[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this dryer to replace our old dryer and the new dryer takes about twice as long to dry a load of clothes.

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.
If you need additional assistance, please reach out to us directly via Facebook https://www.facebook.com/whirlpoolusa/ or Instagram https://www.instagram.com/whirlpoolusa/. When responding, please include your contact information and reference Case # 901721
We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

Autosensing dryer
on September 12, 2025
Posted by: E-16
from Green Bay, WI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the size of this dryer. It fits a lot of clothes or bulky items like a comforter. The autosensing is a great feature and avoids over or under drying your clothes. The light in the dryer is an added perk!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Efficient dryer!

from Green Bay, WI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the auto sensing feature. It drys the clothes quickly and efficiently. The dryer is quite large and can fit a lot of clothing and even bedding. The light in the back of the dryer is a great add.

Overall satisfied
on October 6, 2025
Posted by: nana12
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this 9 days. I like it better than the one it replaced, but the jury is still out on the sensor feature. I have had that feature on an old GE dryer that worked perfectly for years, so I was spoiled. I'm still working with this one to decide if I'll keep depending on it or setting my own timed drying. Though I didn't see it in anything I looked at before buying, it does have a light in the drum, which I like for removing clothes. The chime isn't loud at all, and might not be discerned above all the other similar chimes from appliances in my kitchen. But it does have the feature available to have the contents tumbled from time to time even after completing the cycle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Dryer that does it's job as expected.
on October 15, 2025
Posted by: JasonB92
from Oklahoma City, OK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a new dryer after our old one failed again. I had repaired it several times, given the issues we had we decided to buy one that made more sense from a total cost of ownership standpoint. The dryer is a no frills machine and it has worked well since setting it up. It does the job better than the old one and still maintains the temperature and cycle types that we needed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy choice, good bang for the buck

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my very old and dead Maytag electric dryer with this Whirlpool a week ago.
It appears that Whirlpool manufactures the Maytag and that is why i made the purchase.
It is a little louder than the Maytag and hoping that it will quit down with time.
