Whirlpool W10562346B User Manual

Cycle time too short

Sensor Cycle ending early.

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the 

dryer.

Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level 

setting on Sensor Cycles.  

Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the 

amount of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending 

too early, see also Changing the Sensor Cycle Default Settings.

Lint on load

Lint screen clogged.

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Stains on load or drum

Dryer fabric softener not properly 

used.

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. 

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain 

your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). 

These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

Load not removed from dryer at the 

end of the cycle.

Select Wrinkle Shield feature to tumble the load without heat to 

avoid wrinkling.

Dryer tightly packed.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce wrinkles from 

forming.

Odors

You have recently been painting, 

staining, or varnishing in the area 

where your dryer is located.

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from 

the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

The electric dryer is being used for 

the first time.

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor 

will be gone after the first cycle.

Load is too hot

Laundry items removed from the 

dryer before the end of the cycle.

Allow the Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry 

from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and 

make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may 

feel very warm.

A high temperature cycle was used 

or the Temp was set on high.

Select a lower temperature, and use an sensor drying cycle. 

These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the 

load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. 

This reduces overdrying.
