NW Ohio,near Findlay | We had one that was sold by Sears a very long time ago. It was a 220 volt system, with a vent. I know this unit is totally different with the no vent, but washing and drying in the same unit has a problem, that I can't see how they overcome.
Once this unit stops the wash, spin, cycle, at some point the dry cycle will start. The outside drum, whatever you want to call it, that contains the water is still wet. Once the drying starts, all that lint without a vent has to go somewhere, it will stick to the outside drum and build up and you don't know it. We used it for years, seemed to work OK, but something happened, discharge pump I believe failed. Was slow washing system compared to a washer and dryer, had to wait until it was done drying. We also noted the drying was really taking a long time, suspected heating unit was going bad.
Finally pulled it out and got a washer, dryer set, two machines. I pulled the front off the old washer, dryer unit off and wanted to see if the pump was bad. It was plugged with the most awful looking stuff. Pulled inside drum out, the unit was filled solid with junk stuff to the outside shell. Wife had a fit, we were washing clothes in that filth, then drying all the junk again, reason it was taking so long to dry.
On this new type of washer, dryer they are selling, it still would be the same problem, wet drum, now the heat is trying to dry without a vent, where is the lint going to go. Has to be a lint filter somewhere and how do that filter wet lint.
That my thoughts. | |
