How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep clear of the washer while it is violently shaking. Unplug before internal checks.
- Step 1 – Redistribute load: Pause the cycle, open the door when safe, and redistribute laundry evenly. Avoid mixing heavy items with light ones.
- Step 2 – Check installation: Ensure the washer is level front-to-back and side-to-side using an adjustable wrench on the leveling feet.
- Step 3 – Remove shipping bolts: On new installations, verify that all rear shipping bolts and transit brackets have been removed per Asko instructions.
- Step 4 – Inspect suspension: Remove top and rear panels. Check springs and shock absorbers for breakage, oil leakage, or detachment. Replace worn shocks with Asko-specific parts.
