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.

Check for kinks and/or obstructions in drain hose
Clean detergent dispenser, if encrusted with residue or clogged

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

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
