VERY COOL 1960 FRIGIDARE CONDENSER DRYER It sounds like some great stuff. Your dryer is the last year of the large Frigidare condenser dryers it is a very cool sturdy appliance. The sprinkler was to dampen clothing for Ironing, the newer dryers today with the steam settings are for refreshing wrinkled clothing and don't actually leave the clothing damp. We want to hear more about the other Frigidare pair, try to get model #s and pictures. | ||

Don't tell us you are getting a set of charcoal grey control tower Frigidaires?!?!? Those are some of the most coveted units out there. | ||

CHANCES OF FINDING A 1960 CI WASHER Are not great but thats one thing that makes this hobby so much fun as we are all always on the lookout for that cool rare appliance. Tom has a pair of these at our warehouse-museum that can be seen. Even as long as I have been collecting appliances I have not found a number of appliances that I would like to have. | ||

Adding to Jason's info on condenser dryers, think about a huge glass of iced tea and sitting out by the pool with it.Condensation immediately forms on the outer part of the container and gets the area around it soaked.Condensation in the condenser dryers is either drained out into a chamber or container that you have to physically dump. The Frigidaires had a tubular cube that needed cleaning on occasion but, the liquid was evaporated so there was nothing to need to drain out. My Askos and my Mieles both had trays to empty but either could be connected to a drain hose instead but still had lint build up that you had to clean out every three to five loads to assure the best dryness.Here in Hawaii (and anywhere else there is a tropical environment)the condensor style of drying is not practical because the water here gets no colder than 84F and does not condense as easily as it does in, say, New York or Washington.The colder the water is, the faster the condensation works.Many times, after the cycle is over, as you open the dryer, there will be a steam build up escaping and the clothes seam to still be damp but , as soon as the outside air hits them, the left over moisture evaporates and the clothes are bone dry.

CONDENSER DRYERS ALL air cooled condenser dryers collect water and must either be emptied or connected to some sort of drain system, there would be no point of condensing the water in the first place if the dryer was just going to evaporate it back into the air.
ALL water cooled condenser dryers carry the condensed water away with the cooling water that is used to cause the condensing to take place.
And all air cooled condensing dryers have filters or other traps that must be cleaned of lint regularly.
Most water cooled condenser dryers carry any collected lint down the drain with the water, but some have traps or screens that may need occasional cleaning. | ||
