Possible Causes
Worn rear drum bearings, Failed bearing seal allowing water ingress, Worn drive belt or pulley, Foreign object trapped between drum and tub
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power. Sharp edges and heavy components are present.
- Check for foreign objects: Spin the drum by hand. If you hear scraping, inspect the drum holes with a flashlight for bra wires, nails, or coins. Remove any visible objects with pliers.
- Inspect belt and pulley: Remove the rear panel and check the drive belt and drum pulley. Replace a frayed or glazed belt and tighten a loose pulley bolt.
- Assess bearings: With the belt removed, spin the drum by hand. Roughness, rumbling, or play when lifting the drum up and down indicates bearing failure.
Bearing replacement on Asko combos is a major repair requiring tub removal and press tools; this is typically a technician-level job.
