Asko Washer Supply Hose Notice | Replacement Guide

Asko washer supply hose notice — read this important safety alert for full details and affected models.

Replacing Asko washer water supply hoses every five years is one of the most cost-effective steps a homeowner can take to prevent catastrophic water damage, as hose burst failures are among the leading causes of appliance-related home flooding. Asko W6000 and W4000 series washers use hot and cold inlet hoses with standard 3/4-inch BSP fittings.

Standard rubber hoses degrade from the inside out, making visual inspection alone insufficient for assessing condition. The internal rubber layer can delaminate and create a partial blockage or pressure weak point years before any external cracking is visible. Stainless steel braided hoses offer superior burst resistance and are a recommended upgrade for all Asko washer installations.

Warning Signs to Look For

• Hose age exceeding five years (rubber) or ten years (stainless braided)
• Blistering, cracking, or discoloration on the hose exterior
• Rust or corrosion visible at either end fitting
• Dripping or moisture around the wall supply valve connection
• Kink mark at any point along the hose run

Replacement Steps

1. Turn off both hot and cold water supply valves behind or beside the washer.
2. Place a towel or shallow tray under each connection to catch residual water.
3. Unscrew the old hoses by hand (counterclockwise) from both the wall valve and the washer inlet.
4. Inspect the washer inlet valve screen for debris and clean if necessary.
5. Thread new stainless braided hoses hand-tight onto the valve and inlet, then snug with pliers — do not overtighten, which can crack the inlet valve body.
6. Turn water supply back on and inspect both connections for drips while the washer fills.

When to Call a Technician

If the wall supply valve is corroded or will not shut off completely, call a licensed plumber before attempting hose replacement. If the Asko inlet valve screen is clogged or the valve solenoid feels sticky when the washer fills, schedule a service call to inspect the full water inlet system.
