VERIFIED
An E7 on the display of an Asko washer is labelled “Draining Error”. In plain terms, the machine tried to empty and the water stayed put. The WM85.1 instructions for use carry the entry, and the WM76S and WM76-86 series manuals repeat it.
Four things to look at on the WM85.1
- The pump filter should be clean.
- The drain hose must not be blocked.
- The drain it empties into must not be blocked.
- The drain hose has to sit at the proper height, which the installation chapter on the drain hose defines.
Once those are done, press Start. A second E7 after that means the next step is a technician visit.
How high the hose should run
The E7 row points to the hose installation chapter. There the hose end is placed 24 to 36 in (610 to 914 mm) above the bottom of the unit, and it should not be extended higher than 36 in (914 mm).
Extra points in the WM76S and WM76-86 series manuals
- Too much detergent can fill the drum with a larger amount of foam.
- Objects or debris may be lodged in the filter housing and the rotor.
- The drain hose should be set between the minimum and maximum heights.
- To carry on after the checks, those models use the Exit button.
Codes that sit close to E7
- E7.1: an alert that water flow is reduced while pumping.
- E7.2: a detergent excess that foams.
- E9: a leak in the machine area.
