[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Check Vent light turns on during each drying cycle.
It's a new machine. There is no problem with the vent.
Don't understand why the light turns on. Whirlpool Tech said the light turns on just as a remi
nder to clean lint screen or check vent. According to your manual, when check light does turn on there's a problem with the vent. ONCE AGAIN "IT'S A NEW MACHINE,THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VENT!

Response from whirlpool.comBy Branded Team, Consumer Care, December 22, 2025
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We regret that you are having these concerns with your Dryer. The "Check Vent" indicator (or AF error code) signals restricted airflow, a critical safety and performance issue, active only during Automatic Cycles.
How it Works: The dryer senses airflow at the start of an automatic cycle. If restricted airflow or a blocked vent is detected, the "Check Vent" light illuminates and remains on until the cycle ends, the Power button is touched, or the door is opened. The light will persist in subsequent cycles until the root cause is fixed. Restricted airflow causes long dry times, excessive energy use, and a potential fire hazard.
Troubleshooting Steps:
Clear the Display Code: Touch any key if an AF code is on the screen.
Clean the Lint Screen: Clean the screen before every load, ensuring no residue buildup.
Inspect Behind the Dryer: Pull the dryer out. Check that the flexible vent is not crushed, kinked, or bent and is free of lint.
Check External Exhaust: Run a heated cycle. Go outside and verify the airflow from the vent cap is strong (like a hair dryer on high). If weak, the entire system is clogged. Clean all lint and ensure the exhaust flaps open fully.
Review Installation: Consult the Installation Instructions. Confirm the vent system's length and number of elbows are within the manufacturer's maximum recommendations.
Final Test/Professional Help: If the message persists, run a Timed Dry cycle. If the issue remains, contact a qualified venting specialist or HVAC professional for a thorough cleaning.
A specialized dryer vent test kit (part #W11224254) is available for accurate diagnostic testing of vent restrictions. To order, contact Customer Service.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My washer works well and does most of what I need. However, I need a washing machine that will handle a bath mat, small rugs, queen size washable light blankets. Those are the things that I want help washing but was told by repairman that they shouldn't be washed in any of the new non-commercial machines. It would be nice to go back to the old machines that were sturdier and could handle the heavier things.
I would recommend this to a friend!
