Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Possibly something sharp, like a broken zip pull attached to a bulky item pierced the seal, or hooked through a drain hole in the seal and the seal ripped and twisted up rather than the item ripping.

A common problem with some early washer dryer designs was fastenings like buttons getting hooked in the air vent hole at the front, although that usually ripped the clothing.
 
Torn door boot on a front load washer

This can happen with any front load washer it’s definitely user air. They didn’t show what item was stuck in the boot probably a pair of jeans with a screwdriver in the pocket, lol.

The unfortunate thing is GE will end up paying for this user error this guy should be a whole lot, nicer with a whole house full of GE appliances. They might get tired of his bullshit pretty quickly Treating the service provider like that is not the way to get good service wait until that refrigerator starts breaking down.

I’m afraid Pete, this video is not worth posting except to show what assholes people can be in this world.

Issue is that it's very easy to bend the fins of the heat exchanger - and once they are bend, they impede airflow even worse than some fluff.

While yes any lint build up on the evap isn't optimal, it takes a lot more than you'd think to have any major impact.
Keep in mind most lint is in the front half inch of the heat exchanger, the rest of it will be basically free of any lint.
 
Today I scrapped a Miele Heat Pump drier from 2011, I bought it second hand for $100 and when it arrived, there were no secondary filters and the front of the evaporator was choked with fluff and lint. I cleaned it out but it never managed to dry a load, it would get warm but never hot, it was either worn out from age or abuse.

I stripped it down for parts as everything other than the sealed system is compatible with the 4 others that I have, what amazed me, is how clean the evaporator and condenser were, considering that the front of the evaporator was originally stuffed full of fluff. For those speculating about the fluff forcing itself all the way through, this is what a 13yo abused dryer looks like.

I had only ever cleaned the front, the rest of the unit is as freshly unwrapped.

The evaporator is at the front, the condenser at the back and there is a secondary condenser in front of the compressor, this is used to dump heat into the room to reduce the temp in the airflow and to help improve the condensation of moisture.

Best of all, I dissaessmbled the entire thing, with just the refrigeration system left on the base, all with a single Torx Screwdriver. No other tools needed
