      If your Porter & Charles Dryer is vibrating, first, adjust the feet of the machine. Second, remove the transportation safety screws. Note that a small amount of laundry won't cause vibration issues. Avoid overloading the machine and ensure the laundry is distributed evenly. Also, avoid placing the machine on hard surfaces, and leave a 2 cm space between it and walls.

    Why is there excessive foam in the detergent drawer of my Porter & Charles COMBI 9-6 Dryer?
    • B
      Brenda HernandezAug 26, 2025
      Excessive foam in the detergent drawer of your Porter & Charles Dryer is usually due to using too much or the wrong detergent. To eliminate foam, press the Start/Pause button, then mix a spoon of softener with half a liter of water and pour it into the detergent drawer. After 5-10 minutes, press the Start/Pause button again. When you next wash, adjust the detergent dose accordingly and use detergents specifically for automatic washing machines.

    Why is the washing result unsatisfactory with my Porter & Charles Dryer?
    • N
      Nathan WilliamsSep 2, 2025
      An unsatisfactory washing result with your Porter & Charles Dryer may occur if the program you've chosen doesn't match the contamination level of your laundry, or if you haven't used enough detergent. Also, check that you have not loaded more than the maximum capacity of laundry inside the machine. Select programs appropriate for the level of dirt in your laundry and adjust the detergent level accordingly.

    What to do if laundry has detergent residues on them after washing with my Porter & Charles COMBI 9-6 Dryer?
    • S
      Stephanie WillisSep 4, 2025
      If your laundry has detergent residues after washing with your Porter & Charles Dryer, it might be due to non-dissolving particles of some detergents adhering to your laundries as white spots, or the spots may be caused by oil, cream, or ointment. Try performing an extra rinsing cycle or clean the spots with a brush after drying. In the next wash, apply the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer.

    Why does my Porter & Charles Dryer discharge water as soon as it is loaded?
    • B
      Brandon FrankSep 7, 2025
      If your Porter & Charles Dryer discharges water as soon as it is loaded, it is because the end of the water drain hose is too low. Set the water drain hose to an appropriate height.

    Why is spinning operation not performed or runs late in my Porter & Charles COMBI 9-6?
    • A
      Andrew HamptonSep 9, 2025
      If the spinning operation is not performed or runs late in your Porter & Charles Dryer, it's likely due to the unbalanced load control system being activated. This system tries to spread your laundry evenly. The spinning will begin after your laundry is spread. Next time, place the laundry in the machine in a balanced fashion.
