Error guide
Code overview
Quick answer — Asko E3 water filling error on the WM85.1: what to check at the water inlet before pressing Start.
Water filling error.
Model note: ASKO reuses codes across series and model years, so E3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm against your model’s documentation and record the full model number before acting.
- Error code: E3
- Appliance: Washer
The Asko WM85.1 displays E3 for a water filling error: the washer is not taking in water the way it should.
Checks listed in the instructions for use
- Is the water inlet valve open?
- Is the filter on the water inlet hose clean?
- Is the water supply hose deformed, for example clipped or clogged?
After those checks, press the START button so the program resumes. When E3 reoccurs, the manual says to call a service technician.
Codes that may appear nearby
E40 is a voltage value message and E41 a frequency one; both are separate from filling.
