Unlike traditional dryers, you typically do not need to manually remove lint from a dedicated lint trap or condenser in a washer dryer combo.
How Lint is Managed Automatically
Washer dryer combo appliances are designed to be maintenance-friendly regarding lint. The reference indicates that these machines do not have a standard lint trap that requires regular emptying after each drying cycle.
Instead, the lint is handled automatically through the unit's washing capabilities:
- Washed Away During Drying: Lint is washed away with the residual moisture from your clothes during the drying process.
- Removed in the Next Wash: Any remaining lint is flushed away with the water used in the subsequent washing cycle.
This automatic process means you don't clean the lint trap and condenser manually in the same way you would with separate dryer units.
Key Takeaway:
- Washer dryer combos typically lack a manual lint trap to empty.
- Lint is automatically removed by being washed away.
- This occurs either with residual moisture during drying or with the water of the next wash.
This design simplifies maintenance, removing the frequent task of clearing a lint filter.
