That Asko set is a rather old one. It must be over 20 years.

 

[ovrphil]

foraloysius - that ASKO pair look interesting to me, although I have no experience with them. I like their form, button layout and options, just an outside viewpoint. Have you owned a pair similar or like them before?

 

[foraloysius]

Phil

No, I have no experience with them. They were not widely available here in the Netherlands back then. Only selected dealers sold Asko, chains didn't get them. Actually it's more or less still that way.

 

[ovrphil]

Thanks Louis - they did look older to me and reminded me in form, a little of our Frigidaire Gallery FL W&D set we enjoyed. Have a great weekend.

"Who will BUY?!"

Hmmmm--the Mont. Ward "everything" washer is in (to me) nearby Madison Heights, MI...!

 

Something's making me say: "I WOOD!"

DaveAmKrayoGuy/ Dave : I'd check it out, if close by - it's just a MW Signature, but it has alot of buttons. LOL! Makes a loud noise, what kind of a loud noise and is it constant or occurs on start-up only?

Asko set are from around the 1990's or maybe late 1980's, cannot recall. Do remember they were being sold around the same time Miele first began offering laundry appliances here in NYC (10XX and later 19xx series washers), and indeed both were part of the introduction of 208v-240v washing machines to the USA at that time.

Like Miele the washer connected to a plug on the dryer so only one outlet was required. There may have been a special adapter box as what Miele as well.

Those are true made in Sweden units and were prized for the washer's ability to do true boil washes (temps >200F IIRC) with a cold water only connection. They were also more generous with water usage than today. Build quality was and is streets ahead of what came later after Asko sold parts or all of it's laundry business to others. Merloni (sp?) got the North American market and many report nothing but trouble with units. In UK and Asko units are badged "Maytag" IIRC.

Anyone considering purchasing should check with Asko USA about availability of spares. Also if you think Miele's service distribution in USA was pitiful, Asko is probably worse. Unless you luck out and find someone with experience on these units, most likely you'll be on your own repair wise.

 

[gansky1]

I think you're correct, L, that's the exact same Asko set I had and IIRC it was from the early 90's. I loved that boil-wash. Parts were a little harder to find but with some help from this fine group, I had spares and the machine running again in short order. Nearly ten years ago, there was only one company that serviced Asko in our city, but now the service and parts network is better.

 

[ovrphil]

Launderess - I've known about ASKO for years, but never owned or saw one operate. Someone I knew or met owned an ASKO washer and/or dryer and loved it. But I didn't know about the heating, the w/d electrical connection that created a one-plug electrical requirement, and only a cold-water source. NICE features! If I could collect washers, dryers,and dishwashers, I think some ASKO's would be included.

Your comments led me to look and find a condensed ASKO history on WIKI:
