Possible Causes Solution
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/spin
speed 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 Guides" for load size recommendation.
To spin wet laundry, add more laundry items of different sizes
and start the Rinse & Spin program. Avoid small laundry
loads consisting of a few large, absorbent items and wash
different-sized items in one load. Avoid washing single 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 Rinse & Spin. 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.
Clean drain pump filter. See "Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter/
Draining Residual Water."
Run Drain & Spin to remove any excess water.
Select Drain to remove any water remaining in the washer/
dryer. The door will unlock at the end of the drain.
While this option is on, the load is tumbled periodically
for up to 12 hours. The door remains locked during this
time. To unlock the door, cancel the Tumble Fresh option
by touching the "X" on the touch screen to the right of
the estimated time remaining.
Failure mode will lock the door. Touch the START/PAUSE
button to exit, then wait for the door to unlock.
Wait for the water temperature to drop.
Perform procedure in "How to Manually Open Door."
Inlet hose must be attached to both washer/dryer and cold
water supply faucet, and have water flowing to inlet valve.
Both inlet hoses must be attached to both washer/dryer and
faucet, and have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet
valves.
Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.
Remove any kinks in hoses.
