SW Iowa | When I was appliance shopping after buying my first house just out of college, the salesman told me the style with the lint trap at front work much better when drying by moisture sensor because the airflow is back-to-front through the whole drum. The type with the rear lint trap, you basically have a path from the hot air intake on one side of the back panel straight back out through the exhaust on the other side. I ended up buying a new dryer with the front lint trap which worked great as long as I owned that house but when I sold it buyers wanted it included. In hindsight I should have told them no and moved it. I'm currently back to an old Kenmore (Whirlpool) with the rear lint trap... it more or less works and that style are fairly simple/bulletproof (pretty sure all use about the same parts across multiple decades), but at least with ours you have to dry by time and it's sometimes a crapshoot if it gets things dry or not. Personally, I'd pay a bit more for the front lint trap style. | |
