A:AnswerThank you for reaching out, Carol J. We’re glad to help with this question. Regrettably, we do not recommend washing a queen-size comforter in this unit. It is recommended to wash a queen-size comforter in a 3.5 cubic ft. size washer. -Chris
A:AnswerYes, you can wash a twin size down blanket in this Electrolux washer, but keep these tips in mind:
The 2.4 cu. ft. capacity is considered compact, so make sure the blanket fits loosely inside the drum without being tightly packed.
Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water to protect the down filling.
Use a mild detergent designed for down or delicate fabrics.
It’s a good idea to run an extra rinse cycle to remove any detergent residue.
Dry the blanket thoroughly, ideally in a large-capacity dryer with dryer balls to help fluff the down.
If the blanket is very thick or bulky, you might want to consider professional cleaning or using a larger washer to avoid damaging the fabric or your machine. - Jessica
A:AnswerHi, Nutmeg! No, the Electrolux compact washer model ELFW4222AW does not come with the water supply hoses needed to run the machine; Electrolux states that hoses are not included with the washer purchase and must be bought separately. - Patrick
A:AnswerYou should allow at least 3–5″ of clearance between the washer and the wall to accommodate hoses, venting, and prevent kinks or damage.

A:AnswerThank you for reaching out to us. This model features a multi-use detergent dispenser, accommodating various detergent types, including liquid and powder, as well as fabric softeners. Regarding power connectivity, the matching Electrolux 4.0 Cu. Ft. Compact Front Load Dryer (model ELFE4222AW) includes a power pass-through feature. This design allows you to plug the washer into the dryer, requiring only one 240V outlet for both appliances. This setup is particularly beneficial for compact spaces or areas with limited electrical outlets. Additionally, the ELFE4222AW dryer is ventless, utilizing condensation drying technology. This means it doesn't require external venting, offering flexible installation options, especially in apartments or homes where venting is impractical. - Maria

A:AnswerHello, Mike! Thanks for reaching out and for your inquiry.

A:AnswerHello Goose,
Thank you for reaching out to us! Please know that Front-load washers, including the Electrolux 2.4 Cu. Ft. Stackable Front Load Washer, are energy-efficient and water-saving, but they can indeed be susceptible to mold and mildew buildup. Here are some steps you can take to prevent and address this issue:
Promptly Remove Laundry: Always remove your laundry promptly after the wash cycle completes. Leaving wet clothes in the washer can contribute to mold growth.
Use HE (High-Efficiency) Detergent: Opt for high-efficiency laundry detergent and use the recommended amount. Excessive detergent residue can lead to mold buildup.
Avoid Liquid Fabric Softeners: Liquid fabric softeners can leave a sticky residue that promotes mold growth. Consider using dryer sheets instead.
Regularly Clean the Glass and Gasket: The door gasket (seal) and glass area are common spots for mold and mildew. Regularly wipe them down with a disinfectant to prevent buildup.
Clean the Detergent Dispenser and Attachments Bi-Weekly: Mold and mildew tend to accumulate in the detergent dispenser. Remove the dispenser and clean it thoroughly. Also, pay attention to the slot where the dispenser sits, as it can harbor hidden mold.
Keep the Washer Door Open: When the washer is not in use, leave the door ajar. Allowing air circulation helps prevent moisture buildup and discourages mold growth.
Run a Dehumidifier in the Laundry Room: If possible, use a dehumidifier in the laundry area to maintain optimal humidity levels and reduce the chances of mold development.
Remember that prevention is key. By following these practices, you can keep your Electrolux front-load washer clean and mold-free. If you notice any signs of mold, address them promptly to maintain a hygienic washing environment!
