INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY REGULATIONS INTRODUCTION You have in your hand the ASKO Service Manual for our 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 casing to a split casing. 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 possible from the front, all for simplifying service. We have also integrated service aids, such as hooks to hang parts on, i.e., the glass door, so that you can use both hands for installation. We hope this Service Manual will be a positive tool in your daily work. If you have any questions concerning servicing ASKO products, to contact the ASKO Advisory Center at: 1161 Executive Drive West Richardson, Texas 75081 972-238-0846 THE DIFFERENT MODELS The table below shows the Model numbers and the correlating model type: Model W600 W620 W640 W660 Type WM 33 (600-1000 rpm) WM 44 (600-1200 rpm) WM 55 (600-1400 rpm) WM 55 (600-1600 rpm) W600 and W620 are mechanical, programmercontrolled washing machines.
