Asko Washing Machine Dispenser Drawer
If a washer is leaking water, you should confirm the dispenser drawer is completely closed and free of damage. If the drawer is cracked, the component could be responsible for the leak and should be replaced.
Wrong type or incorrect amount of detergent
If you have a front-load washer, be certain that you are using an HE – high efficiency – detergent. HE detergent is formulated to be low-sudding and to be used with the lower water levels utilized by front-load washers. Front-load washers have a small overflow system usually on the back of the appliance. If you have too many suds, they are probably escaping from there.
Asko Washing Machine Transmission
Since the transmission shaft extends into a top-load washer’s inner tub, a transmission bearing or tub seal that is damaged could potentially cause the tub to leak near the motor area. For some models, these components may only be sold as an assembly, you may need to replace the entire transmission assembly to solve the leaking problem.
Asko Washing Machine Door Boot Seal
The door boot seal might be torn, causing water to leak from the seal. If the boot seal is torn, replace it.
Asko Washing Machine Tub-to-Pump Hose
The tub-to-pump-hose might be split or torn. If the tub-to-pump-hose is damaged, replace it. Do not attempt to cut off the damaged piece of hose and stretch the hose to fit the pump. Stretching the hose will put strain on the remainder of the hose and may cause the hose to suddenly rupture.
Asko Washing Machine Boot Seal Retaining Ring
The boot seal retaining ring is the component used to secure the door boot seal on front-load washing machines. If the retaining ring is broken or missing, the boot seal can become dislodged and allow water to leak out through the closed door during operation. Inspect the boot seal retaining ring for damage and replace if necessary.
Asko Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve
A washing machine water inlet valve allows water to fill the tub prior to the agitation and rinse cycles. If water is leaking out of the washer during a fill cycle, it’s likely the water inlet valve or a hose connected to it is damaged. Inspect the valve housing for any cracks and the attached hoses for holes or tears and replace if necessary.
Asko Washing Machine Drain Hose
The drain hose may be leaking. The drain hose most commonly leaks from the connection between the pump and the back of the washer. If the washer is pushed too far against the wall, the hose can rub against the wall and form a leak. Inspect the drain hose for leaks. If the drain hose is leaking, replace it.
Asko Washing Machine Fill Hose
Inspect the hot and cold fill hoses to confirm the the hoses are securely fastened to both the home’s water supply valves and the washing machine’s water inlet valve intake ports. You should also confirm the hoses have no holes or tears. It is recommended that the fill hoses be replaced every five years regardless of condition.

You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test the power output terminals on the board after reviewing the appliance’s wiring diagram.
Door or lid not closing properly
Make sure the lid or door is closed completely. Remove any obstructions. Confirm the door strike on the door or lid is not broken. If it is broken, you will need to replace the door strike.
Insufficient water supply
Make sure the water supply is flowing into the tub. If the water supply is slow or not entering the tub at all, the washer will stop ahead of the spin cycle while waiting for the tub to fill. This can be caused by a clogged water inlet valve, the main water supply valve being partially closed, or low water supply pressure from the home.
Asko Washing Machine Stator Assembly
The stator interacts with the rotor to create a strong electromagnetic field which rotates the tub in either direction. If the windings on the stator are damaged, the washer will not spin or agitate. Check the stator for damaged windings or other defects.
Asko Washing Machine Rotor Assembly
The rotor interacts with the stator to create a strong electromagnetic field, which rotates the tub in either direction. If the magnets on the rotor are damaged, or any part of the rotor is defective, the washer may not spin or agitate. To determine if the rotor is defective, inspect the rotor for damage. If the rotor is damaged, replace it.
Asko Washing Machine Shift Actuator
A shift actuator is the component used on top-load washers to change the tub rotation from agitate to spin. If the tub is not spinning at all, a broken shift actuator may be responsible. You should inspect the component for damage and replace if necessary.
Asko Washing Machine Tub Bearing
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub of the washing machine. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing is defective, it can lock up and prevent the washer from spinning. The washer may also make a loud rumbling noise. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing as an assembly.

Asko Washing Machine Drain Pump
A washing machine drain pump assists in removing the water from the tub by forcing the water through a drain hose to a laundry tub or drain pipe. Since water may be drained from the tub multiple times during a wash cycle, a defective drain pump may interrupt operation and prevent the tub from spinning during the spin cycle. If there is still water in the tub after the washer stops, inspect the drain pump for any obstruction. You can also use a multimeter to test the drain pump for electrical continuity to help determine if the pump is able to function or not.
Asko Washing Machine Rear Drum with Bearing
The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy and the tub can stop spinning. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult. Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.
Asko Washing Machine Bearing

The drive motor might be defective. However, the drive motor is rarely at fault for this symptom. Before replacing the drive motor, first check all of the more commonly defective washer components. If none of those components are defective, consider replacing the drive motor. To determine if the drive motor is defective, first ensure that the motor is getting power. If the drive motor hums but doesn’t run, is noisy, or does not turn freely, replace it.
Asko Washing Machine Basket Drive
The basket drive sits on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaging to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the spin tube tabs may be stripped. Alternatively, the drive block on the spin tube may be stripped. Inspect both the spin tube tabs and the drive block. If the spin tube tabs and drive block are not worn out, the clutch pads on the basket drive are likely worn out. If the clutch pads are worn out, you must replace the basket drive.
Asko Washing Machine Door Strike
The washing machine door or lid will need to be closed for the washer to go into the spin cycle. If the door or lid strike is broken, it won’t be able to engage with the lock or latch assembly and won’t signal the appliance that the door or lid is fully closed. Inspect the strike for damage and replace if necessary.
Asko Washing Machine Transmission
The washer transmission might be worn out or defective. Transmissions have gears in them that can fail causing the washer to not spin. However, this is almost never the case. Before replacing the transmission, first check all of the other more commonly defective parts.
