Washer runs its corse but water will not strain

You should check the water outlet - probably discharges into your sink through a garbage disposal - the water outlet is likely plugged and water can not discharge down the sink. You can remove the hose and clean it out.

I think your water pump has died, or its little impeller broke.
The first thing to determine is: Can it pump out the water?
When the dial turns (itself) to "4", it begins an 11 minute period where it alternately runs the drain pump, while slowly tumbling the clothes CW then CCW. Do you see water coming out the drain hose? If you do, the pump & impeller are fine.
You might have a clogged "coin trap". That's the little basket behind the trap door on the front lower right corner. When this is opened, any water in the Washer will pour onto floor (or a catch pan), so be careful. Open the access door (pry it with a kitchen knife or screwdriver); slowly unscrew the "basket" (placing shallow pan or towel under it), and pull the basket out to remove any clogging buildup which could block the water from exiting. If the basket is not clogged, there could be a clog in the hoses. Pull the drain hose out of the drain pipe, and blow hard into the end. If the hose is not clogged, air will come out of the "basket" receptacle, which you can hear and feel.
If nothing is clogged, you're back to testing the pump. It is at the back right, bottom, where the drain hose exits the Washer. Pull the machine out to access the back; remove back (ten 1.5mm Torx screws); listen to see if drain pump motor hums (it doesn't run all the time); There are two wires connecting to the little motor - they are simply 120 Volt A/C (like from a wall outlet). You could pull the 2 connectors off and temporarily connect your own extension cord - to see if motor runs when A/C is applied. Being A/C, it doesn't matter which wire goes where. If the pump is bad, I have one. Call me at 703-851-6536.

if it doesn't fill the water valve will hum,first thing is to see if it's a problem with the house water valve or the washer valve,shut off the water supply,reomve the water hoses from the back of washer,mark the hoses so they go back on the same way,stick the hoses into the washer or a bucket and turn the water on,if water comes out of hoses then you know the problem is just the washer,check the valve,look at the screens where the hoses connect to the valve,usually sediment gets in there and the valve on the washer has to be replaced,on some the screens can be removed and cleaned,also you say you have trouble with the lock,what's humming is it the lock or the valve,if you turn it to drain and spin will it run?you could have a bad door switch,if door doesn't latch washer won't run but most likely bad water valve

This is called the washer spray nozzle.Did you try removing the hose and then blowing thru it?I always try blowing from the nozzle end back to the washer bottle.If you can remove the hose from the nozzle and blow back towards the washer bottle.If you can blow back to the bottle then you need to replace the nozzle.Hope this helps.Good luck.

You probably have a leaking solenoid. A solenoid is a valve that is either opened or closed. You have one for the hot water line, and one for the cold water line. The hoses from the wall go to the solenoid valves at the back of the machine. The machine tells them when to open and close based on what cycle you tell the machine to perform.
To figure which one is leaking by, shut off one of the water supplies (hot or cold) at the wall where your hoses connect. Wait a bit and see if the water continues to rise. You may have to mark the level in the tub with a pencil, or grease pencil to see if it is rising or not. If it is rising, that's the leaking side. If not, close the open valve at the wall, and open the other valve. Continue to observe to see if the water level rises (it should). Once you have determined which one is leaking by, disconnect (unplug) the washer, close the water valves, and follow the hose of the leaking side down to the washer. Where the hose screws on to the washer is the solenoid in question. Disconnect the hose, and catch the water in a pot or a bucket. Gain access to the solenoid (usually by taking the back off of the washer). Take careful notes as to how the wiring connects so reassembly isn't an issue. I make sketches showing where each wire goes, what color it is and so forth, and that's real handy. Remove the solenoid. Take the solenoid with you to an appliance parts supply house and get a replacement. The installation process is the reverse of the removal process.
Hope that this helps. Best regards, --W/D--

Hello and welcome to Fixya. With the Asko washer it is possible to have some coins and debris up in the hose which goes from the tub to the pump as well as downstream of the pump in the drain hose, it is a pretty small diameter and quarters, nickles, dimes and pennies can block it up entirely. It will require a very thorough check. You may in fact have a damaged pump as well. If you watch the pump impeller it should spin freely, if it just sits there with the impeller moving slightly back and forth it is faulty. In any event you'll need to either phone in a pro or remove the pump and hoses ( which are held by one-time clamps ) which will require installing new hose clamps and removing the lower service/access panel. Depending on the actual model of Asko washer you have the process of doing this will vary. Let me know how you make out or if you require further assistance. Thanks for visitng fixya, please rate this info accordingly or please let me know how I can help additionally. Good luck. Macmarkus :)

more than likely the pump is clogged if you pull the the washer out away from the wall and then lean it back to get under it there is a hole to access the under side you can reach through to the pump then disconnect the large hose that goes from the tub to pump reach down inside of this hose remove the cup that has debris in it and clear it out remove the debris and reassemble the washer

Ironically, the "FH" error is called a "No Water Detect" error. It can have several causes however. The error can be generated if there's no water, or not enough water flowing into the washer. It can also be generated if there's too much water. The following link explains:

Since your washer is over-filling, I would strongly suspect you have a pressure switch malfunction or the air hose that runs from the wash tub to the pressure swtich has come loose. The pressure swtich is located in the the right rear area of the washer and is accessed by removing the top panel of the washer. There is a small air hose that runs from the switch to the bottom of the wash tub. This air hose is used to detect the pressure differential in the tub as the washer fills. The pressure differential is sensed by the pressure swtich and it shuts off the water supply to stop filling. I would recommend you follow this air hose all the way to the bottom of the wash tub to ensure it is still attached. If not, the tub will continue to fill as yours is doing. Reattach the hose as necessary if it has come loose and the poblem should go away. Make sure you check the entire run of the hose to ensure there are no holes as well. Leaks will cause the pressure swtich to malfuction. If the air hose is still intact, replace the pressure swtich. The part number for a replacement pressure switch is 8181695. If you need to replace the air hose, the part number is W10004260. You can purchase parts at any of the following web sites:

searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com

The first three sites on the list offer helpful exploded view diagrams to assist you in part location/identification. The pressure switch and hose is listed under the "Top and Cabinet" heading if you search by model number.

The pressure hose replacement is simple. Make sure the washer is UNPLUGGED before servicing and disconnect the electrical connector plug(s) from the switch, disconnect the air hose and remove any mounting screws. Some of these switch are simply clipped onto the cabinet side.

If you have any questions about this repair, please post back and let me know. I hope this information helps you.
