I opened up the 58 Econo Model Combo last nite to replace gaskets and found a spotless inside. See how clean it is this is because it was used as a WASHER and a DRYER not just one or the other. Things should be used for their natures, this machine was desinged to be both. See the photographic evidence below. |

That's incredible, Jon, and it sure does underscore your point. I was thinking the other day that it'd be fun to have a combo and a top-loader in my laundry room (only room for two, alas--travesty!), but it's obvious that cheating and using the combo as a part-time dryer only would wreck the yin-yang balance between washer and dryer. I wonder if you could use it as a dryer occasionally if you made sure to run full wash-dry cycles in the interim, or if the cleaning of the mechanism is so dependent on constant washer-dryer runs that you'd upset the delicate balance if you did so. |

From what I have read in the ancient doctrine the design was dependant on frequent washing as the spray inside the condenser tube and heater box is not very aggressive its more like a splash than a spray. Do you see in the first photo of the blower box just behind the turquoise wire there is a smooth corner in there? That is where the water hits and divides to the heater box and condenser tube. You are looking down the condenser tube. So it's not a sharp corner its very rounded. I would love to see the fill in action there. jon |
