- Welcome to Scrub and Corn - when house keeping meets home cooking
It's winter here in New Zealand - time when drying outside is very challenging.
In this video, we are going to unbox Electrolux's 8kg Condenser Dryer.
We purchased this appliance at Harvey Norman on Queen's Bday. Why condenser dryer? because condenser tumble dryers energy efficient (compare to vented dryers) and does not require ventilation.

BTW... your instructions are one of the best I seen, and with the added text, makes it all the more easy to follow. Wish there were more like you on Utube... well done mate!
Just unpacked one. Good video 👍🏻💪🏻
Thanks @piciomir2221. 😊
Good video with setup. Thank you very much
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Hi Jack M. Apologies for the very late reply. My response could be in your inbox held for review. Anyway, the dryer is doing very well. The sensor drying works really good. It automatically stops the drying cycle once the moisture is gone to avoid unnecessary waste on power. Equiped with reverse tumble action - means tangle free and less wrinkle. Very happy with the purchase.
Wishing everyone a blissful new year and covid-free 2021.

First
Hi Quan Phan. The issue could be due to the less moisture from your laundry. That is how the sensor drying works. Sometimes it's difficult to dry damp clothes as the sensor dryer is sensitive. Otherwise, try contacting your dealer if the unit is defective. They will replace or repair the appliance if still under warranty. All the best.
Wishing everyone a blissful new year and covid-free 2021.

Hiya, Thank you for this detailed video. We are looking forward to buy the heat pump version (edh903bewa) of yours. Hopefully, the back will be similar to the one you have. So I can attach the draining kit easily. Removing water from the container is a hassle, so I really want to connect the drain kit.
Got the EDH903BEWA today and the drain kit installation is almost the same. Water hardness level buttons were slightly different (Reverse plus + End alert). Awesome video, keep them coming.
Hi @BugsBunny. Thanks for watching our video. Apologies for the very late reply. Hope your new dryer is doing great. Cheers.
@@scrubandcorn3157 Dont want to jinx it but it is doing fantastic. Best dryer we've had. We barely can see an increase in the electricity bill compared to not having a dryer. Perfectly dried clothes and no sheet bundles. Low sound. The dryer rack is getting used more often than I initially thought. So I am loving it.
Thanks so much for your review, and breakdown on the steps. But, I’m wondering is it necessary to have the tubing to a nearest sink? I’m living in a studio and don’t have a sink that’s close by.
Hi Elena. It's just an option. I think that tubing is best if you have a stacked setup (dryer on top of washer) where the reservoir is too high to reach. Thanks for watching. Like and subscribe. 😊
My dryer runs for 5 minutes and the program is disabled
Why bro ???
I am wondering, what is happening when you hold the 2 buttons together and it changes from -2- to -1- to -0- which is then correct? Thank you :)
Hi, I just installed this dryer on top of my Laundry bench (nowhere else to install). It works ok, but just 2 things not happy with.
1/ Is the noise it makes towards the end of the drying period which goes on for a few minutes.
2/ The 3" gap at the back that shows a whole lot of ugly parts (from side view) of the machine.
So I guess I ask if there is a plate that should cover that gap, and is the noise normal? Thanks... Mike.
Hi Mikey. Apologies for the very late reply. Here are my answers on your questions. 1. The noise at the end of the drying period is likely the passing of collected water (condensation) towards the reservoir or the anti-crease function is on and working. 2. I reckon the engineers designed the gap on purpose to prevent the appliance from overheating. And also, most of these appliance were installed under a laundry bench or laundry cabinets.

Wow
Thanks
how is this dryer doing?
Thanks so much for this video. Way better than Electrolux. So I gather from your video the D11 is not needed?? There is nothing in the instructions that mentions this. Also what was the point of the water hardness test? And I did not understand the purpose of the setting adjustment. The instructions from Electrolux are really inadequate…
Hi @suevize6853. The appliance is set by default to drain in the supplied reservoir. Otherwise, you can use the DK11 kit to bypass the reservoir and drain the moisture to the nearest sink. This is ideal when the appliance is stacked on top of a washer as reservoir will be set high and difficult to reach. With regards to water hardness test, it is essential as hardness levels vary from different places. The dryness level can be adjusted based on the results.

