Switch the washer off, wait a moment, then switch it on again. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What are the UI and PMCU in an Asko E36 message? The UI is the control panel you use; the PMCU is the power control unit that runs the washer. E36 says they are not talking to each other. ### Is E37 on an Asko related to E36? It involves the same two units: E37 reports software versions that do not match, and the manual sends it straight to a technician. --- **[Read on the site: Asko washer showing E36 | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/asko-e36/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
