The plug that we use for our machines is a standard one that can be used across Canada and the United States.  It contains four prongs and to the left prong is 120 volts the right prong is another hundred twenty volt switch a total of 240 volts.  The top prong has a "L" shape to it which is "common" which is white wire.  Opposite from that at the bottom you will see is the ground which is green.

If you have any doubts whether or not your dryer is a gas or electric sending us a picture of the plug text message to 647-931-1829.

​Unfortunately there are situations old electrical standards have 3 prong dryer cords that do not have a green ground wire.   The solution is simple you must change your 3 prong dryer cord to a 4 prong dryer cord.  Four prong dryer cords can be purchase from Home Depot or Lowes.  Make sure that the L-shaped prong is closest to the ceiling and the ground is located at the bottom which is closer to the floor. Watch the 3 to 4 prong dryer conversion video 

Piano Hinge

Located on the left hand side of the steel box are the 2 inch piano hinges.  Our customers can be confident that the money inside the box is secure.   Piano hinges provide safety and security of coin.  Thieves are not able to pry open the box because the piano hinge provides no method of prying it open.  Leaving your investment safe and secure.

Other coin converter boxes on the market use a steel pin with a top hinge.  This pin can be easily remove and as a result the front door of the box can be removed, allowing for easy access to money inside. 

Optional Key Lock

Pay Box Timer box has a optional key and pad lock.  The key locks are tramper resistant.  If added security customer can purchase an additional padlock we is located on the right side of the machine.  The padlock slot is built with 15 gauge steel and is heat treated.

Optional PadLock

Pay Box Timer boxes have a a built in padlock hole.  For added security a pad lock can be installed on the right side of the machine.  The padlock installation hole is constructed from 14 gauge steel and is heat treated to ensure higher level of security.

Electrical Wire Adjustable Hole Covers

The purpose of these metal stoppers is to prevent the input electrical cords from being pulled out of the pay box timer enclosure.  Two to prevent coins from falling out of the machine.  Three preventing people from accessing the internal parts of the machine by creating a safety barrier.  The metal stoppers can be adjusted in away that all gaps and spaces are eliminated.  Stoppers are designed with slotted openings on either side, which provides adjustment ability for a range of wire diameter sizes.  There are four metal studs at the bottom of the enclosure, to which metal stoppers can be attached

Bottom Enclosure Bolts

Setup our machines and efficiently we have provided 4 stainless steel bolts.  These bolts are used to close the electrical wire openings at the bottom of the box.  Wire sizes can range widely for both washer and dryers from 15 millimeter up to 25 millimeters in size.  There is no need for customers to obtain extra tools in order to install lower steel plates.  Simply fasten to the existing steel metal studs located at the bottom of the metal enclosure.  ​

Hanger Hole for Easy Mounting

For easy installation of our coin-operated boxes. We have design hanger holes located at the back of the box.  The customer locates a wooden stud and fastens 3 inch metal screws. The first screw's head is left raised approximately 10 millimeters above the wall surface.  The customer aligns hanger hole with the screw and hangs metal enclosure.  Once the metal enclosure is hanging on the wall, the remaining screws can be used to securely fast the rest of the metal enclosure.  All the mounting holes are  accessed from the inside of the metal box, hence prevent any unauthorized removal of the box.

Coin Retrieval Slot Cut Out

When emptying the money in the coin box we recommend placing the large bucket underneath the box before opening.  Once the front do is opened coin will fall out into the bucket.   The remaining coins can be slid out of the bottom of the box.   To aid in the emptying of the last few coins sitting at the box we have provide a coin retrieval cutout.

You'll learn about the benefits of these features and how to choose the right laundry system for your needs.

Understanding the Laundry Combination Washer Dryer Converter Box

The laundry combination washer dryer with converter box is an all-in-one unit designed to make doing laundry more convenient. The converter box allows the machine to work with different electricity sources, and it saves space in your laundry room or apartment.

Doing laundry can be a daunting task, especially when you have to consider the compatibility of your washer dryer combination unit with the electricity source in your home. With a laundry combination washer dryer converter box, you can say goodbye to that worry and focus on getting your laundry done efficiently and effectively.

How the Converter Box Works

The laundry combination washer dryer converter box is designed to work with different outlet configurations, voltage levels, and frequencies. The box plugs into the wall, and the washer dryer combination unit plugs into the box. The box then manages the power supply and voltage levels to ensure the machine works correctly.

