The load is too large and heavy
to dry quickly.
The washer/dryer is located
in a closet.
Drain pump filter is clogged with lint.
The load was not removed from
washer/dryer at the end of the drying
cycle.
The washer/dryer was tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Loading drum half full
Load removed before cool-down
portion of cycle is complete.
Make sure the washer/dryer door is closed completely.
Touch the START/PAUSE button firmly.
Clean the drain pump filter. See "Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter/
Draining Residual Water." Place drain pump filter back in washer/
dryer and make sure it is properly seated.
There may be two household fuses or circuit breakers for the
washer/dryer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that
both circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuses or reset
the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Electric dryers require 240 V power supply. Check with
a qualified electrician.
Use a time-delay fuse.
Connect the water supply to the washer/dryer and turn it on.
The drying cycle will not run unless the water supply is
connected and turned on.
Select drying function (see Step 10 in "Using the All-In-One
Washer/Dryer").
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.
Clean out pockets before laundering.
The washer/dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See
Installation Instructions. All four washer/dryer feet should be
in firm contact with the floor.
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the washer/dryer
to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the washer/dryer.
Loading drum half full or less will improve drying performance.
Separate the load to tumble freely. Loading drum half full or
less will improve drying performance and cycle time. Run a high
speed spin cycle.
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the door. The front of the washer/dryer requires a
minimum of 3" (76 mm) of airspace, 1" (25 mm) on the sides,
and, for most installations, the rear of the washer/dryer requires
4" (102 mm). See "Installation Instructions."
Clean the drain pump filter. See "Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter/
Draining Residual Water." This procedure should be performed
occasionally.
Remove garments promptly at the end of the drying cycle,
or use the Wrinkle Shield option (see "Using the All-In-One
Washer/Dryer").
or less will improve drying performance and cycle time. Results
may also vary depending on fabric type.
Allow the drying cycle to complete the cool-down portion of the
cycle before removing the load. If you cancel the cycle before
the cool-down portion of the cycle and immediately remove the
load, it will be very hot.
