Washer-dryer shows E16 and may stop during spin; often linked to excessive vibration or imbalance detection.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before tipping or removing panels. The drum and weights are heavy.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Check installation: Ensure the washer-dryer is level on a solid floor. Adjust the feet so the cabinet does not rock. Remove any transit bolts if the machine is newly installed.
• 2. Check load distribution: Avoid washing a single heavy item. Redistribute laundry and run a spin-only cycle to see if E16 reoccurs.
• 3. Inspect dampers: Remove the rear or front lower panel to access the suspension dampers. Check for oil leakage, broken mounts, or excessive free play. Replace dampers in pairs if worn.
• 4. Check counterweights: Inspect the concrete or cast-iron weights at the front and/or top of the tub. Ensure all bolts are tight and that the weights are not cracked.
• 5. Motor feedback: If mechanical components are sound but E16 persists, the control may be misinterpreting motor speed fluctuations. Inspect the motor and tachometer as per E08.
