What OVERFLOW means

An older ASKO W6641 or W6661 washer prints OVERFLOW on its LCD text display when the water in the drum climbs higher than the safe level. The washer stops the program to keep water from escaping. If the tap is still open and water keeps coming in, the inlet is not shutting off as it should, and that needs attention before another load.

Common causes of OVERFLOW

Inlet valve stuck partly open
Level sensor and the hose that feeds it
Control circuit that keeps the inlet open
Slow drain that lets the level build

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Close the water tap to the washer. 2. Turn the power off to clear the message, then drain any water left in the drum. 3. Leave the washer unused until it is checked, since the owner's manual advises a service call.

! Why to stop there

After you close the tap, we still need to learn why too much water entered, so we test the inlet valve and the level sensor
Water on the floor or in the base changes what we check first, so tell us when you book
Parts for older W6 washers are checked before we commit, and you see the price in writing first

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.

OVERFLOWOVERFLOW questions

What does OVERFLOW mean on an older ASKO washer?

The water level rose past the safe limit. The washer stops the program so the water does not spill, and the message stays until you act.

Should I close the tap?

Yes. Closing the tap stops more water from entering while the cause is unknown. Turn the power off to clear the message, then call us or use the online form to schedule service.

Will you repair a W6641 or W6661 with this message?

Yes. Many Houston households still use these washers. We look over the parts, put the price in writing ahead of the repair, and say so honestly if fixing it would not pay off.
