Washer dryer · Combined programme planning

Why do wash-and-dry programmes have their own load limits?

A continuous programme must accommodate the drying stage as well as washing. Clothes need space to separate and exchange moisture, so the wash-only headline capacity may not apply.

Understanding this situation

Check the exact programme table, because limits can differ between cotton, synthetics and other treatments. A kilogram figure for one mode is not a universal allowance for every combined setting.

A useful next step

Plan the load before it becomes wet rather than filling to the wash limit and expecting automatic drying to cope. If you need a larger wash, use the documented separate-stage approach and remove items safely after the wash finishes.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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