Abstract

A washer-drier has a closed warm air circuit (2) in which a fan (6), a heating device (8), a drum (9) for the accommodation of the washing and a heat exchanger (11) with condensed water container (15) are arranged in sequence and a fan for the generation of a cold air stream (3) over the heat exchanger for the dehumidifying of the warm air. The heating device is a warm side (7) of at least one Peltier element and a cold side (14) of the Peltier element(s) is arranged in the cold air stream. A closed cold air circuit is provided. The heat exchanger is a contra-flow heat exchanger.
