I have Asko washing machine W600/Quattro 1000 and it is not closing the door all of a sudden - so not able to do washing.

Your Service Manual is here:

Asko W600 Service Manual

Try pages 20 ~ 22

Please refer page 12 and 24 in the washer manual to find out how to open the locked door. You have to press the door open button for 3 secs at end of cycle.


Asko Front Load Washer Use and Care Guide W6021 W6441 W6761...

Check to see if your model has a "out of balance" micro switch.
If it's tripped from you moving the unit around you may have to reset it manually. It will be mounted somewhere close to the outer perimeter of the tub. Can't say exactly where. Could be high or low.

Hello Greg, welcome to FixYa.
To address your post of the washer not spinning and your curiosity of a faulty pump...the pump may simply be obstructed preventing a proper drain, thus a compromised spin, they are directly related. These frontloaders will not spin until they drain sufficiently. (though a faulty drain pump is possible, it woud be the exception, not the rule).
There is typically a drain filter in the pump as you may or may not know, based on your description it may be clogged. You'll need to access it, clean it out via draining it through the pump "emergency drain hose" before you can in the end open the door (though usually once drained to a safe level it will open under normal procedures) however there should be a door lock release on Asko built machines...including the W600 series.
This is the procedure for machines of the past 10yrs. or so...(this is only an example, it may not be exact but essentially the same as yours)

Hopefully this will help. Let me know if anything is unclear or If I can assist you going forward. Thank you for choosing FixYa and good luck going forward.
Regards,
Macmarkus :)

Hi

First make sure that nothing is blocking the drain pump assembly located inside the bottom of the unit, after this test the door lock-switch assembly. If the door lock-switch is also fine then the control board should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Hi just read your posting.Now the place to buy all spare parts for ASKO washing machines is in MELBOURNE. Asko has their factory in Moorabbin.If you ring up directory assistance and ask for Asko"s phone number they will provide it.Then you can buy the motor over the phone and it will take a couple of days for delivery.Unfortunately I do not have the phone number off hand.By the way why are you replacing the motor,maybe I could help with the problem.Please reply to let me know how you got on.Looking forward to your reply.

hi yes you need to replace the inlet valve you have dirt in it,remove the top panel you will see the triple valve.its very easy to replace,

locate the filter and clean, this should cure

does it not have a manual door release pull next to the filter