@@scrubandcorn3157 Appreciate your reply. I figured out the drain kit. But I did not receive the hardness tester.... I guess it will work out.
Might not get an answer but here goes, you did not show it in the video, but on the back of the machine at the very bottom is a hole/fitting of some kind (for a hose?) what is this for? We put our seethrough hose onto that fitting and out in the sink since we want to use the water container on the top left.
Happy New Year Christer. I don't remember seing an out at the bottom part of yhe appliance. The default setting or configuration for water collection is the tank/reservoir. The fitting kit is for direct discharge to the nearest laundry tub. Thanks for watching. Like and subscribe!
Hey mate what does holding gentle dry and extra anti crease actually do???
Hi Lachlan203. According to the user manual, you can use the gentle dry programme on fabrics containing acrylics or viscose. With this option you can set a delicate drying programme that has a low temperature. Look for the symbol with square, circle, and a dot in the middle. Sorry I can't find a symbol to insert here.
For extra anti-crease, this extends the anti-crease phase by 60 minutes at the end of the drying cycle. This function reduces creases. You can remove the laundry during this phase.
Happy washing. Like and subscribe!
Hey, I got one of these dryers and I’m wondering on the right side of the condenser are those 3 foam strips supposed to stay or be removed?
Hi @elliotmoritz8993. I reckon you don't have to as they were secured properly. Otherwise, it should be in the user manual if it requires removal prior to use the appliance. It is something to do with insulation, I believe. I never removed mine, and my unit still works fine as usual. Hope this helps.

Just got this , thanks 🙏 do you get your clothes completely dried?
Hi Re lax. Yes they do. Just follow the recommended weights. Thanks for watching our video. Don't forget to like and subscribe. :)
@@scrubandcorn3157 subbed, thanks the dryer is great
Hi @@scrubandcorn3157 , what are recommended dryer weights? where do I find these please and how does this affect the dryer? Thanks so much.
Sorry, how bout the price? Cant find electrolux dealer that sell this model in Indonesia. The only option is the vented dryer
Hi Berlin. I can't find one neither. They generally sell vented dryers. I'm not sure about the washer dryer. Perhaps you could check with your local dealer if they can import one for you. Thanks for watching. Like and subscribe!
Hi, I just got this Electrolux ultimatecare 700. In the airflow slots (bottom right of the dryer, beside the heat exchanger cover), there are some black foam pads inside. Are they meant to be there? Do we need to remove them?
Hi Edmund. Thanks for watching our video. By the way, do you happen to know the product number? Not sure if your appliance is dryer combo or dryer only.
@@scrubandcorn3157 dryer only. EDC804CEWA. In your video, at the 2min 18s mark, at the right side of the screen, those black foam pads is what I am talking about. Are those supposed to be left there?
I see. They appear to be an insulator or protective layer to me. I didn't removed mine since intalled 2 years ago. They appear permanent and removing them might void your appliance warranty. Hope this helps.

@@scrubandcorn3157 many thanks :)
Does this dryer needs LPG to dry clothes and then come out as warm clothes?
Hi Kitchen with Yano. This appliance does not require an LPG to dry and warm clothes. They operate by blowing air over a heating coil into the drum.

How’s the dryer now ?
I’m looking at buying one this weekend.
Is it worth it ??
Hi RexyFan. The dryer is doing well since we got it last year. No issues so far.
Is it worth it? Yes for me.

Hey mate I got the same dryer n it stops mid way heaps n the clothes aren’t completely dry u know what I can do???
@@lachlann2036
Hi mate
Change the setting to extra dry and see how that goes.
Otherwise it has that manual mode where you can let it run for half hour on higher heat.
@@lachlann2036 This issue may occur if you air dry the laundry before putting in the dryer. I do this sometimes when the sun suddenly shows up. If this is the case, turn the knob on refresh. This will run for another 35mins and will remove excess moisture.
Another issue is that your dryness level is not on high setting. Hope this helps.
Cheers.
Trying to figure out the temperature of each setting but cant find anywhere
Hi @csweeney115. I don't think there is a manual setting that one. There is a dryness level touch button above the power that shows 3 different levels. Black icon for extra dry, half icon for cupboard dry, and white for iron dry. The appliance is sensor dryer, it will automatically stop or continue depending on the moisture. Otherwise, you can refer to section 8.3 of the user manual to adjust the levels depending on your water hardness result. Hope this helps.

@@scrubandcorn3157 thank you for that. I'm trying to figure out which is the lowest heat so I can dry linen sheets. Has to be in a low heat
is it normal if i need to press the button every 3 minutes.. bcse mine keep on stopping every 3 minutes
Hi Nur Farhanah. I looked at the user manual's trouble shooting. The operation will stop if:
1. The reservoir is full with water. Empty the reservoir and restart the cycle. Or, the hose sag is insufficient as per recommendations.
2. The load is too small or light.
In my experience, the cycle usually stops when I try to dry damp clothes. I'm refering to the clothes that are still damp after collecting from clothes line (air dry). If this is your case, you may select the refresh cycle.
Otherwise, contact your dealer if you think the appliance is deffective.

Can't get mine to dry what am doing wrong
Hi Casey. Apologies for the very late reply .Please check the dryness level. It could be at the lowest (led illuminating at the bottom). There are 3 options for this function from top to bottom - extra dry, cupboard dry, and iron dry. It is inevitable to have dampness particularly on beddings. You may select the function to refresh for another 35min cycle. If your have your settings correct and the clothes are not drying, contact your local dealer.

Great video. The instructions are poor and they way they installed it here (Israel) is just dumped it at our porch.
