Why does my Electrolux EWW12842 Washer/Dryer fill with water and then empty immediately?

  If your Electrolux Washer/Dryer fills with water and then empties immediately, check the drain hose connection to ensure it is not squashed or kinked. Clean the drain filter in case the drain pump is clogged. Also, make sure that the ‘Rinse Hold’ or ‘No Spin’ option is disabled, or select a spin program. If the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum, pause the machine and redistribute it.

  Excessive vibration and noise in your Electrolux Washer/Dryer can be caused by a few things. Ensure the transit bolts and packing have been removed and that the support feet are properly adjusted to level the appliance. An uneven distribution of laundry in the drum can also cause this issue; pause the machine and redistribute the load manually. If there's very little laundry, adding more could help. Also, detergent overdose can cause noise and vibrations, so reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.

  This is a normal behavior of the Electrolux Washer/Dryer and not a cause for concern as it does not compromise its performance. The machine is optimizing the drying cycle according to the laundry type and load size. It will vary for each kind of fabric as the water absorption is different.
