Frigidaire 27" Laundry Unit FLCE752CAW3

Design and Configuration:

• Unitized Structure: This appliance is a single, vertically integrated unit, with the washing machine located at the bottom and the dryer positioned directly above it. This vertical arrangement is its primary space-saving characteristic.

• Dimensions (Approximate):

  • Width: 27 inches (68.58 cm)

  • Height: Typically ranges from 75 to 76 inches (approximately 190.5 - 193.04 cm)

  • Depth (closed, excluding handle): Around 31.5 inches (80.01 cm)

  • Depth with door open 90°: Approximately 49 1/4 inches (125.09 cm)

• Color: Most commonly available in a white finish.

• Controls: The controls for both the washer and dryer functions are usually situated on a central panel positioned between the two units, or sometimes on the upper section of the dryer, for easy accessibility. These typically involve rotary knobs and push buttons.

• Washer Type: The bottom unit is a top-load washer, meaning the wash drum opens from the top.

• Dryer Type: The top unit is a vented electric dryer, which necessitates an external exhaust vent to expel moist air.

Washer Features (Bottom Unit):

• Capacity: It offers a significant capacity, often rated around 4.5 cubic feet (IEC) or 3.9 cubic feet (DOE), allowing it to handle substantial laundry loads, including items like king-sized quilts.

• Agitator: The wash drum features a central agitator, a traditional mechanism that uses mechanical action to clean clothes.

• MaxFill™ Option: This feature allows users to select the maximum possible water level for the chosen wash cycle, which can provide a deeper clean for heavily soiled garments.

• Wash Cycles: It typically provides 10 wash cycles, which may include options such as Normal, Heavy Duty, Delicate, Activewear, Bulky, Fast Wash, Light, Soak, and Rinse & Spin.

• Spin Speed: The washer generally operates at a maximum spin speed of 850 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute), which helps to extract a good amount of water from clothes, thereby reducing the subsequent drying time.

• Tub Material: The interior of the washer drum is typically made of durable stainless steel, which is gentle on fabrics and resists rust.

• Temperature Settings: Offers standard temperature selections, usually Hot, Warm, and Cold/Cold.

• Balance System: Designed with a system to help balance loads and reduce vibration during the spin cycle.

Dryer Features (Top Unit):

• Capacity: It provides a dryer capacity of 5.6 cubic feet, engineered to efficiently dry the loads handled by the washer.

• Drying Cycles: Generally includes 6 to 10 dry cycles, such as Normal, Heavy Duty, Delicate, Bulky, Air Fluff (no heat), and various Timed Dry options (e.g., 15, 30, 60, 90 minutes).

• Timed Dry: This allows users to set a specific duration for the drying cycle.

• Temperature Settings: Offers multiple temperature selections for drying, typically High, Normal, and Low.

• Quiet Pack: Incorporates sound-dampening technology designed to reduce operational noise.

• End-of-Cycle Signal: A clear signal typically sounds to indicate when the drying cycle has finished.

• Lint Filter: Includes a standard, easily accessible lint filter for regular cleaning.

• Drum Material: The dryer drum is usually made of painted steel.

Overall Performance and Common User Experience:

• Space-Saving: Its most significant benefit is its compact, vertical footprint, making it highly effective for maximizing space.

• Capacity: The washer's capacity is generally well-regarded for a unitized model, allowing for larger loads than many compact standalone units.

• Cleaning Performance: The washer generally delivers satisfactory cleaning results.

• Drying Effectiveness: The dryer is typically effective at drying clothes.

• Energy Efficiency: This Frigidaire unit is usually ENERGY STAR® Certified, meaning it meets specific government guidelines for energy efficiency, which can contribute to lower utility bills.
