Don't buy. Money wasted. Whirlpool doesn't help.
on December 10, 2025
Posted by: BG11
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this dryer less than a month ago and the clean vent light is coming on everytime I use the dryer. Everything has been cleaned out and there was nothing in it. The light doesn't come on at a certain time when it is drying. A technician was sent out to check it and he was here 15 minutes. Ran the dryer maybe 10 minutes. The light didn't come on. He reported that the dryer was working as it should and Whirlpool isn't wanting to do anything about it or help in any way. If he had stayed and seen the light come on what would he have done then. Never again will I buy another Whirlpool appliance. All the technician did was pull it away from the wall some and see if it was blowing air out the vent. I am very upset with Whirlpool. Thought they stood behind their appliances. Was also told that they do not replace an appliance that is not working right. So now I wait for it to just quit working and I paid good money for nothing.

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.

Digital panel hard to see and use
on December 10, 2025
Posted by: Kathy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this dryer as The Whirlpool one I wanted was not available and I needed something to replace my dryer broke. This one has a digitized selection panel, which I find very hard to use and to see. It does the job for the price, but I would definitely have preferred The other dryer.

Keep it simple!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our unit seems to be working all right. It is a little noisy and my wife wishes that the controls were a little easier to understand. Our old Sears unit just turned off and on and had a timer. That was enough. Do we need all of these things that just seem to cause more problems down the road?

Door opening

from Philadelphia Pennsylvania
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m satisfied with my dryer, however, I wish it had an open to the side opening rather than opening downwards. This would make it much easier to reach clothes in the back of the dryer
I would recommend this to a friend!
