Frequently Asked Questions

• How do condensing dryers work?

  Conventional dryers heat and circulate air throughout the clothes, picking up lint and moisture, then passing it out of the residence. All that air and energy is then thrown out of the residence along with the energy it took to cool/heat that air in the residence. Then the residence has to reheat/cool that air again.

  Water based condensers are popular in combination washer/dryer units. The air inside the machine is heated and circulated through the clothes, then passed through a chamber where the contact with a fine mist of cold water causes the moisture to condense. The condensate collects in the bottom of the chamber and is pumped down the same drain as was the wash water. The dry air is then re-circulated through the clothes to begin the process again. This is a sealed system with no discharge of heat, lint, or humidity.

  The following is a more detailed description of this same process: The condensing tumble dryer has two air circulation systems: one for the drying air and one for the cooling air. The black arrows in the diagram to the left indicate the path of the drying air, and the white arrows indicate the room-temperature cooling air.

  Drying Air (indicated by black arrows)

  1. The air is heated by the heater.
  2. It is then drawn through the drum, where it absorbs moisture from the clothes.
  3. The air leaves the drum through the lint filter in the door and passes to the fan and on the condenser.
  4. The saturated air passes through the condenser, where the moisture condenses out. The water runs down into the container, where it is either pumped up into the main container or flows out through a drain hose to a drain.

  Cooling Air (indicated by white arrows)

  The condenser is cooled by air at room temperature, drawn in through the back of the machine and blown through the condenser, exhausting through the grills at the front of the machine. If the machine is built in, air is drawn in through the gap between the floor and the underside of the machine.

  NOTE: To ensure proper air circulation, the exhaust opening and adjacent areas should be kept free from lint, dust and dirt.

• How can your washers and dryers go under counters and still hold full-sized loads?

  The front-loader’s design is much more efficient because you use every bit of the tank, not just part of it. Eliminating the agitator means the tank doesn’t have to be as large to hold the same size load. Having out-front control also helps.

• Where does the water go in the dryer that doesn't have an external vent?

  In ventless dryers, it is flushed down the same drain as the washer.

• What is a D.F.U.?

  The Drainage Fixture Unit Values (DFU) is defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), and can be used to determine the required drainage capacity from the fixtures and their service systems.

• What does the term "Make Up Air" refer to?

  Vented dryers exhaust conditioned air (cool or heat) from the dwelling to the outside. That air needs to be replaced in the home and in most cases reconditioned. On average, vented dryers consume 12,000 cubic feet of air per hour. The use of a condenser dryer eliminates this concern.

• What is the market acceptance of in-unit laundry products?

  Condensing, vent-less dryers and combination laundry products have been popular in Europe and Asia for decades. The demand for more efficient laundry equipment increases daily as Americans become more energy-conscious. Major developers and management companies have been installing combos and separate machines such as condensing dryers in their communities for several years. Demand will continue to grow as in-unit laundry becomes more of a marketing requirement for upscale communities.

• How will in-unit laundry affect the net income of my multi-family properties?

  Surveys in the metropolitan Washington DC area have shown rent increases of $40-$100 per month with the inclusion of in-unit laundry; condominium values increase from $5,000-$15,000 per unit. Net utility costs may actually go down if you currently have shared laundry facilities. Water costs will stay about the same; even though more loads are likely to be washed, the machines are so efficient that water usage will not increase substantially. Electricity bills may well go down, as you are paying all utilities for a shared facility, and the resident is probably picking up the electric bill for the in-unit machines. Even if you are paying the electrical costs, the efficiency of these machines will keep energy costs down.

• Will an all-in-one washer / dryer combination wash clothes as well as my current washer?

  Yes, and often more effectively! The tumbling action of a front loading washer gently lifts the clothes in and out of the water hundreds of times during the wash cycle. This action cleans and rinses your clothes better than top loading washers and is more gentle on the fabric. Also, the LG Washer Dryer Combo goes through three rinses during the regular cycle, eliminating any detergent residue that is ordinarily left in the clothing.

• Do all-in-one washer / dryer combinations operate much differently than what I'm used to?

  Yes, somewhat. Always remember the loads are smaller and the wash and dry cycles combined take approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours to complete a load. So gear your wash habits differently. Wash a load every day or every other day rather than trying to wash everything in one day. Also, a condensing drying system is different than a standard hot air dryer. Because condensing dryers do not vent, it is completely normal for them to run for a longer time than a standard vented model (even though these machines run longer, they use two thirds less energy than a standard vented dryer). For best results shake & fold or hang on a clothes hanger right away to avoid wrinkling. Remember, gear your wash habits a bit differently and keep your expectations within reason and you’ll love your washer dryer combo.

• Where can all-in-one washer / dryer combinations be installed?

  The most important thing is to install the LG in a place that is most convenient for you. It can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, laundry rooms, or closets. Keep in mind the beauty of all-in-one washer / dryer combos is the versatility of installation. With the elimination of humid air venting, your options are unlimited. As long as you have access to plumbing, a drain, and a standard electrical receptacle, it can be installed anywhere.

• What type of detergent can be used with an all-in-one washer dryer combination?

  A low sudsing detergent, such as ALL, Fresh Start, Purex, Bold, Solo or “New Tide HE” works best. It is best to use powder, but liquid low sudsing detergent works fine. We recommend “Ecovantage” as one of the best on the market.

• How much detergent does an all-in-one washer dryer combination use per wash?

  1 to 2 tablespoons. This means big savings on detergent costs!

• Can fabric softener be used in an all-in-one washer dryer combination?

  Yes, liquid fabric softerner only. Condenser Drying systems cannot handle dryer sheets. They break down and clog the drying system that a ventless dryer uses. We recommend using a quality liquid fabric softener because it makes the drying cycle more efficient and helps avoid wrinkles. In addition, the clothes come out softer and fluffier.

• Can an all-in-one washer dryer combination be raised off the floor?

  Yes, as long as the base is level and is made of very sturdy construction.

• How long does it take to wash and dry a load of clothes in an all-in-one washer dryer?

  The amount of time it takes to wash and dry a load of clothes depends on the type and size of the load (delicates, permanent press or cottons). The average total wash and dry time is 2 1/2 to 3 hours. This approximates the total time it takes to both wash and dry a comparable load of clothing in a separate washer and dryer system.
