Hello, We have been experiencing trouble with our Asko washing machine for the past two weeks. It seems to wash fine, but skips some rinse cycles and frequently does not spin. The past two days it seems worse and we are alternately seeing the F4 and F3 warnings come on (mostly F4). The machine does not appear to be very old, we are guessing it is a 2002. The serial no. is 034910435019. Our machine is stacked with an Asko dryer in a closet and unfortunately is hard to access. Thank you in advance for any advice.

If you can provide me with a model number, I can assist you.

SLIPPING CLUTCH? BAD TIMER? BAD PUMP? IS PUMP ELECTRICAL OR MANUAL ACTIVATED

Hello,

I would suspect the water inlet valve as being the problem,if it drains the water and spins the lid switch is going to be good.The thing exclusive to rinse cycles is that they only fill with cold water,and that is what i suspect the problem being is that it's not filling with cold water on the rinse cycle because of a bad water inlet valve.

Check that the cold water is turned on. The washing machine uses cold water to rinse, and if the cold water is not on, unit will end without completing cycle.

Check the door switch, if it's faulty the spin cycle will not work, but everything else will.

it is probably the belt, take off the back of the machine and look at the black rubber belt that spins the cleaning drum. The belts break after about 5 years, you can get a replacement belt at you local Asko dealer, I recall that is was pretty easy to change, like doing a bike chain, Talk to you Asko dealer about how to change it.

check teco coil on the back of the motor, it may have come loose'its about inch round thing it gives power to the the speed control module circuit board thats why its tumbleing too fast.bye Eamonn Ireland

Sounds like the motor brushes need to be cleaned or replaced. Take the back off the washer, remove the motor and gently scrape the excess carbon or debris off the brushes with a pocket knife. I did this and it ran well for about 50 loads before building back up. I am ordering new brushes now because when I checked the brushes last week they were obviously worn more than 4 weeks ago.

Do all of your cycles work when you turn them manually? If one cycle does not work when you turn the dial on it then it will be your timer (The dial assembly $100-up) If all your cycles work manually, then it could be your timer motor which is attached to your timer assembly. If you turn the dial pass the wash, on to the rinse, does the dial automaticly move (when finishng the rinse cycle)to the spin cycle? If so then your timer motor is ok. The only wires close to the bottom are the motor, but these should be high enough out of the way.
