Washer-dryer combo displays E1; often associated with water leakage into base or overflow sensor activation.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off water supply. Water in the base can contact live components.

• 1. Inspect for leaks:
  • Carefully pull the unit forward.
  • Check underneath for water in the base pan.
• 2. Drain and dry base:
  • If water is present, tilt the unit slightly (with help) to drain, then dry with towels.
• 3. Find leak source:
  • Remove the rear or side panels.
  • Run a short fill cycle while observing hoses, pump, and tub for drips.
  • Tighten hose clamps or replace cracked hoses as needed.
• 4. Float switch:
  • Ensure the base float switch moves freely and is not stuck in the up position.
• 5. Technician recommended if the outer tub is cracked or if leaks are difficult to locate.
