Asko Brake / Motor Control Delay

Washer drum does not stop immediately after pressing Pause or opening door (where door can open mid-cycle)

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Normal controlled stop behavior, Faulty door interlock not signaling open, Motor control not braking correctly

Safety first: Never attempt to force the door open while the drum is spinning.

Step 1 – Understand behavior: Many Asko washers take a few seconds to brake the drum after Pause is pressed. This is normal.
Step 2 – Check door lock: If the door can be opened while the drum is still moving, the door lock may be faulty and should be replaced.
Step 3 – Professional check: If the drum continues spinning for an unusually long time, have the motor control system inspected.
