Asko Washer has a burning smell

When your Asko washer has a burning smell, unplug it and inspect the machine before running another cycle. A washing machine burning smell most often comes from the rotor and stator kit, especially if the stator coils are wet, shorted, smoking, or visibly burnt. Next, check the main control board, motor control board, and control board for burn marks caused by a power surge or failed component. A worn water pump belt can slip on the pulleys, while a worn or frayed drive belt can create friction and make the washer smell like burning rubber. Check that the water pump, motor pulley, idler pulley, and other belt-driven parts turn freely, since a seized component can quickly overheat a belt. These are the most likely causes of an Asko washer burning smell, but the correct repair depends on the model and symptoms. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement rotor and stator kit, control board, motor control board, water pump belt, or drive belt for your specific washing machine. Stop using the washer if you see smoke, melted wiring, or severe burning, and inspect the wire harness and connections before replacing parts.

01 - Asko Washing Machine Rotor and Stator Kit

The stator is part of a direct drive motor that electrically drives the outer rotor. If the stator coils become wet or the coated wires on the coils short out, they can produce a burning smell. You can test the stator coils with a meter. If the stator is smoking, or smells burnt, it will need to be replaced.

02 - Asko Washing Machine Main Control Board

The main control board provides power to the various components of the washer. If the control board receives a power surge, or a component fails, the control board can short-out causing a burning smell. Inspect the control board for burn marks. A burnt main control board will need to be replaced.

06 - Asko Washing Machine Drive Belt

If the drive belt is worn or frayed it can slip on the pulley causing friction and a burning smell. Also check the components the belt is turning to make sure they turn freely. A stuck water pump or idler pulley can create enough friction to cause the belt to burn.
