How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply.

Step 1 – Access pressure sensor: Remove the top panel. Locate the round or rectangular pressure sensor with a small hose attached.
Step 2 – Inspect hose: Remove the hose from the sensor and from the tub/air chamber. Rinse it under warm water to clear any soap or lint. Ensure it is not kinked when reinstalled.
Step 3 – Clean air trap: At the tub connection, clean the air chamber or nipple where the hose attaches. Detergent buildup here can block airflow.
Step 4 – Electrical test: Check the sensor connector for corrosion or loose pins. Measure sensor resistance or voltage output according to Asko service data. Replace the pressure sensor if readings are out of spec.
Step 5 – Wiring continuity: If the sensor is good, test the continuity of the wiring harness from the sensor to the main PCB.

Reassemble and run a test cycle. If E08 persists, the main control board may be at fault.

Washer displays E08 and may not start or may stop during a cycle; this is often related to water level sensing.
