Can water use during wash-and-dry be compared with washing alone?

Only if you recognise that the full sequence may include additional processes. Some combined designs use water during drying, so a wash-only figure may not describe total use.

Understanding this situation

The exact model and selected programme matter. A higher full-cycle figure is not automatically evidence of a leak, while visible external water or unexplained idle filling remains a separate concern.

A useful next step

Consult the manufacturer's programme information and record the complete selection when comparing ordinary use. Do not turn off a required supply midway through drying to reduce consumption. Report genuine changes with the model and observed conditions.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
