Facilitating the compliant implementation of high-end washer-dryer combos in the North American market

When a well-known brand's high-end washer dryer combo becomes a global phenomenon thanks to its convenient experience, becoming a "quality choice" for families, the robust support from its supply chain is indispensable. Guangdong Zhengfeng Wire&Cable, with its complete UL certification system (certification number E522608), participated in the entire process of R&D, prototyping, and testing of this brand's washer dryer combo, providing customized wiring solutions to help the product launch smoothly.

I. Project Background: Core Demands of High-End Home Appliances

Before the launch of the new washer dryer combo project for this well-known brand, three key points were focused on in terms of wiring procurement:

• Compliance Bottom Line: The product must fully comply with North American UL safety standards, and the internal wiring must pass UL758 and UL1581 standards.
• Scenario-Specific Adaptation: Due to the significant differences in the operating conditions of core components such as heating elements, motors, and control circuits within the washer dryer combo (high temperature, high power, signal transmission, etc.), suppliers need to provide targeted wiring solutions.
• End-to-end collaboration: Deep involvement of supply chain partners is required during the R&D phase to assist in prototyping, performance testing, and compatibility debugging, ensuring a seamless fit between the wires and product design and guaranteeing the product launch cycle.

As a seasoned supplier in the home appliance cable industry, Guangdong Zhengfeng Wire&Cable, with its comprehensive UL certification and extensive experience in home appliance components, has become a strategic partner of this brand.

II. Core Solution: Customized R&D Driven by UL Certification (E522608)
Guangdong Zhengfeng Wire&Cable, leveraging its familiarity with UL standards and UL certification advantages, and combining the characteristics of core components in washer-dryer combos, has conducted precise R&D and adaptation:

1. Certification First: UL Compliance Guarantee Covering All Scenarios

Zhengfeng Wire&Cable's UL certification number E522608 covers the certification models required by customers:

• Heating Element Dedicated Cable: UL1569 (PVC insulation, temperature resistance 105℃, voltage 300V) is selected as the mainstream configuration. The tinned copper stranded wire structure combines flexibility and resistance to thermal expansion and contraction, passing the UL VW-1 vertical flame retardant test, perfectly adapting to high-temperature components such as heating tubes and drying air ducts; high-end heat pump models are equipped with UL1332 (FEP Teflon insulation, temperature resistance 200℃), resistant to extreme temperature fluctuations and chemical corrosion, meeting the needs of complex working conditions;
• Motor and Control Circuit Cables: For components such as variable frequency motors and water level sensors, [the following is provided]... UL1007 (PVC insulation, temperature resistance 80℃, voltage 300V), 18-22AWG specifications precisely match low-current signal transmission, and flame retardant performance meets standards; high-power drain pumps are compatible with UL1015 (temperature resistance 105℃, voltage 600V), with a thickened insulation layer to resist voltage surges;

2. Full-process collaboration: Deep cooperation from R&D to prototyping

To ensure a high degree of fit between the wires and product design, Zhengfeng Cables has assembled a dedicated technical team to follow up on the cooperation throughout the entire process:

R&D intervention: Holding multiple technical meetings with the brand's R&D department to optimize the wire diameter and insulation material based on the power parameters, structural layout, and operating environment of the washer-dryer combo, providing customized solutions for selection;

Rapid prototyping and testing: Completing the first batch of sample production within 72 hours of receiving the confirmed solution. All samples come with a UL certification (E522608) traceability mark, and the team works with the brand to complete multi-dimensional tests including temperature resistance, flame retardancy, and electrical performance.

Batch Testing and Verification: During the small-batch trial production phase, we collaborated with the brand to complete simulated usage scenario tests, ensuring zero faults and zero hidden dangers in the wiring during overall machine operation.

III. Project Outcomes: Compliant Launch, Win-Win Situation
Through the efforts of all parties, the brand's washer-dryer combo successfully entered the market and gained consumer favor. Guangdong Zhengfeng Wire&Cable, leveraging its rapid R&D response, product quality stability, and UL certification advantages, became a long-term supplier for the brand's washer-dryer combo series. Subsequent new models are already under simultaneous development.

IV. Zhengfeng's Advantages: UL Certification System for Home Appliance Cable Solutions
Guangdong Zhengfeng Wire$Cable's UL certification number E522608 covers over 90% of application scenarios in the home appliance industry, eliminating the need for additional certification cycles and efficiently empowering high-end home appliance brands.
