Whirlpool W10136968C Manual Do Utilizador

■

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with 
lint, restricting air movement? 
Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the 
outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not 
feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace 
exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the 
Installation Instructions.

■

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? 
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

■

Is the exhaust vent the correct length? 
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many 
turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the 
Installation Instructions. 

■

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.

■

Are clothes coming out of the Refresh cycle with damp or 
wet spots?
Under certain environmental or installation conditions you 
may experience underdrying. Select the Touch Up cycle 
(20 min. default time), which can be customized by selecting 
High temperature and/or additional cycle time by pressing 
the Dry Time up button.

■

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. Do not use fabric softener sheets with 
steam cycles.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue 
jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing. 

■

Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
Select Enhanced Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with 
water and heat. This cycle is 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.

■

Loads are still wrinkled following Steam Cycle?
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.

■

Was the dryer overloaded? 
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Smaller loads of 1-4 
garments yield best results with Quick Refresh Cycle. 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.
