Kenmore / Electrolux 24” Laundry Pair

.
Been on a roll lately picking up stuff for resale. Easier to buy than sell, but that’s to be expected.
Anyway these 2018 Kenmores pop up for $250/pair with the caviot being the dryer is not getting hot.
I immediately recognized them as Electroluxes, and then found the manual online at Sears.
Read up and found out it could very well be user error, this being a non-vented condenser dryer.
The seller is a property manager who somehow acquired the units and wanted them gone asap.
I obliged and put both in my Saturn wagon and got them home.
When the guy said he was, “thinking of filling the top tank of the dryer with water”, i knew user error was a distinct possibility.
Also, apparently, there are two “common household” fuses in the dryer...as per the manual.
So i am hopeful at getting these two back out the door asap with a tidy profit.
I will update you’all when i get to them.

That washer should be really good. It's the same platform as sold here in the EU , with recirculation system, good motor technology and pretty decent cycle design.

The dryer is the typical EU condenser dryer: Slow, hot, unefficent, "hard to use" (in air quotes, any EU household somehow got along with them).

You might want to check the dryer for a tripped resettable high limit thermostat (previous owner overstuffed it -> overheating).

If sell them, give the buyer 3 big advices:

a) Only loosely fill the drum. Full is ok, but not pushing, compacting, stuffing. Basicly, if he/she loads any item individually, and only loads loosely until the back wall of the drum isn't visible anymore, they have a good sized load. I can wash 6 of my M-size hoodies or m-size sweat pants or 30/32 jeans in one load, or 6 medium towels, or 2 large and 2 medium ones, or about a weeks worth of shirts, underwear and socks for 2 of simmilar size.

b) Such a load from the washer is a FULL LOAD for the dryer as well.

c) Always try to use cycles with lower temperature levels on the dryer. Reviewed tested them and temps peaked at 190F.

Reviews I've read on that washer here in the States have not been too favorable, but who knows?  I'm curious as well.
