Features

  • Moisture Sensing

    Two sensors increase your dryer’s ability to measure moisture and temperature, helping prevent overdrying by automatically stopping the cycle when the load is dry.

  • Wrinkle Shield Option

    After the cycle ends, help keep wrinkles from setting into clean, dry fabrics with the Wrinkle Shield Option. It keeps clothes tumbling for up to 2.5 hours after the cycle ends or until you open the door.

  • Steam Refresh cycle

    Release wrinkles with the Steam Refresh cycle. It uses water and heat to get clothes ready to wear without rewashing.

  • Timed Dry

    Take control of your time and the dryness level of your load. Set the control for 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes when a damp load needs a little extra dry time or when using a drying rack.

  • Air Only Cycle

    Fluff and refresh loads or air out delicates with a cycle that tumbles your items with no heat.

  • Quick Dry Cycle

    Dry a small load quickly or customize settings to add more time. Plus, you can choose to remember your settings for your next load of laundry.

  • Interior Light

    See every item in the dryer with the Interior Light

  • End of Cycle Signal

    Know when your cycle is finished with an end of cycle buzzer.

  • Wrinkle Control Cycle

    Helps to minimize wrinkles by using lower temperatures during the cycle, then defaulting to using the Wrinkle Shield Option for continued tumbling after the cycle ends.

  • Static Reduce Option

    Help decrease static with the Static Reduce Option, which combines a mist of water with tumbling after the load is dry.

  • Gas connector and vent kit sold separately and not included.

    Dryer works like it should

    2 weeks in no problems, like the anti wrinkle features. Both the intermittent running and the steam feature. Otherwise it's a dryer it drys things, controls are fairly simple and self explanatory.

    Happy with my American Made Purchase!

    Great dryer. Quiet. Lots of room. Love the wrinkle guard/steam fresh options. The sensor drying left my sweatshirts a little damp still. Had to run a littke longer but otherwise happy with my purchase. Very happy that American made! My last Whirlpool washer and dryer lasted 20+ years.

    Great dryer for the money

    the dryer is one of the best I have owned. large enough to dry Cal King comforters, quiet and efficient, setup was a snap with the delivery and installation team that showed up. they took the time to show me the gas leak detection process and waited while I operated the dryer. the moisture sensing is a bit off, the towels were not wet but they were slightly damp, and the dryer sensed that it was done. Still a great product from whirlpool.

    trouble

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not happy and still waiting on service response for the white marks that are appearing on dark clothing and the agitator cap and spring that becomes dislodged when the agitator is removed
