I saw a dryer in france that didn't vent the air. It somehow collected the water from the clothes and you had to empty it after each drying cycle. ----- Original Message ----- From: Max Robinson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2007 12:20 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
Washer dryer combinations had reliability problems. The air ducts have to close off really tight for the wash cycle. The closing flaps or the actuators were always going bad and the result was a flood. Many people who bought them lived to regret it and got rid of them pretty fast. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
