Ventless dryers (condenser and heat pump) do not require external ventilation. Instead, condensers cool the warm air and drain or store the resulting water. Heat pump systems reheat the cooled air for another cycle. Overall, ventless dryers are more energy efficient than vented.)

Product Manuals

Q: Can someone please explain what "4-Way venting" means? It is listed in the the specs but I am unsure what it means. I am looking for a stackable W/D combo that will fit in an enclosed 1st floor area adjacent to my kitchen.

A: Denise, 4 way venting mean you can vent the dryer out that back of the dryer. It can also be changed to vent out of the left or right side walls and from the botton.

Q: Does the dryer have an inside light model WED85HEFW1

A: No, this product does not have interior lighting.

Q: does the drum have a light? does the door open to the right or left (by default--without paying extra to switch it)?

A: yes it has a light. Mine opens from the left. The handle is on the left, I pull it open and it stays to the right of the drum. The hinges are on the right side if I am facing it to put my laundry inside.

Q: We purchased this dryer with the coordinating washing machine at Best Buy 4 years ago. As of this week, the dryer is exhibiting an abnormal vibration sound. I’m not sure if I should go through Best Buy or Whirlpool directly for this issue?

A: Hello Casey, we would love the opportunity to assist you. Feel free to call us at 800-253-1301. We are open Monday through Friday 8 am to 8 pm EST and Saturday 8 am to 4:30 pm.

Q: How do you use the steam feature on model WED85HEFW

A: If you turn the dial to the 6:00 position, thats the steam setting. Stright down. Works GREAT!!!

Q: When I would put it on normal wash it would only take 30 minute but somehow it changed to taking one hour and I was wondering how to change the time it lasts?

A: Michellleh, we recommend viewing the User Guide regarding cycle times. Automatic Cycles give the best drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies based on fabric type, load size, and dryness setting. Drying time is estimated and may change throughout the cycle. Drying time can not be changed onAutomatic Cycles. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
