GE WASHER DRYER COMBO DIY LINT FILTER FIX - STOP LINT BUILDUP ON GE ULTRAFAST PROFILE COMBO
The GE Profile Ultrafast Washer / Dryer 2-in-1 combo unit has a big design flaw that allows lint to bypass the lint filter and build up on the fins of the heat exchanger / compressor. Over time, the combo will fail to dry properly due to lint on the heat pump.
The lint filter top, rear, and bottom ridges do not make a good seal with the filter housing. There are airgaps along these sides of the filter, which enable lint to bypass the filter and get trapped along the heat pump fins.
My fix for this is to tape some rubber foam self-sticking weatherseal on the filter to close up those gaps. I am using foam that is 3/8 wide x 3/16 thick.
The adhesive has been holding up fairly well, so i'm not concerned about it peeling off.

It is definitely blocking a lot of the lint, compared to an un-modded filter.
I think GE should revise the filter housing design and ship out replacements to every combo owner. The current design is unacceptable and guarantees that the unit will fail long term.
There's a popular video by Ben's Appliances, where he apply silicone to the inside of the filter. I do not believe this addresses the main issue of the air gap.

DIY 3D PRINTED EASY GLIDE CURTAIN RING WITH MARBLE ROLLER BEARINGS
มุมมอง 1727 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here is my 3d printed curtain ring that uses marble bearings to reduce the friction. These rings are smoother to pull and rolls over those bumps in telescoping curtain rods easily. The marbles snap into these spherical channels in the ring. The marbles were bought from walmart at $3 for 50 so its pretty cheap to make. However, I found that the marble sizes arent consistent (15 /- 1mm) so some m...
DIY Arduino Morse Code Lantern from Parasite - Blinking Solar Powered Signal Beacon
มุมมอง 6613 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a solar powered light that is programmed to pulse a morse code message. It is inspired by the blinking lamp in the movie Parasite. The lantern is programmed to pulse multiple messages, such as "HOME" "NO FUTURE" "ASHES TO" (ashes to ashes to ashes...) and more. The phrase is selected randomly upon nightfall and repeats until morning or until the battery is depleted. This is made from an...
