I earlier placed this same e-mail for a different model. I placed clothes in my HE3t on normal cycle.Several minutes thereafter,I paused it when I added extra clothes and closed the door (the washer had no water in it at the time;but instead of starting the same cycle, I accidently cancelled the cycle.I then tried to restart the machine in the same cycle.It did not work and the door was locked.I tried rinse/drain and then just drain, but no luck and the door does not open.The indicated problem is an F and a DL.Help?

It is sensing, and that you have something that needs a 'Delicate' setting, or a 'Woollens' setting. It provides water and very little agitation that might damage or stretch the clothes. Read the manual.

There are several reasons why a washing machine may pause during a wash cycle. One possible reason is an unbalanced load. If the load is not distributed evenly in the drum, the machine may pause to redistribute the load and prevent damage to the drum or other components. Another possible reason is a clogged filter or drain hose, which can cause the machine to pause as it tries to drain water from the drum.

In the case of the SMEG model WMI-12C7, repeat pausing during wash cycles could be caused by a malfunctioning sensor or control board. These components are responsible for monitoring and regulating various aspects of the wash cycle, such as water level, temperature, and spin speed. If one of these components is faulty, it may cause the machine to pause or stop unexpectedly.

To resolve this problem, it is recommended to first check for any obvious issues such as an unbalanced load or clogged filter. If these do not appear to be the problem, it may be necessary to call a professional repair service to diagnose and fix any issues with the sensor or control board.

In addition, it is important to properly maintain and care for your washing machine to prevent future issues. This includes regularly cleaning the filter and drain hose, avoiding overloading the machine, and using only recommended detergents and settings.

It's time to unplug the power and let the electronic panel reset.

Hello.
Noises are common when using a two-in-one washer and dryer, as clicking or whirring is part of the cleaning process during the transition to the next cleaning process. The GE Spacesaver washer and dryer combo uses a top-loading washer stacked beneath the front-loading dryer, and uses an agitator that makes noises throughout the spin cycle. Although whirring or clicking is normal, other noises or malfunction indicates a problem with the washer that requires minor troubleshooting. Professional repair is necessary if the washer continues to experience problems during the spin cycle, as there may be a problem with the washer's agitator.
1 Open the washer's door and check the balance of the load's clothes. Clothes that are unevenly distributed around the agitator cause excessive shaking and result in an imbalance during the spin cycle. Reduce the load's size by removing clothing if the washer's drum is overloaded.
2 Push "Start/Pause" to pause the spin cycle and turn the washer's cycle knob to the "Off" position. Turn the knob to "Spin Only" and press "Start/Pause" to reset the cycle.
3 Turn the wrench counterclockwise or clockwise around the unit's legs to adjust the appliance's balance. The legs are adjustable with the help of a wrench to ensure the unit does not shake while in use. An unleveled unit shakes as it spins, and causes excessive squealing or rattling as it attempts to dry the clothes.
4 Touch "Start/Pause" on the front of the washer's control panel and unplug the washer/dryer unit's power cord from the electric oultlet. Wait two minutes and plug the power cord back into the electric outlet. Push "Start/Pause" to resume the spin cycle.
Thanks.

Don't pause the cycle mid cycle. The machine uses the amount of water it needs to clean the amount of clothes that are in the tub. If you pause it after the first 7 or 8 minutes, you're already past the sensing part of the cycle and likely you won't get more water for the additional clothes.

Also, the clothes don't need to be soaking wet or wet enough to wring out. These new HE machines mix the detergent with water and then spray that detergent solution onto your clothes. Then the clothes against clothes rubbing with that solution already coating the clothes is how the machines clean better! It is a very similar process to when you pretreat your clothes with Shout of Spray and Wash. You spray the clothes and then rub the short against itself. Now the Whirlpool machines are doing this for you!

you can try to unplug it for about 15-20 mins to let it reset itself. hope that works.

Hello and welcome to Fixya.

Starting it again from a "paused" status should just be a matter of pushing and holding for a couple of seconds the start button, provided the door is closed properly.

Hope that answer`s your question. Good luck.

unplug it from the wall let is reset the plug back in and it should work

If the drain time exceeds 8 minutes, the water valves are turned off and F02 is flashed.

Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.

NOTE: After 4 minutes the “Sud” error will be displayed, then 4 minutes later the F02 error code will be displayed.

Potential Causes

• Check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked
• Check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is running.
• Check the drain pump filter for foreign objects
• If the above does not correct the problem replace the pump

Often people think machine not performing "last spin cycle" when machine "pausing" allowing gravity to drain wet clothes then turn clothes again then pausing again allowing gravity to drain wet clothes. Wait for a minute or two verifying machine in normal "pause" status.
