Not every washing machine can fully dry clothes, but many machines can remove a lot of water and make clothes much easier to dry, and many people don’t realize this feature exists.
1. The Spin Cycle (what most people don’t realize) 🌀
Almost all washing machines have a high-speed spin cycle. After washing, the drum spins very fast to force water out of the fabric.
- It can remove 50–70% of the water from clothes.
- Clothes come out damp instead of soaking wet.
- Drying time on a rack or line becomes much shorter.
Some machines even allow you to run “Spin Only” to remove extra water.
2. Washer-Dryer Combo Machines
Some machines actually wash and dry in the same unit. These are called washer-dryer combos and they use heated air to dry clothes.
Examples include machines made by companies like:
- LG
- Samsung
- Bosch
But this feature only exists in specific models, not all washing machines.
3. Extra Spin Trick (Useful Tip)
If clothes still feel very wet after washing:
- Leave them in the machine.
- Select Spin or Drain & Spin.
- Run it again.
This can remove a surprising amount of extra water and speed up air drying.
✅ Summary:
- All washing machines spin water out (partial drying).
- Only washer-dryer combo machines can fully dry clothes with heat.
