> Subject: [RFI] RFI from Electrolux Front Loading Dryer
> 
> We recently acquired a front loading Exectrolux washer and dryer pair.? The
> dryer puts out strong RFI all the time.? The only way to quiet it is to
> disconnect it from the power circuit.? The noise sounds like steady power
> line noise and radiates strongly from the power wiring throughout the
> house.? The noise extends into the VHF range.? 
> 
> ?
> I contacted Electrolux.? Their response was that they had never heard of
> that problem.? They only suggested I try grounding the cabinet.? That is not
> practical.? The laundry room is in an inner room of the basement and has PVC
> pipes.? Any ground connection I could produce would be so long that it would
> be ineffective for RFI.? 
> 
> ?
> The washer puts out a different kind of RFI.? It seems to come from the
> control circuits and motor drives.? Unlike the noise from the dryer, this
> RFI is only present when the machine is in use.? Also, its amplitude is much
> lower.

> Suggestions?
