If you have 24 inches and can put the machine near the sink, something to consider might be a T/L BOL WP or KM. One water level One cycle One wash/rinse temp: warm/cold If you will be connecting it to a sink/faucet, then one temp makes no diff. Locking casters(*wheels*) may even be an option. Adding these to a BOL may still be much less expesnive than a compact portable. Plus side: a full-sized load in a compact cabinet. |

BTW- There are also "Y" hoses and rigid "pipe-like" connectors that feed both sides (hot/cold) of the solenoid from ONE fill hose, to do the snap-coupler at the faucet routine. When I am in a rental apt for a few years in the near future I was thinking of getting a 24 inch wide (60cm) T/L-er while I still can. No point in taking my Frigidaire F/L-er with me, these 9 or equivalent)will be plentiful here in the US in the future. [Now, any thoughts in gettin a reluglar (110/220v 30a line)electric dryer and working out a Franken-dry situation by putting a 110v heating element in it? ] |

yup.. a 220 volt line (with our system, on this continent)is basically two 110 volt lines. (They are two different hot-legs, however. If from the same hot-leg the voltage will be ZERO, rather than 220v.) They can share one ground wire safely. Won't get more techincal here; but each hot leag is basically a different *phase* (purposely out-of-synch with the other). |

This explains it better, but still a little confused. So...could you use 2 110 lines to run the electric dryer? Or, you woun't be able to do because of the two diferent hot legs? |

In theory yes. But they would have to be fed from the panel box(conusmer-unit => uk) in a certaian way.. Specifically.. meaning one from the black (incoming)wire, and one from the red. Can't take both from the same *hot-leg* (color). Also an American clothes dryer neeads heavier(thicker) wire to handle the required 30 amp draw; most househodd wiring is not of that grade/capacity. |

Ray: Sounds like a three-wire cable was split to use 220 volts for the heater, then ONE side of the ciruit(one hot [color] + the neutral [white]) to get 110v for your outlets. This is not dangerous even though there MAY be a more preferred wiring method. My advice? Don't fret, at all. PERFECTY SAFE, IMHO. |

Now I think I understand better. This is interesting. Thanks for the explanation. You are going to make a "wire" man out of me. LOL |

The Danby washer from what I can see from the pictures is a very well built machine. It should last you many years of use. Happy washing! CLICK HERE TO GO TO norgeman's LINK |
