Are you thinking about getting that 2-in-1 washer and dryer that’s ventless? Does it sound like a great idea? Yes. Does everyone understand the long term effects? Most likely not. This is a yearly cleaning project done on a ventless dryer. Not even a 2-in-1 washer and dryer combo. The dryer still has the same technology though.
When you have a dryer that removes moisture from your clothes, the most practical way is to vent it outside. The problem that happens with most dryers by far is VENTING. If I show up to a home and the dryer heats but takes too long, 99.9% of the time, clog or pinch or full restriction in venting. Otherwise you might have a long complicated setup or may vent through your attic(headache).
When you have one of the above setups, it gets rid of the moisture problem for you, if it does its job. Now we have the issue of getting rid of lint. As I said before, it is a great IDEA, but it doesn’t fully keep working well this way. This dryer has to be fully broke down and cleaned since it overheats from lint buildup, even though they clean out the lint trap daily. But at least once a year it overheats and can’t breathe and that’s where we come in to break it down just to clean and rebuild. You might ask, isn’t there an easier way to clean it without a full tear down? We wish….we wish.
For any advice even on best product to buy, best place to buy from(local not someone who uses 3rd party delivery), service contracts, etc. please message away. In the meantime, unless you absolutely have to and look forward to seeing me sweat from head to toe and take 2 hours to break this down and clean and reassemble, with the actual right amount of screws, please please please get a vented dryer. Now back to changing out heating elements and valves. 😂
