I recently moved into a condo that included a stacked washer\/dryer combo. The dryer has one of those “lint catchers” that you fill with water and is supposed to catch lint and reduce humidity. For the first month or two I was not aware that I had to fill this with water and used a make shift screen to keep the lint in the box as I had never seen one of these contraptions before.

Are there dryers that are self ventilating? I fee like all high-end condos with washer\/dryer units that do not vent outside are slowly giving themselves a world of mold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
