Frigidaire front loaders [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Sorry to go even little further off of the beaten track.  But has anybody
seen a heat pump clothes dryer that you can buy today?  I heard of them for
years but have never seen one actually on the market.  I'd much rather add
to my PV system and reduce my dependence on propane.


Thanks

It is a bit off the beaten track, but I personally like and promote the
Staber "top loading" horizontal axis washer. This is the only unit I know of
specifically allowing mod-sine inverter use with full warranty etc (When
ordering they ask if it is grid or which inverter).  I ran mine on a DR1524
for years until I was done with 1000's of cloth diapers and got a gas dryer.
The 1/3 hp motor and glow bar combined with base loads and washer caused a
few too many nuisance trips and that was all it took for us to upgrade to
the outback.

Check it out carefully and be honest with your customers - It is not for
everyone, but neither is off grid living.  The spin cycle sounds like a jet
engine (but reduces drying time).   It is set up for factory supported
service/maint. rather than Mr. maytag coming to your door....  It is very
popular and I'm surprised it wasn't the first response to this post.  They
now have a "matching" dryer option, but I haven't looked too closely - I
shopped our dryer hard and chose one with moisture probes and a 1/3 HP
motor.
