Big Waste!

Tam #1 7/13/2025

My smart front load electric dryer isn™€™t so smart. Unless I use the timed dry setting and wrinkle relief the clothes will not dry and I would end up re-drying them. Can use timed dry with wrinkle guard setting only on this dryer. Had it one year and is already broken down because of the WiFi I don™€™t even use.

Dryer doesn™€™t work.

Don’t buy this machine. 9/4/2024

I do not recommend purchasing this machine since it cannot completely dry a load of clothes.i bought a new dryer about a month ago. It doesn™€™t matter which drying cycles k choose, the ™€œmoisture sensor™€ erroneously believes the load is dry and shuts the machine off. All of the load is still damp. I™€™ve scheduled a service call with authorized whirlpool tech ™€" no help. I™€™ve called, emailed & messaged whirlpool customer service ™€" no help.

Noisy and Internet Connectivity is worthless

Gebjeff 2/20/2024

I bought the dryer directly from Whirlpool several weeks ago. The dryer has a loud and fast thumping noise on the right rear side and I called Whirlpool to request a service call. The representative told me that this is due to a rubber gasket that needs to stretch and get properly seated and it takes about 5 cycles. I've run the dryer about 10 cycles and the thumping is still there, but quieter. I guess I'll run it a few more times before requesting a service call. The owner's manual tells you how to install the dryer and connect it to your WiFi router. It doesn't give you any information about how to turn on the dryer, select a cycle, customize a cycle, what the remote access or settings buttons are for. Whirlpool should put the include the Quick Start Guide information in the owners manual. The app is almost worthless. While you can send a favorite cycle to the dryer, you have to touch start on the dryer for the cycle to start. (If you have to touch the start button, why not set cycle when you're at the dryer anyway?) Also, your Favorite cycles aren't stored on the dryer, only in the app. The Discover button on the bottom of the screen sends you to Whirlpool's website, not to an online user manual or quick start guide. As far a I can tell, the only thing that the app does well is telling you that the cycle is over.

Wetorchid 5/27/2023

Purchased this very recently and so far it is great! Many options and definitely does the job! Have been a fan of whirlpool for as long as I can remember! These replaced the original duet pair many years ago and they lived up to my expectations!

Happy with Performance

MargB 5/25/2023

I am happy with this dryer™€™s performance. Easy to use with intuitive controls. One star off because we did have to replace the first dryer delivered because it had a Tick-Tick-Tick sound when running. The replacement dryer does not have this sound and runs very quietly. Pleased with this purchase.

Questions

Jemari 3/14/2023

No where in the description are practical things covered, like what kind of outlet/voltage, and if this dryer has a drain tube. What is the point of needing an app and your phone to do laundry? (That sounds like it makes laundry harder.) Why all the delicate touch electronics when simple, reliable mecanical buttons and dials would last longer? Does anyone know the answers?

I really like the notifications when the cycle is

Computer Engineer 3/12/2020

I bought this and the 1960 version washer at the same time. It has been installed for about a week and I am very pleased. My wife really likes the user interface that is the same as the washer. She says it is so easy. You basically start with what to dry and then how to dry. After that, you can modify other settings such as temperature,auto dry, etc. I find the automatic drying is much better than the model we replaced (which was 20 years old, so technology has improved) because the clothes are dry. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the APP, but I like it. In particular, I like the end of cycle notification, because sometimes the end of cycle indicator can't be heard if I am in the other end of the house. I bought the 9620 models instead of the 8620 models which were on sale, because of small feature differences on the washer and the touch screen interface.

Dries my clothes in a timely manner and doesn™€™t ruin clothes! Love the easy of navigating the dryer. Haven™€™t quite figured out the WiFi enabled features.
