Well, that would make sense. Unfortunately, the lint filter housing on the earlier models had a bad tendency to warp and bow, letting small items fall into the lint filter housing and possibly get sucked up in the blower wheel. The relatively late model dryers had a chrome strip that prevented that from happening. They also changed the rubber seal from being on the actual front of the dryer to the inside of the dryer door too. Always trying to rectify the poor design of these dryers, but alas too late....After White Westinghouse got them, the biggest pieces of crap ever put out as dryers were made for several years until they started making them like the old style Westinghouse dryers. The washers were simply rebadged White Westinghouse top loaders. Still yet, the pictures of my GM made Frigidaire washer and dryer in the beginning of this post are very nice looking units and while they worked properly, they were good machines too. Just trouble prone and required a lot of attention. I do think it is a shame and kind of puzzling that this machine did not have the electronic drying feature. I think by the time these machines were made they had totally stopped making electronic dryness dryers and were on their way out of the appliance business. In my opinion, while they had many good ideas and designs in part, they had too many flaws.
