# Asko Washer Error Codes: Five Families, and How to Tell Which Is Yours

Five code families run across the Asko washers in South Florida laundry rooms. They are not versions of one another, and the model number is what tells them apart.

## Which panel are you looking at?

- A **numeric display** that shows F10, F11 or F12 — the W6xxx display machines.- A **display that prints E-numbers**, anywhere from E0 to E37 — the WM75 platform, documented on the W4114C.- A **row of numbered LEDs** with F1, F3, F4 or F6 — the W6222 and W6342 generation.- **Plain indicator lights** signaling L1 to L6 — the older analog machines.- A **panel that writes sentences** rather than codes: Close the Door, and plain-English messages naming the water outlet, the water inlet, the wash motor or the door.

Everything after this depends on which of those five you have.

## The trap that costs the most

The L-family is the one to be careful with, because two machines of the same era do not agree. On the W6022, L1 means the door is not closed, L2 is overfilling, L3 is a drainage problem and L4 is a water intake problem. On the W6324, L1 is an overflow, L2 is a water outlet problem, L3 is a water inlet problem and L4 is an imbalance that needs no action at all.

Read that again: on one machine L4 means the supply has a problem, and on the other it means the machine has already sorted itself out and carried on. Nothing but the model sticker separates them.

## What the families agree about

Underneath the labels the machine is doing the same small number of things, and the free checks are the same across all five families.

**Water will not go out.** Empty the drum through the small drain hose behind the lower panel, then unscrew the pump filter cap and clear it. Check the hose behind the machine is not crushed and the standpipe it goes into is draining.

**Water will not come in.** Both taps fully open, both hoses straight, and the inlet screens at the valves clean. On this water the screens silt up faster than most people expect.

**The door will not release.** Drain the machine first — the lock stays engaged while there is water inside, and that is correct behavior rather than a failure. Then power off at the wall for five full minutes.

## What to write down before calling

The model number from the sticker, the exact characters on the panel, and whether the machine had drained. Those three together turn five possible tables into one, and they change what goes on the van.

## Why we sell an hour just for this

Establishing which platform a machine is on is real work with a real value on this make, and it is the only job on our list whose entire product is information. For anyone intending to keep the machine another decade it is the cheapest useful thing we do, and it is credited in full against a repair booked in the same visit.
