Possible Causes
Using cycles with a slower spin speed.
Washer dryer not loaded as recom-
mended.
The load may be out of balance.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Small items may have been caught in
the pump or stuck between the washer
dryer drum and the outer tub.
On some models: Drain pump filter is
dirty.
Wash cycle has been canceled and
door opened before water has drained.
The washer dryer is measuring the
mass of the dry load.
Water remaining in washer dryer after
cycle.
Door locks when cycle has started.
Check for proper water supply.
Washing many loads.
For best performance, not all settings
are available with each cycle and some
options cannot be used together.
Check for proper water supply.
Not using HE detergent or using too
much HE detergent.
Solution
Cycles with slower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with fast spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed
spin for your garment.
A tightly packed or unbalanced load may not allow the
washer dryer to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than
normal. See "Cycle Guide" for load size recommendation
for each cycle.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item, such as
a rug or jeans jacket, with a few extra items.
Use only HE detergent. Suds from regular detergent or using
too much detergent can slow or stop draining or spinning.
Always measure and follow manufacturer's directions for your
load. To remove extra suds, select DRAIN & SPIN with EXTRA
RINSE. Do not add detergent.
Check the drum for any items sticking through the drum
holes. Empty pockets and use garment bags when washing
small items.
On some models: Clean drain pump filter. See "Cleaning the
Drain Pump Filter/Draining Residual Water."
Run Drain & Spin to remove any excess water.
This measurement is normal and ensures the best cycle time
for your load.
Select DRAIN & SPIN to remove any water remaining in the
washer dryer. The washer dryer door will unlock at the end of
the drain.
If the "Add Garment" light is lit, touch START/PAUSE once.
The door will unlock.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached to both washer dryer and
faucet, and have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet
valve.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
Your hot water tank may not have enough hot water to keep
up with the number of hot or warm washes. This is normal.
See the "Cycle Guide" for the available settings and options
for each cycle.
Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed.
Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the
inlet valve.
Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
The suds from non-HE detergent can cause the washer dryer
to operate incorrectly.
Use only HE detergent. Always measure detergent and follow
manufacturer's directions based on load size and soil level.
