If your Asko washer won't spin, the problem may be caused by an unbalanced tub or a failed part that prevents the drive system from operating. On a top-load model, broken or dislodged suspension rods can keep the washer from reaching spin speed while the control board repeatedly tries to balance the load. Next, check the lid switch assembly, which must signal that the lid is closed before the washer can spin. A broken motor coupling, often caused by overloading or normal wear, can stop power from reaching the transmission. Inspect the drive belt for breaks, looseness, or signs that it has slipped off the pulleys. For a front-load Asko washer not spinning, make sure the door is fully closed and the door strike is not damaged or obstructed. If these parts check out, a faulty control board may not be sending voltage to the drive motor during the spin cycle. Unplug the washer before testing or replacing parts, and use a multimeter when required. Enter your model number to find the exact suspension rod, lid switch, motor coupling, drive belt, door strike, or control board for your Asko washing machine.
01 - Asko Washing Machine Suspension Rod
A top-load washer tub is usually supported by four suspension rods. If one of the suspension rods becomes dislodged or breaks, the control board may stop the spin cycle several times to try to balance the clothes. Suspension rods will often come in a set of four and it is recommended to replace all four of the rods at the same time to reduce uneven wear.

The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not spin. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test the lid switch for continuity. If the lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.
The motor coupling connects the motor to the washing machine transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine if it is broken. If the motor coupling is broken, replace it.
Make sure the door is closed completely and remove any obstructions preventing the door from closing. Confirm the door strike on the door is not broken. If it is broken, you will need to replace the door strike.

06 - Asko Washing Machine Control Board
Since a washing machine control board provides voltage to nearly all of the washer's electrical components, a faulty board may not be sending power to the drive motor during the spin cycle. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test the power output terminals on the board after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.
