Washer-dryer combo displays E18 and stops; this is often associated with an unbalanced load or spin safety.

Safety first: Wait for the drum to stop completely before opening the door.

Step-by-step checks:

• Redistribute load: Open the door and rearrange the laundry evenly around the drum. Avoid washing a single heavy item alone.
• Reduce load size: If the drum is very full, remove some items and try a spin-only cycle.
• Check machine leveling: Ensure the washer-dryer is level from front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust the feet as needed.

If E18 recurs frequently even with balanced loads, inspect suspension dampers and bearings for wear and replace them as necessary.
