Asko Washer water is the wrong temperature

If your Asko washer has the wrong water temperature, the problem may be with the temperature sensor, temperature switch, or water inlet valve. The sensor monitors tub temperature and signals whether hot or cold water is needed, while the temperature switch controls power to the valve. Test these parts for proper electrical continuity with a multimeter and replace any part that fails. A damaged dispenser door can also contribute to incorrect temperature control. If those components check out, unplug the washer, shut off both water supplies, and inspect the fill hose and water inlet valve screens for debris that could restrict flow. Also verify that the hot and cold fill hoses are connected to the correct ports. Reversed hoses can make wash or rinse water seem wrong even when the washer is operating normally. A less common cause is a faulty temperature control switch that sends incorrect voltage to the valve solenoids. Whether you are troubleshooting an Asko washer water temperature problem or a washer not getting hot water, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine.

01 - Asko Washing Machine Temperature Sensor

The washer's temperature sensor determines whether more hot or cold water should be released by the water inlet valve to maintain an appropriate water temperature in the tub. If the sensor is faulty, the incoming water may be the wrong temperature. You can use a multimeter to test the sensor for appropriate electrical continuity. If the sensor tests inappropriately, the part will need to be replaced.

Highly Likely

02 - Asko Washing Machine Temperature Switch

The temperature selector switch allows power to be sent to the water inlet valve to release hot or cold water. If the temperature selector switch is faulty, the valve may only allow only one temperature of water to fill the tub. You can use a multimeter to test the switch for electrical continuity. If the switch tests negative for continuity, the part will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely

03 - Asko Washing Machine Dispenser Door

The temperature selector switch allows power to be sent to the water inlet valve to release hot or cold water. If the temperature selector switch is faulty, the valve may only allow only one temperature of water to fill the tub. You can use a multimeter to test the switch for electrical continuity. If the switch tests negative for continuity, the part will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely

04 - Clogged Screens in Fill Hose or Water Inlet Valve

All water valves have filter screens to prevent particles from clogging the valve or stop the valve from closing. For added protection and easier access, some fill hoses may have screens added to the hose washers/gaskets where the fill hose connects to the homes hot or cold shut-off valve. The screens in the water valve and hoses should be checked and cleaned if necessary. Unplug the machine. Turn off the water supply valves. Get a bucket to catch the remaining water in the hoses. Unthread the hoses from your machine and clean any debris from the filter screens.
Common

05 - Fill hoses reversed

If the fill hoses are not connected to the appropriate valve faucets or ports (one hose connecting the cold water supply valve to the washer's cold water inlet valve port and the other hose connecting the hot water supply valve to the hot water inlet valve port), the wash and rinse water temperatures will be reversed. Check that the fill hoses are connected correctly. There are usually markings next to the water inlet valve connections for the hot (H) and cold (C) designations.
Common

06 - Asko Washing Machine Temperature Control Switch

The temperature control switch switches power to either the cold or hot solenoid on the water supply valve to maintain the proper water temperature. If the temperature control switch is defective the water inlet valve may not receive the proper voltage to work properly. If the temperature control switch is not sending proper voltage to the water inlet valve solenoids it will need to be replaced.
