Washer dryer · Combined programme planning

What if one item requires line drying in an otherwise suitable load?

Remove that item from the continuous drying plan. The rest of the load cannot make its drying restriction disappear, even if the shared wash temperature is suitable.

Understanding this situation

A combined cycle is convenient precisely because it proceeds automatically, which also means unsuitable garments can reach heat before anyone notices. Sorting only for washing is insufficient when both stages are selected.

A useful next step

Either choose a wash-only programme and remove the restricted item afterwards, or create a separate compatible combined load. Follow normal unlocking instructions before unloading. Do not rely on remembering to force an interruption at the moment drying begins.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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