                    Not drying effectively
                    UPDATED 2-11-26: We had service men com out today and was i quick fix, once they took the top panel off the dryer they saw that the heat sensor wire clip/pins weren't fully connected, after a test run it seemed to work alot more affectively. Had this dryer and the washer delivered, 1day before the latest winter freeze in texas, yesterday was the first chance we got to use them because of freezing pipes. Dryer doesn't seem right, I've followed as many guidelines as possible to ensure it drys effectively, cleaned out the dryer vent which was the primary issue, and still it cant seem to fully dry clothes especially on low heat for delicate items. Changing setting doesn't do anything to effectively dry clothes either, absolute waste of money.

                    Response from WhirlpoolTeamFeb 3, 2026
                    Thank you for sharing your insights with us. We regret that you have had a negative experience with your Whirlpool® Dryer. Please see below for some troubleshooting tips for this concern.

                    Lint Screen: The lint screen is located in the door opening. A blocked screen increases drying time. It is imperative to clean the lint screen after every use. https://youtu.be/1ZlmHCFaCnQ

                    AF Error Code or Check Vent Light: A clogged exhaust vent system slows moist air removal and extends drying time. Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood; if airflow is less than a hair dryer on high speed, clean the lint from the entire vent system and exhaust hood. https://youtu.be/Ge0JUp9zUvo

                    Home Venting Line: Long dry times, even when the dryer is heating, are often caused by a vent issue or restricted airflow. The vent line from the dryer to the outside of the home should be cleaned every one to two years or when a decrease in drying performance is noted. You may also contact a professional vent cleaning service.
                    Benefits of Regular Vent Cleaning: Reduce Drying Time, Increase Air Flow, and Reduce Energy Cost.

                    Dryer Vent Testing Kit: To help assess your dryer vent system's performance, Whirlpool offers a convenient and reliable testing kit. Visit Dryer Test Kit or Contact Us to purchase part #W11224254. https://www.whirlpoolparts.com/PartDetail/Vent-Testing-Kit/W11224254/4814253

                    Cycle Selection: Cycle selection is important. If clothes are not reaching the desired dryness level, select a different cycle such as ""More Dry"" or ""Regular."" For best performance, use an automatic cycle.
                    Quick Dry and Rapid Dry are timed cycles for smaller loads. If clothes are still wet, run the cycle again.
                    Steam Cycle: Steam cycles are optimized for large, normal, or heavy loads. Using this feature with smaller loads may result in wet spots or condensation. This option adds approximately 3-8 minutes to the total cycle time.

                    It is recommended for wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics to smooth wrinkles and reduce odors. Refer to garment care label instructions; dry-clean-only garments are not recommended.
                    For more information, refer to How the Steam Option Works: https://producthelp.whirlpool.com/Laundry/Dryers/Product_Info/Dryer_Tips_and_Tricks/How_the_Steam_Option_Works

                    Dryer Level: If the dryer is not level, clothing may not make proper contact with the moisture sensors during Automatic cycles. Consult your Owner's Manual for leveling instructions.

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this dryer a month ago and its nicely set up. You can swap the door to open whichever way you need. It's very quiet and loads dry quickly. There is a damp sensor Im still trying to figure out, when the dryer thinks its dry, it ends the cycle, meanwhile the items will still be damp.

                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Learning how to use a new appliance is usually time consuming, instructions were very clear. I like the cool down feature at the end of the drying cycle.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a whirlpool washer about 2 years ago and absolutely love it! when the dryer we had finally kicked the bucket after probably at least 15 years, I had to get a whirlpool dryer... the old one would take forever to dry, 180 minutes! this one, its set for less than 60 minutes and its smart enough to know the clothes are dry and it stops! I hear the bell on the dryer going off before the timer I set on my alexa, its great and makes laundry day so much more efficient... highly recommend!!
