As Henrik said above, the (electric) heating elements would either switch off entirely or just one would switch off during the reverse tumble on European dryers that pretty much all only had one motor in the past.
The F&P dryers now available on AjMadison lack the reverse tumble, unfortunately. The older Electrolux models also reversed, but only during the cool down. |

Has reverse tumbling. Interestingly however if you choose "Quick" drying it does not reverse until the cool down period when things (presumably) are dry. Well dry as anything can be coming out of a condenser dryer. *LOL*
Think there are a few other settings where dryer won't reverse as well. Barely use the thing so cannot say.. |

I have a Wave Touch that has that option on many cycles, especially nice on bedding loads. |

As have often said, it wasn't my idea; but the thing came part of set (Lavamat and Lavatherm). If one had one's way would have waited for something more interesting like the Miele (French) vented dryer that was basically being given away one foolishly let slip by.
Don't do heavy/thick things in the Lavatherm, they go into the Whirlpool compact or round the corner to dryers are laundryette. But for other things drying time isn't *that* much longer than the WP, and you get the wonderful condenser dryer scent. |

. . . reverses. I have never had anything to ball up while drying. It might take a couple minutes longer to do a load because the heat (gas) does not come on during the reverse tumble. Jerry Gay |

The GE right height dryers have the detangle assist that reverses, the profile before that had the two motors, I miss that dryer.
The GE Harmony dryer had the duo-dry system which was two motors. I've got a customer wanting to upgrade her laundry, so I'm hoping to get her GE harmony dryer. The Miele's reverse, but they have the one motor, air flow alternates back to front etc. Which LG reverse tumbles? Ideally, I'd like a dryer that reverse tumbles (dual motor) and has a true steam generator. I doubt such an animal exists lol. |
