Error codeE9 / E9.1
ApplianceWasher
Two codes, one message: E9 and E9.1 both report a water leak detected in the appliance area. They are listed for the WM76S and the WM76-86 series.
What happened inside
A leak sensor detects water on the bottom of the machine and triggers a shut-off system. When it trips, the program stops, the water supply is shut off, the pump runs and an error is signalled.
What to do, in order
Switch the washer off, then on.
Look over the outside of the appliance.
No leak found: the washer can stay in use.
Leak found: close the water valve and examine the drain hose, following the chapter on connecting the water drain hose. If that does not settle it, the next step is a technician visit.

E7: a draining error, and the drain hose figures in both.
A confirmed leak is a job for a technician. Our team serves San Francisco and the Bay Area; book Asko washer repair on (415) 993-3547 and say whether you saw E9 or E9.1, plus the model number.
Model compatibility: Asko reuses codes across series and model years, so E9 / E9.1 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
E9 and E9.1 mean a leak sensor found water in the washer's area.
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.
