I'm aware of the disasters of Amanatag washers, what about the dryers? Are they rubbish as well? I'm kinda regretting that I let a nice one slip by recently! | ||

Amanatag (SDE) dryers...
I've seen several issues with these. 1)The drums frequently are not perfectly round. They are very capable of producing a loud knock or rattley rumble as they turn. A few times, the REPLACEMENT drum was even worse! 2) VERY sensitive to airflow issues. If the vent isn't optimal at all times, it'll blow the element mounted thermal cutout repeatedly. It didn't help that they either scimped on or mis-mounted the seal between the blower housing and the lint filter plenum. 3) They LOVE to eat idler pulleys. This by the way is pretty much the same pulley that the Ananatag (SAV) washers use... 4)There was a recall on a few models having to do with the cycling thermostat heater and wiring. The T-Stat bias heater can... errr... incinerate. I've seen a few. They are just not what I would call a long lasting design or worth much to buy second (or first) hand, IMHO... RCD | ||
