Washer-dryer combo shows LE or LE1 and may stop mid-cycle with water still in the drum.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water supply. Be prepared for water on the floor; avoid slipping.

Steps to investigate:

• Check for visible leaks: Look around and under the unit for water. If possible, tilt the machine slightly (with help) to inspect the base tray for standing water.
• Dry the base: If water is present in the base tray, carefully soak it up with towels. Some models have a float switch that must be reset by drying the tray.
• Inspect hoses and clamps: Remove the rear or front panel to inspect the tub-to-pump hose, pump-to-drain hose, and inlet hoses for drips or loose clamps. Tighten or replace as needed.
• Reduce detergent: If you see excessive suds, run a rinse and spin cycle without detergent to clear foam and switch to HE detergent in smaller amounts.

When to stop: If you cannot locate the leak source or LE/LE1 returns, a technician should perform a pressure test and inspect internal seals.
