The DEGX2 is the second SmartLoad electric dryer, and the thing that catches people out about the whole SmartLoad family is that it is loaded from the top like the washer it was designed to sit beside. That layout means the lint is collected in a bucket rather than a screen clipped to a front door, and a bucket that has not been pushed fully home is a genuinely common cause of lint finding its way into the duct and choking airflow.
Key Features
- SmartLoad top-loading drum, loaded through a lid rather than a front door
