Good dryer
on January 13, 2026
Posted by: Jack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good dryer. It drives very large loads quickly and completely.
I do wish I could control the buzzer type and volume and I'm not too fond of always having to turn the dryer off so the light will go out. These are just minor things I'd get next time.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and had men come out to see why vent light keeps coming on intermittently. Tomorrow will be the third time. They told me nothing is wrong but I shouldn’t use it when light is on and unplug it. I’m 75 and have a brand new dryer! My vents have been cleaned and checked and are perfect. All I ask for is a different dryer.

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.
