Overview

Product Description

7.4 cu. ft. Top Load Electric Dryer with Intuitive Controls

Create customized cycles for your large capacity electric dryer in a few touches for the right fabric care. A dryer sanitize cycle uses higher temperatures to sanitize items like towels, while the Wrinkle Shield™ option helps keep wrinkles from setting into clean clothes. And to save energy, the EcoBoost™ option uses less heat while providing the same great drying performance.

AccuDry™ sensor drying technology

Two built-in sensors measure moisture and temperature levels to help prevent overdrying and automatically stop the cycle when the load is dry.

Intuitive Controls

Let the dryer guide you to the right cycle combinations or customize up to 35 of your own to get the right type of fabric care for whatever you’re drying.

Additional Features

Wrinkle Shield™ option

Help keep wrinkles from setting into clean, dry fabrics with the Wrinkle Shield™ option. It keeps clothes tumbling for up to 150 minutes after the cycle ends or until you open the door.

EcoBoost™ option

Use less energy while still getting great drying performance with the EcoBoost™ option that uses less heat and extended cycle times for greater energy efficiency.

Sanitize Cycle

The Sanitize cycle provides care for your clothes in the dryer while eliminating 99.9% of common household bacteria.

Quick Dry Cycle

Dry a small load quickly or customize settings to add more time. Plus, you can choose to remember your settings for your next load of laundry.

7.4 cu. ft. capacity

With a 7.4 cu. ft. capacity dryer drum, there’s plenty of room to easily handle the large loads you washed in the matching top load washer.

Hamper Door

Easily transfer loads from the washer to the dryer and from the dryer to the laundry basket without worrying about clean clothes falling on the floor with this wide-opening door.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Toni E from Great dryer at a great price. I had to replace a 20 year old dryer that was going to cost more to fix than a new one. I choose this model for the features at this price range and for the hamper door placement.

Rated 4 out of 5 by VickiC from Great features! We’ve had this dryer for over a month now, and overall it’s been good. We had not replaced a dryer for quite a few years, so there were several features that were real improvements. I like the touch features, which were a little confusing at first. This lead to a few loads that were not quite dry enough, but now I’ve got the hang of it. Because the room is so small, the front panel is a little awkward to get the clothes out of the dryer, but that’s not really a reflection on the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Laundrygirl from Nice choice I’ve had this dryer for a few weeks now, and it works very well. I was surprised they came without a manual or any type of supporting documentation. I guess I am old school and I like having the printed copy. but the dryer does a good job and is it easy to figure out?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Marie from Love this dryer! I love my new dryer. I replaced a 6 year old LG that had all the bells and whistles and could not dry my clothes. This new unit does the job and it’s so simple to use and has the features i want (wrinkle shield) and huge capacity! The selection options are just enough plus the unit is sleek and attractive in the gray color Whirlpool is tried and true, going back to this brand from now on!

Rated 5 out of 5 by edw72 from excellent value and quality I never realized just how terrible my old dryer was till I bouoght this one. The smallest load would take 90 minutes to dry, even then, it was still damp sometimes. The dryer alerts if you need to re-position the clothes for faster drying. The best part is that it will dry huge loads in record time saving me money.
