Q: What size dryer do I need to handle a full load from a 5.2 cu ft washer?

A: I bought the 7.3 CU FT dryer and it fits a full load from a 5.2 CU FT washer just fine.

Q: Water source for steam feature

A: Your inquiry is appreciated. The 7.3 cu.ft. Ultra Large High Efficiency SteamDryer™ w/ SteamSanitary™ has a Steam Feeder that must be manually filled with water up to the MAX line before the Steam Feature can be used. Distilled water cannot be used because the water level sensor in the steam generator will not work. The Steam Feeder should not be filled with foreign substances, rinse agents, or detergents!...IFV

Q: Does it handle heavy duty drying needs?

A: Yes, this dryer is heavy duty and the drum is huge. There are numerous setting for all different drying situations.

Q: How much depth space is needed for this dryer?

A: The specifications say the product depth is 28 3/8". To that you will have to add the depth of the dryer vent, if it is venting from the back and the dryer vent is protruding from the wall. You may want to check your current laundry configuration. In my case I had to allow for an extra 4" in the back for the vent.

Q: Can I Turn the Light On during the operation to watch?

A: Yes.. you must hold down the "Wrinkle Prevent" button down for approx. 3 seconds while the dryer is in it cycle.

Q: Has anyone had trouble with snagging?

A: Yes! We have a DLEX9000V that we bought approximately a year ago. It has literally destroyed our good blouses. At first we thought that it was the zipper on another shirt, but even after removing that shirt, it was still snagging runs in everything. Yesterday I leaned down into the drum to look around and as I did, my hand was poked on something sharp. I ran my hand around the drum and there are actually burrs all over in it. Just to make sure I wasn't crazy,, I asked my daughter to check it....and she instantly caught a sharp metal burr that ripped her skin. Together, we've probably had about $500 worth of clothing completely destroyed. Tomorrow we'll be calling customer service for sure.
