Is there a separate water line for the steam feature? Can I skip the steam option and not hook it up? This is for a 30 year old vacation condo and we don't need a steam washer/dryer. We don't even have an iron or a hair brush at the beach!

Thanks. null

A "Y" adapter is provided so the cold water supply can feed both the washer and the dryer. The only other item needed to connect water to the dryer is a hose. Hose kits are available for situations with steam dryers.

I don't know if not connecting the water supply to the dryer would cause a problem or not; or if it might impact the warranty.

So many dryers have steam now, I'd say it would be a shame to decide to limit your choices to non-steam dryers when all it takes is one additional hose to connect it as designed, even if you never use the steam feature.

Yes, a separate cold water supply is required for the steam function. If you do not want to use this feature, simply do not connect the line. ^Daphane
