Possible Causes

Worn rear drum bearings, Failed tub seal allowing water into bearings, Damaged drum spider shaft, Corroded bearing housing in Asko outer tub

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Loud mechanical failures can lead to further damage if ignored.

  • Step 1 – Confirm source: Spin the empty drum by hand. A rough, grinding feel or rumbling noise indicates bearing issues.
  • Step 2 – Check pulley and belt: Remove the rear panel and inspect the drum pulley and belt for looseness or damage. Tighten pulley bolt if loose.
  • Step 3 – Evaluate repair scope: Bearing replacement on Asko washers usually requires removing the entire tub assembly and pressing out bearings and seals, or replacing the complete rear tub half.

This is a complex level 5 repair. In most cases, contact an Asko-authorized technician or consider tub assembly replacement.
