Abstract

A domestic laundry washer-dryer machine in which the closed drying circuit comprises an air/air heat exchanger (14), which is readily removable for inspection, and a self-cleaning filter (13) for trapping fluff, which filter is readily removable and is cleaned automatically, in a washing machine programme, with rinsing water in the course of a washing operation or also with the water of condensation itself at the end of a drying operation, with substantial savings in the consumption of water and optional recovery of the drying heat from the surroundings.
