I have an Asko W640. I'm very happy with it in general, but have often felt it would be better if it had a slightly higher water level. It's a fully electronic machine, so I can control termperature and spin speed without a problem. It crossed my mind that water level might be a programmable parameter that a technician could access. I'm therefore wondering if anybody knows if this can be done. Does anyone perhaps have access to a service manual for this machine?

On the old ASEA machines and ASKO without electronics it was easy...you'ld press the gentle wash button and more water would come in and then repress and you would go back to normal agitation...
I found it on Retrevo...and it's free...

Almost, but not quite
Hi Chris,
I figured the electronic machines would be a harder nut to crack
The Retrevo link is good, but only has the brochures and installation instructions that came with the machine. I was hoping to track down a service manual on the off-chance that it may have programming information in it. Hopefully there's something there that could adjust the water levels.
Any thoughts?

mmmm.....not really.
The operation manual is there too, but that doesn't tell you either I don't think

I have an ASKO W6562. I can increase the water level by repeatedly pressing the start/stop button:
-Start the machine and let it fill.
-When the filling stops, press the start/stop button till the display says "stop".
-Press the start/stop button again and another 5 litres or so of water will be added.
-You can repeat this until the water level is about halfway the drum, after that the safety feature takes control and starts emptying the drum.
This works only in the normal wash program, not the gentle/woolens program.
