Help prevent overdrying with a front load electric dryer with Advanced Moisture Sensing, which uses three moisture sensors to end the cycle at just the right time. A stainless steel dryer drum gently cradles clothes as they tumble. When drying ends, the ENERGY STAR® certified electric dryer's steam cycles help release and prevent wrinkles.

  • 7.4 cu. ft. Capacity: Get plenty of room to dry the large loads you washed in the matching front load washer. This 7.4 cu. ft. dryer easily handles bulky items like comforters and sleeping bags.
  • ENERGY STAR® Certified: ENERGY STAR® certified models exceed government standards to help conserve natural resources and save money on your utility bills.
  • Intuitive Controls: Let the dryer guide you to the right cycle combinations or customize up to 36 of your own to get the right type of fabric care for whatever you're drying.
  • Wrinkle Shield™ Plus Option with Steam: Help keep wrinkles from setting into clean, dry fabrics. The Wrinkle Shield™ Plus option with Steam uses tumbling and steam for up to 150 minutes after the cycle ends or until you open the dryer door for improved wrinkle-fighting performance.
  • Steam Refresh Cycle: Release wrinkles and reduce odors with the Steam Refresh cycle. It uses water and heat to get clothes ready to wear without rewashing.
  • Sanitize Cycle: The Sanitize cycle provides care for your clothes in the dryer while eliminating 99.9% of common household bacteria. (Bacteria tested were K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus.)
  • Static Reduce Option: Help decrease static with the Static Reduce option, which combines a spray of mist with tumbling after the load is dry.
  • EcoBoost™ Option: Use less energy while getting great drying performance with the EcoBoost™ option. This option saves energy by using less heat and an extended cycle time. (Savings may vary by load type.)
  • Quad Baffles: Four baffles tumble clothes in a randomized pattern, allowing items to open up freely. This helps increase the effectiveness of the dryer for small loads.
  • Stainless Steel Dryer Drum: Clothes are gently cradled as they tumble around the smooth surface of this drum’s stainless steel construction.
  • Dryer Rack: Place unique or delicate items like sweaters, pillows, hats and tennis shoes on the Dryer Rack for tumble-free drying. This rack attaches inside the drum and stays in one place throughout the cycle. Rack ships separately after online product registration. Valid email address required.
  • Closet-Depth Fit: Get a space-saving design with closet-depth fit that allows for more flexible installation in your laundry space. (Designed to fit a 33" installation depth.)
  • Laundry Pedestals: Raise your dryer for easier loading and unloading. Optional laundry pedestals also provide space-saving storage for detergent, dryer sheets and other supplies. (Sold separately.)
Whats Included
  • Whirlpool 7.4 Cu. Ft. 36-Cycle High-Efficiency Electric Dryer with Steam
  • Drying rack
  • Owner's manual

Q: how is noise level of this unit? I am looking for quietest model. For what it's worth, last year's model WED92 specified quiet in the drum materials. This year's does not.

A: I have used this washer and it is much quieter than my 4YO upper tier Samsung. I am very happy overall with the purchase of this machine.

Q: Will this dryer stack on model WFW5620HW washer?

A: Hello Fawks! Yes, these two models will stack together. We hope this helps.

Q: How do I get it to dry a comforter without stopping? I just got it yesterday, it dried other loads of clothes fine, but for the comforter it keeps stopping after 5 to 10 minutes.

A: It may be because the "Damp Dry" option is selected...page 7 in the owner manual/instructions talks about the Damp Dry Signal saying the Damp Dry signal is selected as a default for Bulky Items/Normal, Bulky Items/Wrinkle Control, and Bulky Items/Heavy Duty cycles, as a reminder to manually reposition bulky loads midway through if you want to. If you don't want that reminder I'm thinking all you have to do is be sure to disable/de-select the "Damp Dry' option. I'll pay attention to that next time and see if that's what the issue was. Such much to learn, but so far so good! Thanks Whirlpool.

Q: Does this washer have the feature where it holds and dispenses soap.for 40 loads? Is hauling old washer off included? Are hoses universal? Is this interest free for 18 months?

A: Yes the washer has the dispenser that holds 30 loads of detergent. Yes its interest free for 18 months. I believe they do haul off old units, cant remember if its included because I didnt need that but I remember reading it somewhere when I was doing all my research and thinking that's cool...but double check. Not sure about the hoses being universal.
