Is using a Eurotech combination washer/

dryer different than a traditional “stand-

alone” washer and dryer?

Yes.

 In a Eurotech combination laundry product, you wash / dry in the 

same tub. Cycle times will be longer and overall load sizes will be smaller. 

Wash cycle times are similar, but because combination washer / dryer 

products operate using a standard household electrical supply (120V vs. 

230V), dry times are longer and capacity is reduced by 50% when using the 

dry program. The overall convenience of this laundry solution far outweighs 

the need to manage your laundry requirements with smaller, more frequent 

laundry loads. 

Most issues with your washer/dryer can be 

solved without a technician. Before calling 

for service, check the following.
Machine Runs Too Long

Your machine is a combination washer/dryer and depending on load 

size, fabric, and programs selected, could take as long as 4 1/2 hours to 

complete the program.

Washer does not work/light is not on.

Press On/Off button 
Make sure power supply is securely in electrical outlet
Make sure door is closed securely (press inward on door handle)
Check main power supply and/or house breaker/fuse

Indicator light is on but unit does not work

Make sure door is closed securely (press inward on door handle)
Press On/Off button firmly
Check Program Knob to be sure it is on a program
Press start button
Make sure power supply securely in electrical outlet

Washer does not fill with water

Make sure door is closed securely (press inward on door handle)
Check home water supply and pressure
Make sure water faucet to machine is open
Check for obstructions in water hoses
Clean inlet filters between valves and water hoses

Washer fills and drains continuously

Make sure drain hose is at correct height

 

(pages 4-5)

If draining into sink, make sure drain hose outlet is not under water

Washer does not drain and spin

Make sure drain hose is in correct position (pages 4-5)
Check for kinks and/or obstructions in drain hose

Clean detergent dispenser, if encrusted with residue or clogged
Check Coin Trap for obstructions, clean and reinstall. (page 5)
Load should be properly balanced for maximum water extraction
Use less detergent or low-suds detergent for front-loading washers

Washer/dryer vibrates and is noisy

Ensure that shipping bolts, spacers and grommets have been removed (page 4)
Check that fabrics in tub are not tangled
Make sure machine is level and installed on a secure floor / platform (page 5)

Door will not open

For your safety, door remains locked for approx. two minutes after 

completion of a wash/dry program.

How can I improve drying performance?

Never overload the tub!

 The rule of thumb for efficient drying is a 

laundry load that represents a half load (7.5 lbs) of the tub capacity (15 lbs). 
Important note: The dry capacity is one-half (50%) of the wash capacity.
Use 1-2 tablespoons of a liquid fabric softener with each load - softer clothes 

separate more effectively to allow faster drying with less wrinkles.
Drying times vary based on the type of fabric (heavier fabrics retain more 

moisture), the amount of moisture retained in the fabric after the wash cycle 

(1200 RPM spin for regular fabrics vs. 800 for synthetic press fabrics - 550 

RPM spin for delicate fabrics) and the size of the laundry load. DO NOT 

OVERLOAD THE TUB!
When you remove items after the dry cycle is complete, they may feel 

slightly damp to the touch even though they are actually dry. This is a 

normal performance characteristic of a condensing dryer product. Remove 

items from tub, fluff clothing by shaking gently to allow any humidity to 

dissipate before folding or hanging.
Make sure the cold water supply is turned on during the entire laundry 

(wash / dry) program. This product requires cold water to operate the dry 

program. 

Dryer does not dry properly

Reduce load size (page 11)
Check Coin Trap for obstructions, clean and reinstall (page 15)
Be sure you use a HE low suds detergent and the proper amount of fabric 

softener.
Make sure cold water is supplied throughout dry cycle
If the problem persists, call our Customer Care Center at 800.898.1879 for 

further assistance. When you call, have the following information:
1) Appliance model number 
2) Serial number of the machine (located on the inner door facing)
3) Purchase date

Why are soap suds seeping from the outside 

door seal or detergent dispenser?

This is referred to as “over-sudsing”. Using proper amounts (1-2
