[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It seems to work very well. I switched the door the other side and now it won't stay closed when I put towels in to dry. I'm sure it's just not adjusted correctly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m So Happy With This New Dryer , It Runs So Quiet And Has So Many Options To Choose From . It’s The Best Machine I’ve Ever Owned In My 69 Years . It’s Well Made And Will Provide Many Years Of Service I’m Sure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Doesn’t fully dry clothes in sensor mode. The only way I can get clothes to fully dry is to set to Time mode and dry for a long time on full heat. Sensor dry is highly ineffective.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, We value your time and would like to look into the concerns with your Dryer. Damp or wet clothes after a dry cycle usually indicate issues with airflow, cycle selection, or installation, often not a dryer malfunction. 1. Clean the Lint Screen: Mandatory: Clean the lint screen after every use. A clogged screen blocks airflow, extends drying time, wastes energy, and is a fire hazard. Wash the screen with soapy water if fabric softener residue builds up. 2. Check for AF/Check Vent Codes: Modern dryers signal venting restrictions with "AF" or "Check Vent" lights on some models. 3. Test Exterior Airflow: Run the dryer on heat for 5–10 minutes. Check the exterior exhaust hood. Assessment: Airflow should be strong (like a hair dryer on high). Action: Weak flow means a clogged vent line that requires thorough cleaning from the dryer to the exterior. 4. Clean the Home Venting Line: Long drying times with adequate heat strongly suggest a vent restriction. Maintenance: Clean the entire vent system every 1-2 years, or immediately if performance drops. Benefits: Reduces drying time and energy cost, increases airflow, and dramatically lowers the fire risk. Tools: Whirlpool Dryer Vent Testing Kit (Part #W11224254) for proactive assessment. Contact Whirlpool for order. Cycle Selection and Settings Improper settings frequently cause dampness. 1. Use Automatic Cycles: Always use automatic, sensor-based cycles (Normal, Heavy Duty) for efficiency. They shut off when dry. If Damp: Select a "More Dry" or "High Temperature" setting. Timed Cycles: Only use for small, single, or lightly damp items. Avoid overloading. 2. Avoid Steam Cycles for Drying: Steam cycles (Wrinkle Release, Steam Refresh) introduce moisture to relax wrinkles and remove odors from already dry clothes. They are not a primary drying method and can leave small, light loads feeling damp due to condensation. Is the Dryer Level? An unleveled dryer prevents clothes from consistently contacting the moisture sensors inside the drum, causing misreadings, premature shutoff, and damp clothes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought both the washer and dryer. We had them at our old house, so when we moved I required the same quality appliances.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased lg.whirlpool steam dryer which took three weeks for delivery. Used it for first load and waist bands of pajamas didn’t dry. We attempted a light spread and after 3 plus hours had to hang on a clothesline since it was saturated. There also is no user manual with product. Had to download manual, for the cost I feel a manual could have been included……we now have to wait 2 more weeks for a service technician!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I still use the steam function to refresh my clothes since it is one of the things I like most about the dryer. However, it has a design flaw as there is a seam in the bottom of the door gasket they should have put on top because I believe it wouldn't have leaked from there. (Of course I'm not an engineer) So, when I use steam I put a wash cloth on the floor below the door.
