Splendid Washer/Dryer

[Kevarino]

What is the trick to get non wrinkled clothes from the Splendid Washer/Dryer?

[Planning]

Also, do not neglect manually initiating a lint-cleaning procedure (as recommended by Splendide) to prevent the dryer air duct from clogging:

Obtained in 2011 from Splendide’s Technical operation, Westland Sales in Oregon 800-356-0766 (#5), or 503-656-2280 (#5) technician San Saechao

PROCEDURE FOR CLEARING LINT FROM MACHINE’S INTERIOR DUCT

1. Run the unit, without clothes, and with the dry time off, on cycle #11.

2. When the water stops entering the unit push, and hold the start
button until all the lights come on, then release the button.

3. Next, move the cycle knob to cycle # 2 and press the start button
once (do not hold). The unit will resume filling with additional water.

4. Let it run through that complete cycle.

5. Do this twice.

If in frequent use, do this once each month to avoid buildup.

If the above treatment fails, try it again, adding a cup of white vinegar to break down the deposited soap and fabric softener.

FALL BACK PROCEDURE IF THE ABOVE PROCEDURE FAILS

1. Pull the unit out and remove flexible exhaust duct.

2. Pick out as much lint as you can from the air outlet on the back of
the dryer.

3. Put a garden hose in the outlet and blow the blockage into the
washer.

4. Run the washer on a short cycle. The blockage breaks up and
goes out the drain.

Remove from Splendide and hang.

After wearing pressed and starched shirts for so many years, I love the look of wrinkles!

Yes load size is key.
I would also add that there is a trap on the lower right front behind the bottom trim. that should be cleaned annually.
It’s not a lint filter. More like a coin trap. I never checked mine in ten years and this summer the unit started acting up; not rinsing right. Read the manual and cleaned it and there was three quarters, a few nickels and some pennies.

We use fabric softner and dryer balls but don't take clothes out between wash + dry.

Load size is also important.

Thank You All.

I’ll try all of these hints.

We use a little fabric softener and add two dryer balls after washing and also shake the clothes between wash dry.

Too many clothes and too much soap are the biggest culprits. I recently did a load and the stretch jeans came out so wrinkled they were unwearable. I put them back in with one other item and rewashed them without any soap. Came out perfectly.

Also, drop one of these in an empty load every once in a while. The hoiles in the drum get plugged up and inhibits the airflow.

Take the clothes out between wash and dry cycle and shake them out. Separate loads - i.e. washer loads can be twice as large as dryer loads. I tend to hang dry as many clothes as possible such as tee shirts and light weight shorts. Don't buy clothes that wrinkle easily. Don't use too much soap.
