When the washer/dryer gets near the end of the drying cycle, a lot of water is added resulting in sodden clothes lying in a puddle. How can I fix this?

Drain pump: rinse+spin drains the tub, ~14ohms on the coil. No lint build up on the stator. Circulation pump: appears to pump water up to the top, ~27ohms on the coil. I did clear the circulation hose of obstructions but this did not resolve the issue. Is there anyway to test/reset the main PCB?

It's probably your cold water input solenoid assembly.
even if the solenoids are working fine, there is probably physical damage inside the flow restrictors allowing too much water into your unit during drying.
try turning your cold water valve almost complete off, down to just a trickle.
if your wash completes without errors then the input solenoid assy is definitely at fault.

The drain pump and circulating pump coil resistance readings are within the acceptable ranges.
Run the machine on the QC Test Mode according to your user manual, also check the Water Level Frequency reading during this test to see whether it falls within the normal range according to the manual.

Look inside unit for tech sheet, technician manual to run diagnostics mode. See if you can find stored codes and it should also tell you how to erase stored error codes.

Why is my hotpoint tcm570 tumble dryer leaving a puddle on the floor

Since no dryer I am aware of uses any liquid, I suggest you may be putting wet clothes into the dryer.
This can happen if the washer does not spin the clothes nearly dry. Many dryers have small holes in the dryer drum to let excess water flow out, I would guess that may be the case with yours.
Are your clothes nearly dry when they come out of the washer?
If not, perhaps the washer has a loose belt or has a problem with the "dry" cycle.
God bless your efforts.

Hi We have a miele condensor dryer. It is working fine except that you have to put clothes through twice to dry. It seems to cut short the drying process and then you need to put the machine back on...

The first thing you need to check is your vent system. If your dryer vent is clogged with lint, the dryer has a hard time expelling the moisture.
Then, if the vent is clean, try using a timed drying cycle instead of a sensor cycle. If your clothes get dry using the timed cycle, then you might have a sensor problem.
Also, make sure your wash machine is properly spinning out the clothes. I saw that once before where the customer thought the problem was with the dryer, but it ended up being their wash machine's ATC switch adding water at the end of the spin cycle.

Good luck!

Thor laundry system won't dry clothes I have a thor no venting washer/dryer combo machine, that has been working fine for years. Suddenly it is not drying clothes and instead, clothes are soaking wet...

I am having the same problem on a WD9900A. The wash cycle works great. Spins fast and clothes are completely rung out. Dryer cycle heats up well. Fluffs and heats cloths. At some point during dry cycle water is injected on clothes and they end up sopping wet; much wetter than after wash. Filter is clear. Outlet pipe clear and functions well. Possible problem with dryer timer? Or washer timing kicking back on?

Washer-dryer # wm3677HW will not dry,heats up, run, on and on

You're a moron. This unit washes and dries. That's the whole point of it. Perhaps you should do some research before answering the question. the most likely cause is the water lever sensor.

Drying cycle ma;function

The problem lies with the water valve at the water entrance area; trace the pipe from where the water comes to dispenser. This should be done after opening up the top ( careful not to touch any part which could give you electric shock or anything) The pipe where the water gushes should be traced back to the inlet area, you will have to change this valve. To see the gush gently open the dispenser drawer.
