Limitations
This model lacks advanced features like multiple wash cycles, temperature control, and automatic load sensing found in modern machines. Its drying capacity is limited compared to standalone dryers, necessitating smaller load sizes for effective drying. The electromechanical controls, while simple, do not allow precision settings or customization options desired by some users. Energy efficiency is lower compared to newer washer-dryers with inverter technology and optimized water usage. Noise levels during operation are higher due to older motor and drum suspension designs. Maintenance parts may be difficult to source due to the model’s discontinued status and limited aftermarket support.
