What WATER OUTLET FAULT means

Older ASKO W6641 and W6661 washers use the LCD to print a water outlet message when the drum will not empty. The program stops, and water stays inside with your clothes. A blocked pin trap or a kinked drain hose is the usual cause, so those are the first two checks in the owner's manual.

Common causes of WATER OUTLET FAULT

Pin trap blocked with coins, pins or lint
Outlet hose kinked or squeezed
House drain that is slow or clogged
Drain pump that is weak or blocked

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check the pin trap for blockage and clean it, with towels and a shallow pan placed beneath. 2. Make sure the outlet hose is not kinked. 3. Turn the power off or change the program to clear the message. 4. Restart the program. 5. If the message returns, schedule service.

! Why to stop there

When the trap and hose are clear, we turn to the pump motor and its wiring, tested with water in the drum
We check the house drain, because a slow drain can look like a washer problem
Parts for these older washers are verified before repair, and the price is put in writing beforehand

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

WATER OUTLET FAULTWATER OUTLET FAULT questions

What does the water outlet message mean on my ASKO washer?

The drum would not empty. The program halts with water still inside until the drain trouble is cleared.

What is the pin trap?

It is the small trap that catches coins, pins and lint before they reach the pump. The owner's manual tells you to check it for blockage when this message appears.

Will you repair a W6641 or W6661 drain problem?

Yes. These older washers are still common here. After we verify parts, you get the price on paper, and the finished work carries our 30-day workmanship warranty.
