Re: Asko W6021 Mains Filter Blowup

Sorry for the late reply 1totalshambles, much appreciated your input.

Since there was a load of washing to be done the quickest repair was to replace the single 0.47uF capacitor plus two 4.7nF capacitors. And I had these parts already. The two inductors were undamaged.
It’s been working fine since then.

Re: Asko W6021 Mains Filter Blowup

Good news, bypassed the mains filter and the machine works!

New filter cost is over $70 so have taken a can opener to the old one, cut out the spewing capacitor and will replace the two .47uF capacitors. The inductors appear to be fine so it should be business as usual.

Again many thanks for your reply.

P.S. I think the truth lay some where between spoton and totalshambles.

Re: Asko W6021 Mains Filter Blowup

Many thanks totalshambles for your reply. It did come to mind to bypass the filter but I wasn’t sure if the control board circuit depended on the filter in some way. It’s good advice will try that and report back!
