7 Combo Washer-Dryer Owner’s Manual
HELPFUL HINTS
Your Washer-Dryer spins at a high speed of 900 rpm, which will extract more water especially from
absorbent fabrics and reduce the degree of dampness as the machine goes into the drying mode.
This will cut down on your drying time.
Use Liquid Fabric Softener. Fill the softener compartment up to the level marked. Using fabric
softener fluffs out clothes immediately after the wash cycle. This helps speed drying time and
reduces wrinkles.
This Washer-Dryer is a 110 Volt machine, so the heating element requires more time to achieve full
heat than a larger 220-volt unit requires. The heating element will take about 10 minutes to reach full
heat.
To dry your laundry, the Washer-Dryer blows heated air into the rotating drum. As the drum tumbles
your laundry, the warm air-dries it. If the drum is overfilled with laundry, the air is not allowed to
circulate and clothes will not dry properly.
Use High Efficiency (HE) Detergent. This is recommended for all front-loading washers. It ensures
there is no over sudsing, which may reduce the performance of your machine. Also, this prevents
damage to your machine which may be caused by excess suds entering the condensing chamber
[MJ9950 only] and clogging the fan blower mechanism [MJ9950 & MJ9050V] with lint. If you have
any problem obtaining High Efficiency (HE) detergent, please order Majestic high efficiency detergent
available online at www.majesticappliances.com.
When sorting laundry always take into consideration the quantity and type of fabric contained in the
load. Highly absorbent fabrics such as those used in towels or jeans will absorb more water and
become very heavy when saturated. If you notice that your clothes are taking longer than usual to dry
you may be overloading the machine, or washing too many highly absorbent articles for a single load.
DRYER EFFICIENCY
Your Washer-Dryer operates on 120 volts and has a 900-watt heating. It will take a longer time to
dry clothes than a traditional dryer (which operates on 220 volts, 5,000 watts). However, with the
following tips, you can increase the efficiency of the dryer.
1. FABRIC SOFTENER: After the wash cycle, the clothes can get stuck to the sides of the drum.
USING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER WILL CAUSE THE CLOTHES TO UNSTICK IMMEDIATELY
AND TUMBLE IN THE DRY CYCLE. THIS HELPS DRY CLOTHES FASTER AND CAUSES LESS
WRINKLES.
2. OVERLOADING: The drum has a capacity of 14 lbs (1.90 cu. ft.) While this unit has one of the
largest drums available on any combination washer-dryer, it is smaller than a standard U.S. washer.
The MJ9950 and MJ9050V drum should not be overloaded. With too many clothes, airflow is
reduced, increasing drying time. The drum should be filled to a maximum 2/3
rd
full.
3. OVER DRYING: [MJ9950] uses a condensing dryer. In this cold water is used to condense the
moisture from the hot air. Since there is no external exhaust system, the moisture remains in the
machine. Frequently, when it seems the clothes are damp, it is actually the remaining moisture (like
dew). Take clothes out and within a few minutes they will be dry. Do not over-dry the clothes.
4. USE HIGH EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT: By using High Efficiency (HE) detergent (Majestic
brand or any other), you are preventing suds from entering the condensing chamber [MJ9950]. When
suds enter the condensing chamber, lint particles can clog up the chamber and the fan blower
[MJ9950/MJ9050V]. Over time, this reduces drying efficiency and may require the fan blower
(impeller) to be cleaned. For this and all other front-loading/horizontal-axis units, High Efficiency
(HE) detergents go a long way to improve the efficiency of the units.
