Whirlpool W10151592A User Manual

■

Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? 
Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent material.

■

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45ºF (7ºC)? 
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 
45ºF (7ºC).

■

Is the dryer 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" (2.5 cm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear 
of the dryer requires 5" (12.7 cm). See the Installation 
Instructions.

■

Has the Air Only temperature setting been selected? 
Select the right temperature for the types of garments being 
dried. See “Additional Features.”

■

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? 
Separate the load to tumble freely.

■

Is the automatic cycle ending early? 
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the 
dryer.

Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles. 
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the 
amount of drying time in a cycle.

■

Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

■

Was dryer fabric softener 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). This will not transfer to other clothing. 

■

■

Was the dryer overloaded? 
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

■

Have you 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.

■

Is the dryer being used for the first time?
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor 
will be gone after the first cycle.
