Whirlpool WGD7990X User Manual

The main screen has 5 tabs, each with several automatic cycles. Each tab allows you to select automatic 

cycles based on what you want to dry, for example, by clothing type, color, or common household items. 

The RECENT tab lists the last 7 cycles used and saves any customized settings applied to these cycles. 
To select a cycle, touch the tab the cycle is in (see Cycle Chart on next page), then touch the    and    

arrows until the desired cycle is shown. Then simply touch the cycle icon to select. For additional  

information on each cycle and recommended loads, touch LEARN MORE. 

If you select Timed Dry, you can set a specific amount of drying 

time and drying temperature. When a Timed Cycle is selected, 

the Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual time 

remaining in your cycle. 

If you select Adjust Settings, manually choose and adjust each 

setting individually using the buttons across the bottom of the 

screen. If an option is not available, it will be grayed out and 

cannot be selected. To change settings from the cycle defaults, 

touch Adjust Settings.  

Use the Automatic Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Cycles, 

drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer 

shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and could result in 

shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying with certain fabrics. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs  

a little more drying time, when using the drying rack, or for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and 

heat-sensitive fabrics.
