Electrolux Washer & Dryer: Load Weight issue?
Comments (25)Thanks for the useful, thoughtful points, ladies and gentlemen. Upon further thinking, i think this might be the best solution: - Warm/Warm and press the Eco Friendly button. Reason: this reduces the normal "Warm" temperature, and will be, between cold and warm. this, in theory, in this frigid winter weather with freezing cold "cold water from the tap/outside", should result in a barely warm water, right? This would ensure both a "Barely warm wash cycle, and then a Barely Warm rinse cycle", ensuring a thorough rinsing of detergent. Furthermore, when Warm/Warm (with Eco Friendly selected) is done, I think I ought to do one more Rinse Only cycle, with extra spin, at "High" speed spin. This would ensure that detergent would be thoroughly out, and that water would be centrifuged out. Any comments please? Advice? How should I fold my natural wool fleece mattress pad when putting it inside? Only one person has made a suggest thus far, and he suggests that i fold all the wool fleece INWARDS. My fear is that detergent might get in and not get out! Thx in advance....See MoreNew Miele Condenser Dryers
Comments (12)Miele, just like Bosch, has moved away for vented or air-condensing dryers in favor of heat pump units. There are only very few models left - even here. With that said... Do condenser dryers work? Most of Germany uses them, so: yes. Do they heat up the room? Depends on the room size etc. A condenser can blown out air of 120F or more for over an hour. Whether this is an advantage or disadvantages depends on the individual situation. Usually, any extra heat is welcome over here... but probably not in Florida, Texas, California etc. How long does a cycle take? Look at non-US manual to find cycle durations. Do they run hot? Between 120 and 170F - depends on the heat setting. I've also had American vented (properly vented) dryers nearly scorch my clothes, though. Do they work for a family? If they do any sort of rudimentary sorting and don't insist on washing all the clothes in one gigantic, rainbow-colored load: yes. Alex...See MorePlease help with new electric dryer choice
Comments (16)Mareh82, Also, a machine with a mechanical timer there shouldn't be a need to engage the extra rinse switch before starting a load. It can be set any time during course of the cycle. Setting the extra rinse switch to On hours after the machine has turned off, after unloading, should trigger the timer to advance into the extra rinse function. The only obstacle would be (assuming the timer is pull-to-start) if opening the lid bumps against the timer and depresses it to Off ... in which case it would need to be pulled to turn back on for the rinse along with flipping the switch....See MoreNew Front Load Washer & Dryer...need this groups thoughts
Comments (41)I have 15-year-old front loader washer and dryer. We got the pedestals, and I have to say they are nice--I like the drawers underneath where my kids put their dirty socks and other unmentionables after sports practice. I also appreciate not bending over so far to get inside. Mine are one of the original frontloaders and I've had 2 repairs on them that I can remember. They perform very well but I'm careful to use HE laundry detergent and only half the amount, at most. I also don't vary the cycles much so I'm not challenging the electrical components (or so that's my theory). Because of their age, I know we're nearing the end of their lives but I'm willing to do a few more repairs unless they completely break down. I also blow them a kiss and thank them each time they complete a cycle. I swear this is the key. I keep my washer door cracked open a bit when not in use to avoid the smell. It makes sense if you think about it--to keep a FL leak-free during a cycle vs. a TL, the seal must be more tight when closed. A TL still has some air circulation when the lid is down....See Morecj47
