INTRODUCTION
You have in your hand the ASKO Service Manual for the new generation of washing
machines, that are friendly to the environment in both their manufacture and their
use.
This new generation of washing machines has been designed for ease of servicing. By
this we mean that it’s a simple job, for example, to replace a damaged side panel.
That’s why we’ve changed the design from a one-piece shell to a split shell.
To secure parts, we have replaced many of the screws by plastic snap fasteners. We
have also designed the machines so that you can perform as much servicing as pos-
sible from the front, all for simplifying service.
We have also integrated service aids, such as hooks to hang parts on, so that you can
use both hands for installation.
Presentation of the different models:
W600 and W620 - are programmer-controlled washing machines.
W640, W650 and W660 - are electronically-controlled washing machines.
W640, W650 and W660 can be user-programmed, and set to start the washing
program with a delay of up to 12 hours. You can choose from a total of eleven
different languages on the display, the number and choice of languages depend on
the market.
The W660 is also equipped with a rinsing sensor that can detect any detergent resi-
due in the rinse water, thus determining if any further rinsing is needed to obtain an
extra good rinse result. This is particularly important for people with sensitive skin.
Each model is available with two different front designs - with or without a front
loading door.
Servicing washing machines has to be easy, and just as it is important for us that the
customer shall be satisfied with our simple, able and durable 600 series, so we also
want to give you, the service engineer, the conditions to permit you to work effi-
ciently and satisfactorily.
We hope that this Service Manual will be a positive tool in your daily work, and you
are welcome, if you have any questions concerning servicing ASKO products, to
contact us at the after-sales department of ASKO Cylinda AB in Vara.
