Problems With Mini Washer Dryer Combo

!±8± Problems With Mini Washer Dryer Combo

It might sound great to have a mini washer dryer because it has two functions in one. However, there are also problems that you will experience with that as well. What do I mean by that? You will find out about that in this article.

1.) It takes much longer to get your clothes washed and dried. Most consumers say that the total time to get their clothes done is about 2 hours. If you use a washing machine and a dryer separately, it probably takes you about 1 hour. Of course, this also depends on the brand and speed of your washer. Unfortunately, none of the mini washer dryer that is out can get the job done fast.

2.) You cannot put much clothes in there. There is a reason why it is described as mini because it is very small. If you are living with a family, then this is not the right washer for you. However, it is great for someone who is living alone. Even if you are living alone, you won't be able to put a large load of clothes in there. Since one wash already takes a long time to finish, two or more will feel like it is taking forever.

3.) It is hard to find replacement parts. It is like buying an exotic car because not many consumers purchase the mini washer dryer. You will have a hard time finding people to service it as well finding parts in stores to help fix the washer.

4.) Most of these are not reliable. There are many complaints about flooding or problems with the dryer not heating up. Please look at reviews online carefully to make the right decision.

My GE Washer Is Leaking Oil On The Floor, What Should I Do?

!±8± My GE Washer Is Leaking Oil On The Floor, What Should I Do?

Oil under the washer is not a good sign. The first thing to do is to disconnect the washer from the wall outlet, remember that safety should come first.

Remove the front panel of the washer. To do that, you could use a spatula to release the front panel holing clips. These clips are about 3 inches from the sides of the front panel. Insert the spatula between the top and the front panels and push the holding clips until they release the front panel.

Remove the front panel and use a drop light to illuminate the area under the washer. If the oil is leaking from the transmission seal, it will be all over the transmission pulley, the belt and the clutch assembly.

The correct procedure will be to replace the transmission and the belt. That in my opinion is too expensive to do, probably will be better to get another washer.

Now, if the oil leak it is small, what you may be able to do, it is to remove the belt and use degreaser to clean the transmission pulley, the belt and the clutch. Then reinstall the belt and adjust it. This may buy you time before you need to buy a new washer. Use baby powder to dry the belt before installing it.

I will not worry much about putting any oil in the transmission, jus run the washer it until you can't use it any more. Install the front panel and try the washer to see if it works better. These washer are not made like the older ones, you are lucky if the washer last you over six years.

I see many customer do this and get at least a couple months on the washer, before having to get a new washer.