The converter box is equipped with advanced technology that allows it to adjust the voltage and frequency of the electricity source to match the requirements of your washer dryer combination unit. This ensures that your laundry is washed and dried properly, without any damage to the machine or your clothes.

Benefits of Using a Converter Box

The biggest benefit of using a converter box is that it allows you to use a laundry system in any home without needing to worry about electricity source compatibility. Whether you're moving to a new home or traveling to a different country, you can take your laundry combination washer dryer with you and use it with ease.

Another benefit of using a converter box is that it saves space in your laundry room or apartment. Instead of having separate machines for washing and drying your clothes, you can have an all-in-one unit that does both. This not only saves space but also saves you time and energy.

The converter box is also compact, easy to install, and affordable. You don't need any special tools or skills to install it, and it can be done in a matter of minutes. Plus, it's a cost-effective solution for those who don't want to invest in separate machines for washing and drying.

Choosing the Right Converter Box for Your Needs

There are many different types of converter boxes available on the market, and some may be better suited to your needs than others.

It's important to do your research and determine which converter box is right for you. Look for a converter box that is compatible with your washer dryer combination unit and the electricity source in your home. You may also want to consider the size, weight, and portability of the converter box if you plan on traveling with it.

Overall, a laundry combination washer dryer converter box is a must-have for anyone who wants to simplify their laundry routine and ensure that their machines work properly. With its advanced technology, space-saving design, and affordability, it's a smart investment for any home.

Exploring the Dual Timer Feature

The dual timer feature is an innovative feature of laundry combination washer dryer units that allows you to manage the washer and dryer individually, so you can better control the laundry process. It is a great feature for those who want to save time and money while doing laundry.

With the dual timer feature, you can program each cycle independently, so you can use the washer and dryer at different times if needed. This feature can help save time and money as you can prepare the next load while the previous one is drying.

In addition to saving time and money, the dual timer feature also allows you to customize your laundry process. You can adjust the settings for each unit independently, so you can choose the best cycle for your clothes. Some models have preprogrammed settings, but you can also customize your own settings for each cycle.

Advantages of Dual Timer Functionality

The advantages of the dual timer functionality are many. First, it allows you to save time and money by using the washer and dryer at different times. Second, it allows you to customize your laundry process, so you can choose the best cycle for your clothes. Third, it helps you manage your time better by allowing you to prepare the next load while the previous one is drying.

Setting Up and Using the Dual Timer

Setting up and using the dual timer feature is easy. The controls for the washer and dryer are separate, so you can adjust the settings for each unit independently. To set up the dual timer, simply select the cycle you want for each unit and set the timer accordingly. Some models have preprogrammed settings, but you can also customize your own settings for each cycle.

Using the dual timer feature is also easy. Simply select the cycle you want for each unit and set the timer accordingly. You can also customize your own settings for each cycle if you prefer.

Troubleshooting Common Dual Timer Issues

If you experience issues with the dual timer, such as the dryer not starting or the washer not draining, it could be due to a malfunctioning converter box. You should also check the power supply to ensure that the outlet is working correctly. If you are still experiencing issues, you may need to contact a professional for assistance.

In conclusion, the dual timer feature is an excellent feature of laundry combination washer dryer units that allows you to manage the washer and dryer individually, so you can better control the laundry process. It is easy to set up and use and can help you save time and money while doing laundry. If you experience any issues with the dual timer, be sure to troubleshoot the issue and contact a professional if necessary.

Navigating Credit Card and Coin Payment Options

Doing laundry is a necessary chore, but it doesn't have to be a hassle. One feature that is becoming increasingly popular among laundry systems is the payment option. This feature allows you to pay for your laundry using either a credit card or coins, making the process more convenient for users.

When it comes to payment options, there are pros and cons to both credit card and coin payments. It's important to consider these factors when choosing which option to offer to your customers.

Pros and Cons of Credit Card Payments

The biggest advantage of credit card payments is convenience. You don't need to worry about having the correct change or finding a nearby ATM. With credit card payments, you can simply swipe your card and be on your way. However, credit card payments can be more expensive than coins due to service fees charged by the payment processing company. Additionally, not all laundry systems accept credit cards, so it's important to check with the manufacturer or dealer before making a decision.

How to Set Up Credit Card Payments

If you decide to offer credit card payments, you'll need to contact the manufacturer of your laundry system or an authorized dealer. They can provide you with a payment terminal that connects to your machine and allows you to accept credit card payments. The process of setting up credit card payments may take some time, but it can be worth it for the convenience it offers to your customers.

