The said combination washer dryer system (100) comprises of an electronic control panel (101), a venting unit (102), and a condensing unit (103).

I claim: 
     
         1 . A combination washer dryer system ( 100 ) comprising of:
 i. an electronic control panel ( 101 ),   ii. a venting unit ( 102 ) includes a fan motor ( 1 ), an impeller ( 2 ), a heating element ( 3 ), a heater housing ( 4 ), a washing drying drum ( 5 ), an exhaust vent ( 6 ) with a cover ( 7 ), and   iii. a condensing unit ( 103 ) includes a fan motor ( 1 ), an impeller ( 2 ), a heating element ( 3 ), a heater housing ( 4 ), a washing drying drum ( 5 ), a faucet ( 8 ), a cold-water valve ( 9 ), a condensing chamber ( 11 ), a drain pump ( 13 ), a drain hose ( 14 ), a stand pipe ( 15 ) and flow valve ( 16 ).   
     
     
         2 . The combination washer dryer system ( 100 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the said electronic control panel facilitates easy switching between the vented drying mode and the condensing drying mode and vice versa. 
     
     
         3 . The combination washer dryer system ( 100 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the said exhaust vent cover ( 7 ) of the said venting unit ( 102 ) is kept open during the vented drying mode. 
     
     
         4 . The combination washer dryer system ( 100 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the said exhaust vent cover ( 7 ) of the said venting unit ( 102 ) is manually closed with screws and metal plate to prevent the hot air exiting the said drum ( 5 ).
