Asko Washer takes too long
When your Asko washer is taking too long to wash, start by checking the hot and cold water supply valves. Both valves must be fully open. A closed or partially closed valve can keep the machine from filling or delay the start of the cycle, which may explain why your washer cycle is too long. If the supply valves are open, the heating element is the next likely cause. A defective heating element may prevent the washer from reaching the selected water temperature, extending the wash time. Test the element for electrical continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it fails. A restricted or defective water inlet valve is another possible cause of a washing machine taking too long. Confirm that household water pressure is adequate, clean debris from the valve's inlet screens, and replace the valve if the washer still fills slowly. These checks can help diagnose why your washer takes so long without replacing the entire appliance. Enter your Asko washer's model number to find the exact heating element or water inlet valve replacement part for your specific machine.
01 - Water supply valve turned off
Confirm that both the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. If the valves are closed or partially open the washer won't fill or will take longer to start the wash cycle.
Highly Likely
02 - Asko Washing Machine Heating Element
Many washers use a heating element to raise the temperature of the water entering the tub. A defective element may cause the washer to take too long to clean its load. You can use a multimeter to test the heating element for electrical continuity. If the element tests negative for continuity, you'll know the heating element is faulty and will need to be replaced.

03 - Asko Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the washing machine. If the water inlet valve is defective, the wash may fill slowly or not fill at all. The water inlet valve requires sufficient water pressure to function properly. First, check the water pressure to determine that it is adequate. If the water pressure is adequate, try cleaning the screens inside the water inlet valve hose connection ports. If the washer still fills slowly, replace the water inlet valve.
