Ladies and Gentlemen; Does anyone know if there's a safe way to jumper/ jump-start the compressor from the Control Board? I'm pretty sure mine is bad - have a new one on the way. Trying to keep the fridge cool until the new part arrives. . .

Asko W6461 Washing Machine - Bypass detergent drawer
David Beasley posted a topic in DIY Appliance Repair Help
Wondering if anyone has successfully bypassed the detergent drawer in this washing machine? Am I crazy to consider such a thing? BACKGROUND: I am replacing the inlet valve today and had an idea to hack the system and bypass the detergent drawer by connecting hoses from the inlet valve directly to the hose that fills the washer tub. There are two reasons that let me to consider this: (1) The drawer has been stuck and unable to be opened for at least 6 months so I have not been using it. I simply add the detergent directly to the tub before loading laundry. (2) The drawer "leaks". I put leaks in quotation marks because I don't really think it is leaking, but that a very small amount of water splashes out as it fills. I can see quite a bit of rust and corrosion from years of this leaking which is probably what caused it to finally stick closed in the first place. My idea to bypass the drawer would be to connect the three hoses to some kind of fixture which would then connect directly to the hose that fills the tub. Bad idea? TIA, Dave-
