Regular Servicing
To keep your dryer operating safely at best efficiency, regular
servicing by a designated Whirlpool service technician is
recommended. For normal use, this should be at 12 monthly
intervals. For heavy duty usage, this interval should be reduced
accordingly.
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily
Check the following:
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint,
restricting air movement? Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes.
Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air
movement. If you do not feel air movement, clear exhaust
system of lint, or replace exhaust vent with a heavy metal or a
flexible metal vent. See "Installation Instructions."
Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with heavy
metal or flexible metal vent. See "Installation Instructions."
Has the electricity supply fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
Has an air dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for
the types of garments being dried. See "Drying, Cycle, and
Temperature Tips."
For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one
fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
7ºC?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
7ºC.
Was the load very wet?
Expect longer drying times with items that hold moisture
(cottons).
Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.
