Its called a Belleville spring/washer and it works by pressure. The washer is curved and when the nut is tightened down against it, the washer flattens out.

Washer Dryer Combo?

At last. A 2 in 1 washer and dryer combined. The washer turns into a dryer! No need to transfer clothes from washer to dryer. GE claims to complete a full cycle in 2 hours. There is no need to vent the dryer. The moisture from the clothes goes down the drain instead of an exhaust hose. A 2 in 1 washer/dryer is not new technology. The idea has been around for years but never sold. It wasn’t practical to own one. They didn’t wash or dry very well and a load would take 5 or more hours. These units were popular in Europe because space was very important. This is the first “practical“ 2 in 1 combo that really works well GE claims.
