I don't know if there were others, my but my 1955 GM Frigidaire Filtrator is a ventless dryer. A fan ( I think there is one) blows the air over a condensor, and then the water would drain out. |

Our "home ec" class at school had a water cooled condenser dryer. IIRC it was made during the 1960's or 1970's and was made by Whirlpool or GE. May have the manufacturer muddled, but it wasn't by Frigidaire, and distinctly remember the home ec teacher turning on the water before starting the dryer. Indeed she made rather allot of noise about this as she had to use the dryer during water shortages and all. L. |

The GE Combo I am working on is a condensor model - during the dry cycle, cold water runs into a chamber and the hot, moist air rising from the tub will hit the cold chamber and the moisture will fall into the inner tub. The water flowing out of the condenser chamber will also wash away lint that falls off the clothes as they tumble. I have heard that they will boost the humidity in the room where they are running, but apparently things will dry very well and be very fluffy. Hope this helps!! |
