“Is there a Steam only cycle - steams the clothes and drys them, but doesn't wash them? If not, why? will you add via update? The best feature on your dryers is steam fresh - Why would you not have that on this machine since the water is already hooked up”

Hello, steam2. The dryer for the ENERGY STAR® Certified LG Ventless Washer/Dryer Combo LG WashCombo™ All-in-One 5.0 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity with Inverter HeatPump™ Technology and Direct Drive Motor, Model # WM6998HBA uses "Inverter HeatPump™ Technology". It does not have steam cycles as a result. Unlike a conventional electric or gas dryer that draws in cool air from your home and expels warm, moist air through a vent, a heat pump dryer circulates warm air within a self-contained system, eliminating the need for an exhaust vent. The dryer uses heat pump technology to extract moisture from your clothes. Rather than generating heat with a gas burner or electric coils, a heat pump moves thermal energy from one area to another using a refrigerant and a condenser—like an air conditioner in reverse. Heat pump clothes dryers deliver both ventless convenience and energy efficiency. The dryer warms cools, and condenses the same air within a self-contained system. Like an air-source heat pump, a heat pump dryer contains a closed loop of refrigerant lines and two sets of coils—an evaporator (cold) and a condenser (hot). Condenser coils heat the air sending hot, dry air through the drum. Warm, moist air exits the drum, and it passes over the evaporator coils to cool the air and extract the moisture. The moisture drains away. The cycle begins again with the condenser coils heating the air sending hot, dry air through the drum, repeating the process...^Ivan
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Steam is available in the wash cycle only. Since the unit has the capability, maybe they will add to the dryer settings in the future.
