If a Haier HLC1700AXW stops partway, the manual's error table sorts the reasons: E1 (cannot drain within 4 minutes), E2 (cannot lock the door after 20 seconds), E4 (water level not reached after 8 minutes), E8 (water above the warning level), and Unb for an unbalanced load, with F-codes for motor, sensor and dryer circuit faults that all mean stop running and call service. A dry cycle also stops or pauses if the load is too big or if clothes are unevenly distributed. Note the code, spin at low speed and cancel drying for Unb, and follow the action the manual gives.
Differential
Likely causes of “Haier HLC1700 washer/dryer combo stops, pauses or powers off mid-cycle”, and how to tell them apart
- 1
An unbalanced load
What separates it Unb shows on the screen and the cycle pauses because the load is unbalanced
How to confirm Spin at low speed and cancel drying; distribute clothing evenly
- 2
A drain or fill timeout
What separates it E1 or E4 shows and the cycle stops because of a drain or fill timeout
How to confirm Clear the pump or check plumbing and hose connections
- 3
A door lock failure
What separates it E2 shows and the cycle stops because the door lock has failed
How to confirm Stop running the unit, since service is needed for a door lock failure
- 4
A circuit or sensor fault
What separates it F7, F9, FA, FC, Fd or FE shows because of a circuit or sensor fault
How to confirm Stop running the unit, since service is needed for a circuit or sensor fault
Before you touch a setting
Record this first — changing settings destroys the evidence
- The exact code that is shown on the screen
- Which stage the cycle was in when it stopped
- Whether a dry cycle was running

ReversibleMatch it to the manual's error table: E1, E2, E4, E8, F7, F9, FA, FC, Fd, FE, Unb.
Act on the action column
ReversibleClear the pump for E1; check plumbing for E4; stop running for the service-needed codes.
Fix Unb
ReversibleFix Unb, by spinning at low speed, cancelling drying and distributing the clothing evenly, and then test again to see whether it helped.
Restart
ReversibleRestart the cycle, once the cause of the stop has been cleared, and then test again to see whether it helped.
Call service
ReversibleCall service for any code that the manual marks as Service Needed, and then test again to see whether it helped.
Model-specific
What is true of this model and not of its siblings
- Codes that mean service
- Haier's manual marks E2, E8, F7, F9, FA, FC, Fd and FE as Stop running, service needed. E1 asks you to clear the pump, E4 asks you to check plumbing and hose connections, and Unb asks you to spin at low speed, cancel drying and redistribute clothing. It also says do not try to adjust or repair the unit yourself.
- Dry cycle limits
- On a drying cycle the unit needs a half load and tumbling space, and Haier asks you to separate heavy clothes from regular clothes and to re-sort a load that dries unevenly. If the dryer load is too large the cycle can run long or stop with a dryer fault code, so a half-full drum at the start avoids many mid-cycle stops on this combination unit.

Exact questions
Common questions
Why did my HLC1700AXW stop?+
A code such as E1, E2, E4, E8, Unb or an F-code explains it.
What does an F-code mean?+
F7 motor circuit, F9 dryer sensor circuit, FA water level sensor circuit, FC no feedback from the driver, Fd dryer heating abnormal, FE dryer motor abnormal; all need service.
What if it says Unb?+
Spin low speed and cancel drying, then evenly distribute clothing.