Managing Coin-Operated Laundry Machines

Coin-operated laundry systems are still popular, and they offer many advantages over credit card payments. Coins are cheaper to process and do not require an internet connection, making them more reliable. With coin-operated machines, you can manage them by collecting the coins and periodically refilling the machine with coins. This process is simple and straightforward, making it a popular choice for many laundry system owners.

Ensuring Security and Preventing Fraud

With both payment options, it's important to ensure security and prevent fraud. You can prevent fraud by using secure payment terminals and by monitoring your machines' usage. It's also important to ensure that your machines are located in a secure area to prevent theft or vandalism. By taking these steps, you can ensure that your laundry system is safe and secure for your customers.

In conclusion, both credit card and coin payment options have their advantages and disadvantages. It's important to consider your customers' needs and preferences when choosing which option to offer. By offering a variety of payment options and ensuring the security of your machines, you can create a convenient and reliable laundry system for your customers.

Embracing Coinless and Prepaid Code Systems

In addition to credit cards and coins, some laundry systems allow you to use prepaid codes. A coinless system is a prepaid code system that allows you to add funds to your account using a prepaid code card.

The Rise of Coinless Laundry Solutions

Coinless laundry systems are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and ease of use. The prepaid code card can be purchased online, at authorized dealers, or directly from the manufacturer.

Implementing a Prepaid Code System

To implement a prepaid code system, you'll need to purchase prepaid code cards and a card reader. You can then add funds to the account associated with the card, and the user can easily pay for laundry using the card reader. A benefit of prepaid codes is that they can be used for more than just laundry, so you can market them to a wider audience.

Benefits of Prepaid Codes for Customers and Business Owners

Prepaid codes offer many benefits for both customers and business owners. Customers can easily pay for laundry without worrying about change or having to use their credit card. Business owners can benefit from the ability to set pricing and manage laundry usage remotely. Additionally, prepaid codes can offer a steady revenue stream for laundry businesses.

Conclusion

Laundry combination washer dryer units have come a long way since their inception, and they now offer a range of features that make doing laundry more convenient and affordable. The dual timer feature, converter box, and various payment options like credit cards, coins, and prepaid codes all offer unique benefits. Be sure to consider your needs and choose a laundry system that best meets them. With the right system, laundry day can be hassle-free and even enjoyable.

Preparing for Installation

Installing a converter box for your washer and dryer can be a great way to save space and improve efficiency. However, before you begin the installation process, there are a few important steps to take to ensure that your converter box is installed correctly and safely.

Choosing the Right Location

When choosing the location for your converter box, it's important to consider a few key factors. First, you'll need to have enough space to mount the box, which should be located near a water supply and drainage. This will ensure that your washer and dryer can be connected to the converter box easily and efficiently. Additionally, it's best to choose a location where you'll have access to an electrical outlet, as this will be necessary to power the box.

Checking Electrical Requirements

Before you begin the installation process, it's important to ensure that the location you've chosen has the appropriate electrical requirements for your converter box. Different boxes may require different types of outlets, so it's important to read the manufacturer's instructions carefully. If you're not familiar with electrical work, you may want to consider hiring an electrician to assist you with the installation. This will ensure that the box is installed safely and correctly, and will help to prevent any potential electrical hazards.

By taking these steps to prepare for your converter box installation, you can ensure that your washer and dryer setup is safe, efficient, and effective. Whether you're looking to save space, reduce energy costs, or simply improve the functionality of your laundry room, a converter box can be a great investment.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Once you have marked the holes, drill them out and insert the anchors.

Next, line up the converter box with the brackets and secure it in place using screws. Make sure that the box is level and flush with the wall. This will ensure that it looks neat and tidy once the installation is complete.

Connecting the Washer and Dryer

Once the converter box is securely mounted, it's time to connect your washer and dryer. This is a crucial step in the installation process, so take your time and follow the instructions carefully.

Start by selecting the washing cycle and setting the timer for the desired amount of time. Next, select the drying cycle and set the timer for the desired amount of time. You can select different settings for each cycle, depending on your preference.

Once you have set the timer, test it to make sure that it is working correctly. This will ensure that you don't encounter any problems when you start using your new converter box.

Securing the Connections

After completing the installation, it's important to ensure that all the connections are properly secured. This will prevent any loose wires or connections from causing problems in the future.

Inspect the converter box and the electrical connections to make sure that everything is in place. Use electrical tape to secure any loose wires or connections. This will ensure that your new converter box is safe and secure for years to come.

Conclusion
