Whirlpool W10164159B Manual Do Utilizador

■

Is the dryer located in a closet?

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the door. The rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm) of
airspace, and the sides and front of the dryer require a minimum
of 1" (25 mm). See the Installation Instructions.

■

Has the Air Only modifier been selected?

Select the right temperature for the types of garments being
dried. See “Modifiers.”

■

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?

Separate the load to tumble freely.

■

Are clothes coming out of the Quick Refresh cycle with
damp or wet spots?

Under certain environmental or installation conditions you may
experience underdrying. Select the Enhanced Touch Up cycle
(20 min. default time), which can be customized by choosing
temperature by pressing TEMP and/or cycle time by pressing
the Time Adjust up or down buttons.

Cycle time too short

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

■

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.

Lint on load

■

Is the lint screen clogged?

Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

Stains on load or drum

■

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 in the
Enhanced Touch Up or Quick Refresh Steam cycles.

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

Loads are wrinkled

■

Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?

Select the Enhanced Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with
water and heat to help smooth out wrinkles from a load left in
the dryer.

■

Was the dryer overloaded?

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Smaller loads yield best
results with the 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.

■

Loads are still wrinkled following Steam cycles?

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. 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.

Odors

■

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.

■

Is water 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.

■

To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select the Quick
Refresh cycle for small loads of two to four garments. This cycle
is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of
wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits, and
synthetics.
