Negative 10. Horrible!
on October 29, 2025
Posted by: Marronem
from Jersey
If I could give it a negative 10 I would. Probably worse than my older dryer I bought to replace. It says clean both filters every 2 cycles. (Not just the lint filter, that’s every cycle obviously). Every cool down it makes a terrible noise. It sucks it’s sucks it sucks
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible Dryer!
on April 15, 2025
Posted by: KD13
Horrible dryer!! Does not even do anything, repeatedly tried to contact a REAL person at whirlpool and get no where! Everytime we try to turn it on, It goes through weird modes, and gets stuck on buttons and won't change and then we can't even push the start button. If we do get to, it starts for like 30 seconds and then pauses itself. We have to restart the dryer 200 times for one tiny load!! Piece of junk. Do NOT BUY this!!!

Important Tips for Using This Dryer
on February 16, 2025
Posted by: Noah
from Colorado
Since it doesn't seem to say these things literally anywhere in the user manual, I'm going to provide this information as I learned it through trial and error:
Pay attention to the three red indicators in the middle of the control panel near the control knob. The top indicator with the water droplet means you need to empty the water tank (the panel on the top left). If your water tank is full, the dryer will automatically shut off after 5 or so minutes.
The other two indicators refer to the lint trap and filter (inside the drum and bottom left panel, respectively). I haven't figured out which one is which, so I just check them both whenever I see one of the indicators light up.
I don't even bother with any of the programming options. I do a timed dry every time. You have to turn the knob so that the "timed dry" setting is indicated, then press the "timed dry" option on the right side of the options ribbon at the bottom to set the time. For half a drum full of clothes, or for things like towels, I will usually dry for 3 hours and then check. Depending on the material or other things like ambient humidity, I might need to add another 30 mins or so.
I only wash my own laundry in this unit, so I can usually go through 3-5 days worth of clothes and get them all dry in one night. I don't recommend drying pillows, comforters, or anything particularly bulky in this dryer - I have never gotten it to dry any of those items completely.
This is not a good dryer by any stretch of the imagination, but ventless dryers typically suck and take forever to dry. I guess they're supposedly energy efficient. I can't really see how an appliance running for 3-5 hours 2-3 times a week will positively impact my electric bill, but I suppose that will become evident when my next bill comes in.
It dries my clothes (eventually) and that's the only endorsement I can really give it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unreliable dryer
on December 2, 2024
Posted by: Sean
from Toronto
Purchased the washer and dryer stack set with the condo we bought and the dryer brokedown only after 1 year 10 months of use. Of course, after the the 1 year warranty expired. Would not purchase this dryer from Whirlpool if I were you! 2 error codes, under 2 years use. Ridiculous!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Avoid!!!
on August 27, 2024
Posted by: Bella
The dryer was brand new when I moved in my home 3+ years ago. It barely worked for a year an has not worked since. Does not dry anything. Ventless mechanism does not help. No repair person could figure out how to fix it and frankly, it's been a pain. The matching washing machine has been on the fritz too (almost flooded my space). Please avoid this set. It is expensive to replace and costs even more to repair and the bad thing is, even after spending the money, it won't work. I thought I was the only one who was experiencing this. I've had other Whirlpool products that lasted decades so I know this brand can do better. This product should be recalled and replaced with something that not only works but that won't create serious problems because of a faulty appliance. From my experience I'd rate this a dud. Worse dryer and set in Whirlpool history.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hard to believe how bad it Is
on June 6, 2024
Posted by: Peacock
No model number on it, hard to look up.
The settings get stuck and are a mystery.
The settings get stuck and are a mystery.
Press the large black circle and then move the white ring around it forward and start and the machine will power on. Discovered by accident but seriously necessary.
Can't change the dryer temperature to high, the icons are tiny, and I don't know what they mean.. Hate it, really hate it.
