shot? Also would like to find a service manual to repair it ourself but cant.

We got the same problem 2 weeks ago. Overode it by swiching everything off and then back on, wish we hadn't as te machine stopped washing 1 week later. Motor has gone $300 and it took the electronic controler out as well $300. Labour $100 plus call out $95. It'sa serious falut and should get it fixed which begs the question why have fault indicator ro this problem if you cna overide it. In addition you probbaly have a minor water leak from above the motor, which can be fixed with silicone. Asko saya it's machine lasts 20 years, think again as for a $1900 machine very disappointed. Australia
If the problem is fixed by switching the machine on and off, think about one thing: The ON/OFF switch is there bacuse when the machine is not in use, it shall be turned off.
Sounds like its just time for as motor. The motor is covered for 5 years parts only and 3 years parts and labor. Otherwise expect to pay about $180 for the part from an asko dealer. Only one I know of in the US is American Appliance in denver. 303 777 0993. Good Luck!

Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
have you tried fresh fuel. ie not the stuff that's been in the tank for a year. stale fuel usually causes problems with small 2 stoke engines, but it might be worth a try.
coils, it has just one coil pack. with 3 coils integrated.
its not COPs.
there are many DTCs related, and not posted.
did you try new spark plugs, then new wires. and then only last the coil pack? check compression.
is it failing the same cylinder? (the will fail in pairs, if the pack is bad)
the pack runs 2 cylinders at once (in series)
injectors leaking or clogged.
since you didnt show the symptoms, i cant help much.
how.?
1 month or 1 year?, or how many miles?
answer 1
time, heat,vibration, oil contamination. (pressure washing them)
not using the dielectric grease on the boots.
getting water in the wells over and over, causing flash over , and carbon tracking.
what make you think they are bad.???
my guess, is you see P03xx codes and assume the means bad coil.?
post symptoms.
post scan data, and DTCs.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I presume that you thought the belt might be slipping? Unfortunately in this instance the indications are that the motor is malfunctioning.
Options are to change the brushes, if that appears to be a relatively easy task, or to purchase a new motor but please note my pre-typed guidance notes for belts and motors following.
'However it is false economy to just have the brushes changed although financially very attractive. Experience of others is that the brushes may only last months unless, that is, the motor is totally refurbished at the same time. It depends on how old the motor is and how much wear the commutator has had'.
In other words you can take a chance!
I changed our Bosch motor (and at the same time the belt of course) a few months ago- it is nearly 20 years old- at a cost of GBP250.
check the sump area below the pump and clean out any waste food debris,etc. and also the drain check valve,it may be plugged and not draining waste water completely or not closing completely and letting waste water back into the sump and this could be getting back through the pump and sprayed back onto your dishes
The motor switch that is mounted on the motor may need replacing. The knocking could mean that the "run" winding is cutting off momentarily, and running on the "start" winding of the motor. I dont know about a 22 year old model, but in most "near modern" machines, the switch has a plastic actuator that is pushed when the motor obtains near-run speed, that plastic may be worn or the actuator part on the motor may be at fault. If you replace the motor, you usually get this switch as part of the deal.
Hi. F13 indicates dryer fan motor or thermistor problem
If you can't hear the fan motor running on the dry cycle then it is probably faulty.
Hope this helps.
Please feedback.
Thanks
Check connections, Hertz rate, and settings (if you can read them). Otherwise, it may be time to whip out the cash and get a new monitor and/or computer.
see if there is a blockage in the level switch. the switch operates on air pressure within the dip tube and the diaphragm in the switch. there may be a spider's nest in the tube or a wasp's nest in the tube.
