clothes dryer

also called dryer · tumble dryer

A laundry appliance that removes moisture from washed textiles by tumbling them through heated air, then expelling or condensing the resulting humidity. Beyond the kg load capacity any laundry appliance states, it answers by what technology it dries (vented, condenser, heat pump or gas) and which drying programs it runs. Covers vented, condenser and heat-pump tumble dryers, freestanding or stackable. Distinct from a washing machine (which wets and spin-extracts and never applies a drying technology) — a sibling laundry kind; the combined washer-dryer is a deferred kind (DEFERRED D1, the mixin case). It states no spin speed and consumes no water, which is why those washer slots never lifted to the shared parent.
