When your Asko washing machine is making loud noise, especially when the washer is loud when spinning, start with the simplest cause: shipping bolts or the rear foam block may still be installed. These transport parts keep the tub from moving and must be removed before use. If the washer makes noise when spinning after that, a worn tub bearing is the most likely problem. A defective tub bearing can make the inner tub rumble, grind, or roar and usually requires extensive disassembly. If you also see water leaking from the bottom of the tub near the transmission, the tub seal and bearing kit may be failing. The rear drum with bearing, or a separate washing machine bearing, can cause the same noisy washing machine symptoms. Replacing the outer tub, rear drum, and bearing as an assembly may be recommended when available because pressing in a new bearing can be difficult. Finally, check for an improperly balanced load. Mixing very light and heavy items, or washing too few items, can cause banging and vibration during the spin cycle. Enter your Asko washer's model number to find the exact replacement tub bearing, seal kit, rear drum, or other part for your specific machine.
01 - Shipping bolts have not been removed
Shipping bolts and a foam block are often used when transporting new washing machines to prevent the tub from moving and becoming damaged. Confirm the bolts (located at the rear of the washer) and the foam block have been removed before operating the appliance.

02 - Asko Washing Machine Bearing
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing.

03 - Asko Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the washer is noisy during the spin cycle or is leaking from the bottom of the tub near the transmission, the tub seal and bearing are likely defective. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing the outer tub and bearing at the same time.

If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together.
The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult.
Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.
If there are light and heavy items in the same load, or too few items, the tub can spin out of balance. Wash items with aproximately the same weight together, and consider adding items if necessary, to better balance the load.
Highly Likely
07 - Washer not level
