# Whirlpool all-in-one washer and dryer repair

### One drum, one drain, and expectations worth setting

The drying half of these machines condenses moisture using water rather than blowing it out of a duct, which means the drain is part of the drying system. A restriction that would only slow a wash on an ordinary machine stops an all-in-one drying altogether, and that catches owners out constantly. The other thing worth saying plainly is that a full cycle on one of these runs for hours by design, and a smaller load is not a compromise but the way the machine is meant to be used. Whirlpool publishes its own dedicated readings for these, separate from its other laundry.

What this involves

Washing and drying share one drum and one drain, so the diagnosis follows both

This make publishes a dedicated code set for the all-in-one

Long cycles are normal on these, and knowing that saves an unnecessary call

Read the machine's own code set

Whirlpool documents all-in-one codes separately. The characters overlap with the front-load washer list and the readings do not always.

Check the drain first on a drying complaint

Condensing dry needs to get rid of water. A partly blocked drain produces damp clothes and no obvious water symptom at all.

Clean the filter and the condenser path

There is no lint screen in the usual sense, so lint ends up in places a vented machine never sends it.

Test wash and dry separately

A machine that washes perfectly and dries badly is a different repair from one that fails the whole cycle.

Say what normal is on this machine

A full wash-and-dry on one of these takes a long time by design, and that is worth hearing before money is spent.

### It washes fine but the clothes come out damp.

Start with the drain and the filter rather than with the drying side. Because these dry by condensing, a slow drain and poor drying are the same problem far more often than they are two.

### Should I have bought a separate pair instead?

If there is a vent and the space, a pair is simpler and faster. In an apartment with one water connection and no duct there is no pair to buy, and these do the job — which is the situation most of the ones we see are in.
