Splendide wd802m

Never had this happen before. While filling the fresh water tank and pressurizing the entire system, I found that the Washer/Dryer was filling with water.

We have NEVER used the W/D unit. It won't turn on to drain.

Can't open the door because the tub/drum is 1/2 full!

Any ideas?

Thanks.

    If you take a shop vac and open the filter drain and suck the water up u can save a mess.once water is out and power off the door will open


    Don't have 110 to it. Thinking I didn't properly Winterize the W/D and the inlet valve/valves froze. :M :o

    On Winterizing the unit it says to open the drain screen on the bottom right to drain what water remains in the tub.
    Not sure that this is a good idea with a half full drum but perhaps there is some way to get a hose in there and siphon or pump the water out.
    Perhaps if you lower the drain hose, water may run out.


    Thanks, rgatijnet1.

    Yes I have the manual. What I don't have is 110V to the plug for the W/D, either on Gen or Shore.

    I did, however, find two water valves behind the unit. I used my Fiber Optic camera. I've turned those off. Will now run an extension cord to the unit to see If I can get it to spin and drain.

    Later, I will trouble shoot the 110 issue.

    Thanks, again.
