Error codeE1
ApplianceWasher
What the washer is saying
The display reads THERMISTOR ERROR with the note temperature sensor error, and Asko adds that the inlet water is too cold. This entry belongs to the WM85.1, a current washer.
What the instructions for use ask
Press INFO so the error description appears.
Turn the appliance off, then on.
Run the washing program again.
If E1 is reported a second time, book a technician visit.
A WM85.1 that repeats E1 can be reported on (415) 993-3547. Mention that the program has already been run twice, and give the model number. Our Asko washer repair page has the overview.
Model compatibility: Asko reuses codes across series and model years, so E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
E1 is a thermistor error: a temperature sensor error, noted with inlet water too cold.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, water lines, sealed cooling systems or anything behind a panel. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
