To clean the filter, locate it at the bottom right of the washer dryer. Open the access panel, unscrew the filter cap, and remove any debris. Rinse the filter under running water before reinstalling it.
Ensure the machine is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Check the door is fully closed and the water supply is turned on. If the problem persists, try resetting the machine by unplugging it for a few minutes.
To minimize tangling, do not overload the drum and wash similar fabric types together. Use a gentle cycle for delicate items and consider using a mesh laundry bag for small or delicate items.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the filter, checking and cleaning the detergent drawer, wiping the drum and door seal, and running a monthly cleaning cycle with a washing machine cleaner or vinegar.
Excessive noise can be due to an unbalanced load. Ensure the machine is level on the ground and try redistributing the clothes evenly in the drum. Also, check for any loose objects in the drum or filter.
To use the delay start function, select your desired wash program, then press the delay button to set the desired start time. Confirm your selection and press the start button to activate the delay feature.
Check the hoses for any damage or loose connections. Ensure the door seal is clean and intact. If the issue persists, it may require professional inspection to check for internal leaks.
To improve drying efficiency, avoid overloading the machine and ensure the lint filter is clean. Use the appropriate drying cycle for the fabric type and consider using a higher spin speed during the wash cycle to remove more water.
Ensure the detergent drawer is clean and free of blockages. Use the correct type of detergent and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for quantity. If the issue continues, check for any obstructions in the dispenser area.
To reset the washer dryer, unplug the machine from the power outlet, wait a few minutes, and then plug it back in. This can clear minor software glitches and reset the machine's settings.
