Asko Washer won't start
If your Asko washer won't start, first confirm both the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. A washer may not begin the cycle if it cannot fill. If the valves are open, the user control and display board is the next likely cause, especially when some buttons work but others do not, or the display is blank even though the board has power. A defective timer can also prevent the washing machine from starting, but test the more common parts first and check the timer for continuity using the wiring diagram. Make sure the door or lid is completely closed, since the washer will not run when the door is open. Finally, test the line fuse with a multimeter. If it lacks continuity, replace it, but also check for shorted wires, the motor, or the drain pump so the replacement fuse does not blow again. Whether your washer won't power on or has power but won't start, enter your model number to find the exact replacement user interface board, timer, door latch, or line fuse for your specific Asko washing machine.

02 - Asko Washing Machine User Control and Display Board
To determine if the user control and display board is defective, try pressing the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons work, but others do not work, the control and display board might need to be replaced. Additionally, if the display is not working, check the power to the user control and display board. If the user control and display board has power, but it isn’t working, replace it.

06 - Asko Washing Machine Line Fuse
The line fuse blows if the washer circuits are overloaded. If the line fuse blows, the washer won’t start. To determine if the line fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, you should investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to blow. Check for shorted out components such as the wires, motor, or drain pump. If you don’t resolve the underlying issue, the new fuse will blow too.
Highly Likely
07 - Asko Washing Machine Thermal Fuse
If the washer overheats, the thermal fuse will blow. If the line fuse blows, the washer won’t start. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, you should investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to blow. If you don’t resolve the underlying issue, the new fuse will blow too.
