Whirlpool W10267624A - SP User Manual

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer 
as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD™ 
feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to help 
keep wrinkles from forming.

■

Get up to 90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the 
end of a cycle. Cancel at any time by pressing the WRINKLE 
SHIELD™ feature button.

■

During the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, you may continue the 
option after opening and closing the dryer door by pushing 
START.

NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature, the 
dryer stops after the cool down period.

Temperature settings are used with the Manual Cycles. Press 
TEMP ADJUST until the desired temperature setting illuminates. 
Temperature modifiers cannot be used with the Auto Cycles. 

Use the Air Only modifier for items that require drying without heat 
such as rubber, plastic and heat-sensitive fabrics. This chart 
shows examples of items that can be dried using Air Only.

NOTE: Auto Cycles are not available when you are using the Air 
Only setting.

The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the 
drying cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of 
the cycle reduces wrinkling.
Press and release the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL to turn off the 
signal.
Hold the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL for 3 seconds to lock or unlock 
this control.
NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is selected and the 
End of Cycle Signal is on, an audible sound will be emitted every 
5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE 
SHIELD™ feature is finished.

You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status 
indicator lights.

When a cycle is first turned on, the SENSING light illuminates until 
a wet item is detected.

■

In an Auto Cycle, if a wet item has not been detected within 
5 minutes, the Sensing light will turn off.

■

In a Manual Cycle, if a wet item is not detected within 
5 minutes, the Sensing light will turn off and the Damp light 
will turn on. 

The WET light will turn on when a wet item has been detected in 
the dryer. The Wet light will remain on until:

■

The damp dry point is reached in an Auto or Manual Cycle.

The DAMP light indicates that the load has reached the damp dry 
level.

The COOL DOWN light illuminates during the cool down part of 
the cycle. Laundry is cooling down for ease in handling. 

This light illuminates when a drying cycle is finished. If the 
WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature has been selected, the WRINKLE 
SHIELD™ feature indicator light will also be illuminated. 
The Cycle Complete light turns off 1 hour after the end of a drying 
cycle (including the WRINKLE SHIELD™ cycle of 90 minutes), 
when Pause/Cancel is pressed, or when the door is opened.

The WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature light illuminates when this option 
is selected. This indicator stays on with the Cycle Complete light.

Other indicator lights on the control panel show when Cycle, 
Temp Adjust, and End of Cycle settings are selected. 

This feature allows you to lock your settings to avoid unintended 
use of the dryer. You can also use the control lock feature to avoid 
unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.
To enable the control lock feature:
Press and hold END OF CYCLE SIGNAL button for 3 seconds. 
The Lock/Unlock Control icon lights up, and a single beep tone is 
heard. To unlock, press and hold END OF CYCLE SIGNAL button 
for 3 seconds. The indicator light turns off. 

You can change Auto Cycles, Timed Cycles, Options, and 
Modifier anytime before pressing Start.
