Go dobi, wash and dry ur clothes.

I think the Jap washer dryer combo still retains a lint filter compared to European styled ones. They have it at the top of the machine. I've never seen an article detailing methods and the types of brushes used until now with pictures too.

The cost.

I have been searching and read the manual if there any filter that need to be clean. But none.

So I think the lint is wash away by the water when next cycle WM is use. It don't need filter for combo.

But there is a youtube video that show how to clean the recycle hot air path if the drying time is longer. The lint block the moisture sensor after long time use.

Time for me to dismantle the WM and clean it up.

How accessible is this airway and sensor?

I think this is the only gas dryer in Malaysia available at this moment.

If not mistaken, have to open the top and behind the panel. Open the blower, duct and clean.

Not difficult for DIY. But not easy also for normal people.

Found the video.

Wow, seems like I would invest in a Jap style washer dryer hypothetically speaking. The Eurostyle W/D combos make it hard to maintain and in our climate, what are the chances of one failing especially hearing those Electrolux W/D combos in this forum? The clogging of the air way and sensor seems to be the main culprit. Where else? There's three areas at least I can think of that needs cleaning. Could be more. The air cowl on the top as disassembled, the air way (need to detach the bottom in order to hose down then blow dry) and the bottom part which should be very nasty to reach much less clean. Seems like the Jap has thought it through on making it maintenance friendly.

In my actual situation and experience of 8yrs this combo type, I didn't done any maintenance so far.

So far there is no drying time drop.

No breakdown or any issue at all.

The only cleaning I do is the detergent dispenser, door rubber seal and the drainer filter.

Monthly is the tube cleaning. Which pour the Daiso WM soda in and press the tube clean mode.

Since it already 8yrs old, I guess it is time to dismantle and clean it. Not to stress it that far and wait till it breakdown.

Since youtube have the video (thanks to the youtube guy), that not difficult for me to dismantle it.

Hmmm, there's a valid reason why your machine is still surviving besides the maintenance..The size of it vs a standard (WHD598x850x600) washer dryer. Your WD combo is bigger, taller and wider hence its airway could be larger too. Hence not easy to clog.

Probably I didn't do much drying with the WM. Dryer is my 2nd choice while sun is 1st choice. I only use dryer when there is no sun, raining season, dry not through with the sun and busy weekend.

Beside that, we don't have much wool fabric type cloth or cool season cloth. Which have a lot of lint. Contribute to the clogging fast.

I don't have much experience when buying the combo that time. It is new here and guess not much people know about it. I only research it and get it base on the

1) popularity of the brand from the west country user. (they know best)
2) The bigger drum to reduce the machine stress on the mechanism. And able to wash the comforter. Also reduce the washing cycle per yrs. That contribute to the longer lifetime of the WM.
3) The dryer type that can save energy.

Thks for sharing ozak! Really good insight and advice esp your maintenance protocol. Something else to think about now on the suitability of washer dryers now or even dryers for that matter.

any one here using beko dryer?
i am looking at DPS7405XW3, quite a good deal for a heat pump dryer.

my electrolux dryer seems a bit noisy lately. i read that it could be some bearings or pulleys or whatnots. its a low end model so i dont intend to fix it.
my washer is also electrolux and my dryer is stacked on top of the washer.

so i was shopping for a new one and the salesperson told me i cant stack those heavy heat pump type dryers cause they are too heavy. i checked with electrolux and they said the same thing, cant stack too heavy.

but i look at the installation manual, there are instructions on how to stack them. anyone with real world experience on this?

btw my current dryer is vented. i think i might get a condenser type this time around. so ppl here are buying vented or condenser types?

Guys, I'm in need of suggestions.

Currently am looking at
Panasonic NH-P80G2 @ RM3948
Electrolux EDC2086PDW @ RM3320

Both are 8kg.

What are your recommendations and why?

Panasonic is inverter and drys at a lower temperature. The Electrolux does it come with a shoe rack?

We bought this Daewoo unit.

Direct drive, no belt. And we got it down to RM2800 incl Najib's tax & delivery, which is friggin' awesome for a 10kg washer dryer.

Cannot lansi like the bigger brands ppl like to brag abt, but with the money we saved we bought a Beko dishwasher (RM2000)... kakakaka...

That's two white goods, under our budget of RM5000. Topped up a bit more and got an Electrolux microwave + oven unit. Hampalang sapu...
