The Haier HLC1700AXW is a knob-and-button combination washer and ventless dryer: Haier's manual describes a power button, a cycle knob, an LED screen, Wash Temp, Spin Speed, Soil Level and Dry Level buttons, options for Presoak, Prewash, Ex Rinse, Water + and Delay, and a Start/Pause button, with nothing to pair to a network. Haier's Wi-Fi troubleshooting article is written for Haier smart washers and dryers, which connect through the SmartHQ app and its Connected Appliance Information label; the HLC1700AXW is not among them. Use the LED screen and the end-of-cycle state instead.
Differential
Likely causes of “Haier HLC1700 washer/dryer combo will not connect to Wi-Fi or the manufacturer's app”, and how to tell them apart
- 1
Expecting smart features from a non-connected combo
What separates it No app lists the HLC1700AXW and no pairing label is on the unit
How to confirm Compare the model label with the manual's control list; it has none of the connected-appliance features
- 2
Following Haier's SmartHQ setup for a different model
What separates it The steps mention a Connected Appliance Information label that this unit does not have
How to confirm Use those steps only for Haier smart washers and dryers
- 3
A smart plug on the outlet
What separates it The plug reports offline but the unit runs because a smart plug is on the outlet
How to confirm Plug the unit directly into a grounded outlet and run a cycle from the panel
- 4
Delay start selected
What separates it The unit looks idle after Start because Delay start was selected
How to confirm Check the Delay option on the LED screen; the manual lists Delay as an option before Start/Pause
Before you touch a setting
Record this first — changing settings destroys the evidence
- What the app or device says and what it is meant for
- What the LED screen shows on the unit
- Whether the unit runs a cycle from its own Start/Pause button

0 of 5 completedConfirm the model
ReversibleRead the label and compare it with the manual's controls: cycle knob, LED screen, buttons, no network setup. HLC1700AXW is a 2.0 cu ft combination unit.
Run a cycle at the panel
ReversiblePress the Power button, turn the knob to a cycle, adjust temperature, spin, soil and dry level with the buttons and press Start/Pause.
Check for Delay
ReversibleIf nothing starts, look for Delay on the LED screen; cancel it and start again.
Read the screen
ReversibleThe selected cycle blinks on the LED screen and the preset settings blink with it until you start.
Set a phone timer
ReversibleThe manual's Cycle Guide lists estimated times, for example 0:58 for Auto Dry, so a phone reminder replaces app notifications.
