Whirlpool W10562333B User Manual

Clothes are not drying 

satisfactorily or drying 

times are too long (cont.)

Fabric softener sheets are blocking 

the grille.

The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint  

screen. Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet. 

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

The dryer is located in a room with 

temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 

45ºF (7ºC).

The dryer is located in a closet.

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and 

bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 

1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the 

dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See “Installation Instructions”.

Cycle time is too short

The load may not be contacting the 

sensor strips on Automatic Cycles.

Level the dryer. See “Installation Instructions”. All four dryer  

feet should be in firm contact with the floor.

Clothes are coming out of the Steam 

cycles with damp or wet spots.

Under certain environmental or installation conditions you may 

experience underdrying. Select the Quick Refresh cycle. Then 

select the appropriate time based on the load to be refreshed.

The Automatic Cycles are ending 

early.

Change the dryness level setting on Automatic 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 Automatic Cycle settings to 

increase drying time”.

Lint on load

Lint screen is clogged with lint.

Clean lint screen before each load.

Stains on load

Improper use of fabric softener.

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

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain 

your garments. Do not use fabric softener sheets with Steam 

Cycles.

Stains on drum

Loose dyes in clothes.

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

These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

The load was not removed from dryer 

at the end of the cycle.

Select Enhanced Touch Up or Quick Refresh cycles (on some 

models) to tumble the load with water and heat. These cycles 

are best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from 

loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester blends, 

common knits, and synthetic garments.

NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean  

only garments are not recommended.

The dryer was overloaded.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. When using the 

Enhanced Touch Up cycle, be sure to select the correct number 

of garments to be refreshed. Results may also vary depending 

on fabric type. This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors 

from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester 

blends, common knits, and synthetics.

For steam cycles, the water is not 

properly connected with the dryer.

Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water 

inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet 

valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.

Odors

Recent painting, staining, or 

varnishing in the area where your 

dryer is located.

Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the 

area, rewash and dry the clothing.

For Steam Cycles, the water is not 

properly connected with the dryer.

Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water 

inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet 

valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.

Odors are left in garments after 

wearing.

To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Enhanced 

Touch Up or Quick Refresh (on some models). These cycles are 

best for reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of 

wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits,  

and synthetics.
