Asko Dryer vibrating or shaking
If your Asko dryer is vibrating or shaking while running, the most likely causes are a failing drive motor or worn motor bearings that keep the drum from turning smoothly. A bad motor often makes a grinding noise or a loud rattle when the drum turns; if the motor shaft does not spin freely by hand, the motor needs replacement. Next check the drum support bearing, which will cause vibration if it is worn or damaged. Worn or missing felt seals on the drum or bulkhead can let the drum wobble and rub, and a stuck or worn idler pulley or idler assembly can prevent the drive belt from holding steady, also producing squeaks, grinding, or other loud noise. Run the dryer empty, listen for where the sound is coming from, then stop and spin the drum by hand to feel for rough spots. If you find noisy bearings, damaged seals, or a seized pulley, those parts are the repairs to make.

01 - Asko Dryer Drive Motor
A drive motor that is wearing out will be unable to rotate the dryer drum efficiently, resulting in the dryer vibrating or shaking during operation. As the motor bearings began to wear out, the drive motor will often make a grinding noise. If the motor is noisy or the motor shaft does not turn freely by hand, the component should be replaced.

04 - Asko Dryer Felt Seal
Felt seals can be found on the front or rear bulkhead of the dryer or on the front and back rims of the drum itself. A worn or missing felt seal can interfere with the dryer drum rotating smoothly, resulting in the appliance vibrating or shaking during operation. Inspect the felt seal or seals for wear or damage and replace as necessary.

05 - Asko Dryer Idler Pulley
A worn or stuck idler pulley may be unable to smoothly allow the drive belt to rotate the drum efficiently, resulting in the appliance vibrating or shaking. Inspect the pulley for any wear or damage and confirm it rotates freely. If the pulley shows signs of damage or doesn't turn easily it should be replaced.
Highly Likely
06 - Asko Dryer Idler Assembly
A worn or stuck idler assembly may be unable to smoothly allow the drive belt to rotate the drum efficiently, resulting in the appliance vibrating or shaking. Inspect the idler assembly for any wear or damage and confirm the pulley rotates freely. If the assembly shows signs of damage or the pulley doesn't turn easily the idler assembly should be replaced.
