Those Asko machines are great - they're sold as Maytags here in the UK - rather pricey though! |

I bought it for my mum in 1994. I really liked it. It spun at 1500 and really dried the clothes well. Unfortunately, its circuit box blew 2 weeks later. My mother changed it for a Bauknecht, she didn't get on with the Asko electronics and wanted a basic dial. Thanks for the posting it really brought back memories. Rob |

Wow, Rob, I'm surpised - that really sounded like a brush motor to me. Induction motor technology these days makes different noises to 20 years ago. Nick |

Hey, I`m hoping mine doesnt sound like that....LOl, me thinks that pump is blocked it sounded like the water was taking too long to empty as you could hear it splashing against the drum, either that or the drum bearing was knocking, Mine are near silent, just the sound of water splashing against the S/steel drums, BUT, it does sound like a jet engine when it`s on spin, which I do like, I`m not sure I want Bendix Spins....Whooooshhhh!!!....will do a vid in the next day or two , Mike |
