Error code
Washer signal Unbalance (text)
Asko washer — reported by blinking lights rather than by a code. This make runs five separate washer code families. A meaning taken from another family is a wrong part, so the model code matters more here than the number does.
- From $95 diagnostic, credited to the repair
- 59 cities and neighborhoods covered
- OEM parts available on order
- In writing the price, before anything is opened
What we can confirm
Signal Unbalance (text), from the manufacturer's own documentation
This code has no number, because this equipment has no display to put one on. The appliance signals it instead — an alarm, a symbol or a pattern of lights — and what it means is recorded in the documentation that ships with it.

This make runs five separate washer code families. A meaning taken from another family is a wrong part, so the model code matters more here than the number does. Published for the same reason as its numbered twin: it looks like an error message and is not one.

What it narrows down to
Requires no action — the machine redistributes the load up to ten times.

What else belongs to the washers
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.
Other codes this appliance can display
The manual's instruction is to call the service division.
Overfilling — shut the water tap off.
Drainage — check the hose and the pump for a blockage or a kink.
Water inlet — check the tap is open and the inlet filter is not blocked.
The load is unevenly distributed — the machine will redistribute it and carry on.
Close the washer door and the program will start.
Shut the water tap off — the machine has too much water in it.
Check the hose and drain pump for a blockage or a kink; run a drain program to empty.
Check the tap is open and clean the inlet valve filter.
Overflow — shut the tap off and call service.

What the appliance is actually reporting
This make runs five separate washer code families. A meaning taken from another family is a wrong part, so the model code matters more here than the number does. Published for the same reason as its numbered twin: it looks like an error message and is not one.
Where this appears, and which table it belongs to
On the appliance's own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.
Which machines this one applies to
W6888 Allergy. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 8 of the appliance types this site publishes — cooktop, dishwasher, dryer, microwave, oven, range, refrigerator and washer — and publishes none at all for commercial line, freezer, microwave, oven, range, range hood and refrigerator. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.
What to do about it
- Nothing, unless it happens on every load.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is diagnostic visit, and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call (305) 363-1406 and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
