Most common issues on this model
- Selector or buttons ignored at program start
- Load left soaked after the final spin
- Pump not clearing the drum
- Thumping or grinding at spin speed
The 8005 is one of the oldest ASKO washing machines we are asked about, a model that left the lineup long ago. Some are still in garages and spare laundry rooms in Houston, kept by owners who see no reason to replace a washer that still runs.
A machine this age earns a plain conversation, so we start with the cheap checks that fix many calls: the pump filter, the drain hose and the door switch. Then we look at the parts that wear over decades, such as the drum bearings and the shock mounts that hold the tub steady. If the selector does nothing, we trace power and the control before condemning it.
We read the full number from the serial plate and confirm which parts can still be found before we repair. Some will take time or cannot be sourced at all, and we tell you that first. The price is in writing before work begins, and if the repair does not make sense, we say so.

Error codes this model can show
Is an ASKO 8005 old enough that repair is pointless?
Not automatically. Many are mechanically sound, and the common problems are simple ones like a clogged pump filter. We inspect, check parts, and tell you honestly if replacing it would be wiser.
The washer leaves the load soaked. What do you look at?
We check that the pump clears the drum and that the drive spins it up. A soaked load almost always comes down to one of those two, so we test them first.
How do you find parts for a model this old?
We read the full model and serial from the plate, then confirm what can be sourced before any work starts. If a part is gone, we tell you right away.
