If the drum is filled with water after spin-dry

  • Take laundry out from the washer immediately after spin-dry is complete.
    Moisture from the laundry can gather and pool if the laundry is left in the drum for a long time.
  • Near the end of spin-dry, a small amount of water may be supplied to help remove lint from the drum.
  • It is normal for some water too pool on the inner side of the drum, please rest assured.
  • All-in-one washer dryers use a small amount of water during drying to enhance drying performance.
    After drying is complete, some water vapor can remain and condense in the drum.

If the drum is filled with water before cycle-start

  • If you are using a TwinWash model, inspect the drain hose connected to your washer.
  • Water can flow back into the washer if the drain hose is too deeply inserted into the drain, or if the drain is blocked.
