INTRODUCTION You have in your hand the ASKO Service Manual for the new generation of washing machines, that are friendly to the environment in both their manufacture and their use. This new generation of washing machines has been designed for ease of servicing. By this we mean that it’s a simple job, for example, to replace a damaged side panel. That’s why we’ve changed the design from a one-piece shell to a split shell. To secure parts, we have replaced many of the screws by plastic snap fasteners.
SAFETY REGULATIONS SAFETY REGULATIONS GENERAL • The electrical and plumbing installations shall be carried out by a qualified electrician and plumber respectively. SERVICE WARNING Always switch off the main electrical power supply when dismantling and assembling the washing machine. • Always use an earthed EMC wristband when working with electrical components, such as panel and program control printed circuit boards.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION TRANSPORT SUPPORTS Before the machine can be used, the 3 transport supports must be removed. Each transport support consists of a screw, a washer and a transport sleeve. The transport sleeves are used after the supports have been removed, to plug the holes in the transport beam. 2 Removing the transport support 1. Undo the screw and remove the washer. 2. Remove the transport sleeve by first raising it up and than taking it out. 3.
INSTALLATION LOCATION OF THE WASHING MACHINE The washing machine can be either free-standing or built in. A. Free-standing The washing machine can be located as a freestanding unit. B. Built-in The washing machine can be built in under a work top with a working height of 850 - 900 mm. Leave a 5 mm gap all round the machine, including a space between the rear edge of the top cover and the wall behind it.
INSTALLATION WATER CONNECTION The machine is plumbed in with the connection hose that comes with it. The water pressure shall be 0.1-1MPa (approx. 1-10kp/cm2 ; 10-100N/ cm2). The water supply must have a stop cock. If the piping is new, it can be advisable to first thoroughly flush it through so that any dirt will be flushed out. Otherwise, any dirt in the piping could block the filter in the machine's inlet valve and stop the water supply.
MOTORFUNKTIONS MOTOR FUNCTIONS Soaking Clockwise 9 seconds on, 6 seconds off, counterclockwise 9 seconds on, 6 seconds off, and so on. Normal operation Clockwise 12 seconds on, 3 seconds off, counterclockwise 12 seconds on, 3 seconds off, and so on. Delicate operation Clockwise 3 seconds on, 27 seconds off, counterclockwise 3 seconds on, 27 seconds off, and so on. Wool wash Clockwise 3 seconds on, 57 seconds off, counterclockwise 3 seconds on, 57 seconds off, and so on.
MOTOR FUNCTIONS Selected spin drying speed 600-900 rpm (long and short spin dry) A maximum of 10 restarts at limit no. 3 to try to reach the selected spin drying speed. If the out-of-balance is still too great in the final, tenth, attempt, the program will continue without performing spin drying. This is indicated on the display after the program has finished.
FAULT TRACING FAULT TRACING The machine will not start 1. Check that the washing lid is closed properly. 2. Check the fuses for the house electricity supply. 3. W620: Check that the Delayed start button 5h is not pressed in. W640, W650 and W660: Check that the Delayed start symbol is not being shown on the display. The machine will not work 1. Measure the voltage between PF1 and PF3 (W600 and W620) also between E1-1 and E1-2 (W640, W650 and W660).
FAULT TRACING Metallic sounds are heard from the rear of the machine. 1. Remove the rear cover plate and investigate the cause. The programmer does not work (W600 and W620) 1. Check that the programmer motor runs. The machine does not fill with water 1. Check for error messages. 2. Check that the water stop cock is open. 3. Measure the voltage at the inlet valve and the outputs from the program control board, see the electrical schematic diagrams. 4. Check the level switch and its hose. 5.
PROBLEMS PROBLEMS COMMON QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS The lid will not open Check that the main power switch is on. The machine will not start If the lid is closed, check the house fuses. The machine will not take in water 1. Is the stop cock open? 2. Check that the inlet hose filter is not blocked. Foam in the last rinse, water remains in the machine 1. Check that the drain hose is not blocked or sharply kinked. 2. Check to see if the drain pump is blocked.
PROBLEMS Chemicals Textiles that have been in contact with chemicals, such as battery acid, solution for perming hair, bleach, lavatory cleaner or acne-removing agent, must be rinsed as quickly as possible to prevent holes or stains. Do not let unrinsed textiles come into contact with other material. Iron-free garments Wash these in a half-full machine. These garments should not be mixed in with heavier washing such jeans or large bath towels. Fading, discoloration 1. Follow the washing advice. 2.
