How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing any control boards.
- Step 1 – Access control boards: Remove the top and rear panels to locate the main PCB and any separate motor/inverter board (often near the motor or side wall).
- Step 2 – Check harness connections: Reseat the multi-pin connectors between the boards. Inspect for bent pins, corrosion, or damaged wires.
- Step 3 – Inspect boards: Look for burnt components or cracked solder joints on both boards. Any visible damage usually requires board replacement.
- Step 4 – Power quality: Ensure the washer is connected to a properly grounded outlet and not sharing a circuit with heavy inductive loads that can cause surges.
Communication errors are typically level 5 repairs; contact an Asko service center for board-level diagnosis and replacement.
