How many minutes does it take to dry a normal load?

Congratulation on your new dryer. Could you tell us more about its performance.

It seems there is a lot of twisting action on the clothing. One end of the clothing is rotating in one direction and the opposite end in the reverse direction.

I think I will stick to a conventional FL. Anyone has experience with this FL?

This dryer has two motor. One motor of about 1/4 to 1/3 is used to rotate the drum at constant speed with reversing capability. A smaller motor operating at variable speed to drive the blower fan.

What kind of drum would you like?

I used the PPress Temp to dry a load of cotton/mixed this morning. It took about 3 to 5% longer to reach the target temperature at the drum outlet. It seems that the dryness and condition of the clothing is quite similar to that using the NORMAL Temp. I think that there is practically no...

As read from the GE Harmony Dryer manual, this blow motor is supplied by an inverter to run a variable speed from 1100 rpm to 2700 rpm. However, there are many complaints about the noisy of this motor after a few year of service.

Further findings for the GE dryer: a) NORMAL Temperature: The temperature at the drum outlet varies from 133F to 154F when the target temperature is reached. The Control Inlet temperature would be maintained within a limit (say 180F to 210F) b) PPress Temperature: The temperature at the...

Congratulation on your new washer.

Thanks combo52 for the valuable info from your experience.

It is hard to believe an 24" dryer could dry 8kg !?

Looking at the data from the GE circuit diagram: a) The inlet temperature of the GE is maintained from 180F to 210F by the Control Inlet Thermostat and the Safety Left Thermostat b) The Thermo Hi-Limit Right Thermostat will shut down the whole dryer if the inlet temperature exceeds 250F when...

combo52 says: "On a full sized WP built electric dryer the heater will not cycle even once until the exhaust or blower housing thermostat is satisfied." Most 29" WP uses "High-limit Thermostat of 250 deg F and Thermal Fuse of 360 deg F" at the inlet. The high-limit may not have a chance to...

combo52 says: "Only GE and Frigidare still put the heaters so close to the clothes load and as a result they have to use very sensitive thromostats to prevent the above mentioned problems with clothing damage and fires. Even European dryers separate the heater element from the clothes by...

How long is your vent system and how many elbows are in it? The length of the flexible aluminum is about 3ft. I estimated the length of the rigid metal is about 8 ft. The effective no of elbows could be 4. This seems to be within the recommendation for the GE dryer.

XXX 4)The temperature variation at the outlet is about 20F (say 133F to 154F) with the Control Inlet Thermostat in active mode. XXX should read 4)The temperature variation at the outlet is about 20F (say 133F to 154F) with the Drum Outlet Thermostat in active mode.

Today a similar cotton/mixed load was used to test the dryer with the new hood. A) From 0 to 10 min, the temp was increasing slowly from 66F to 117F (51F increase) B) From 10 to 20 min, the temp was increasing very slowly from 117F to 122 (only 5F increase). C) From 20 to 30 min, the temp...

New 4" hood on the left. Old 2.5" hood on the right. New hood was installed to replace the old hood yesterday. There is less restriction of air-flow using the new hood. I will try to find out if there is any improvement in drying time.

US VS EUROPEAN DRYERS I would say that US dryers are optimally designed for NA market in terms of simplicity and easy of maintenance and low cost and relatively large capacity.
