Overview

Product Description

7.4 cu. ft. Front Load Gas Dryer with Steam Cycles

Help prevent overdrying with a front load gas dryer with Advanced Moisture Sensing, which uses three moisture sensors to end the cycle at just the right time. A stainless steel dryer drum gently cradles clothes as they tumble. When drying ends, the ENERGY STAR® certified gas dryer's steam cycles help release and prevent wrinkles.

Intuitive Controls

Let the dryer guide you to the right cycle combinations or customize up to 36 of your own to get the right type of fabric care for whatever you're drying.

Wrinkle Shield™ Plus Option with Steam

Help keep wrinkles from setting into clean, dry fabrics. The Wrinkle Shield™ Plus option with Steam uses tumbling and steam for up to 150 minutes after the cycle ends or until you open the dryer door for improved wrinkle-fighting performance.

Steam Refresh Cycle

Release wrinkles and reduce odors with the Steam Refresh cycle. It uses water and heat to get clothes ready to wear without rewashing.

Sanitize Cycle

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

Additional Features

7.4 cu. ft. Capacity

Get plenty of room to dry the large loads you washed in the matching front load washer. This 7.4 cu. ft. dryer easily handles bulky items like comforters and sleeping bags.

ENERGY STAR® Certified

ENERGY STAR® certified models exceed government standards to help conserve natural resources and save money on your utility bills.

Advanced Moisture Sensing

Help prevent overdrying. Three sensors track moisture and temperature, adapting drying times to end the cycle at just the right time.

Static Reduce Option

Help decrease static with the Static Reduce Option, which combines a mist of water with tumbling after the load is dry.

EcoBoost™ Option

Use less energy while getting great drying performance with the EcoBoost™ option. This option saves energy by using less heat and an extended cycle time.

Quad Baffles

Four baffles tumble clothes in a randomized pattern, allowing items to open up freely. This helps increase the effectiveness of the dryer for small loads.

Stainless Steel Dryer Drum

Clothes are gently cradled as they tumble around the smooth surface of this drum’s stainless steel construction.

Dryer Rack

Place unique or delicate items like sweaters, pillows, hats and tennis shoes on the Dryer Rack for tumble-free drying. This rack attaches inside the drum and stays in one place throughout the cycle. Rack ships separately after online product registration.

Closet-Depth Fit

Get a space-saving design with closet-depth fit that allows for more flexible installation in your laundry space.

Rated 1 out of 5 by UnhappyCustomer from Never Buying a Whirlpool when JB Hunt Installs it! The installation was horrible. When attempting to hookup the dryer to the gas line the installers caused the valve to leak gas. Instead of attempting to repair their mistake they stated that they were leaving, leaving me to deal with a gas leak. When I asked them for help, their supervisor refused. JB Hunt was incredibly unprofessional. I suggest you find another company to install your products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Average Joe from Tough and reliable My last Whirlpool gas dryer has lasted for over 2 decades. This new Whirlpool gas dryer seems to be just as tough and reliable.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Miss Lillian from Awful so far!!! The dryer has not worked since we installed it. We've been waiting for a tech to come out and it's been quite inconvenient between the dryer not working and the service tech scheduling and canceling and rescheduling for awful time during my working hours.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rhonnygirl from Average dryer, nothing exciting The dryer has been a disappointment so far. I replaced an old Whirlpool washer and dryer set I had for twenty years. I had high hopes for the new dryer. I have used the sensory setting and each time they were still wet items in the dryer when the timer went off. If I use the timed setting as I had on the old set, all the clothes were dry. It's disappointing that the features I were attracted to don't work well. The alarm notifying you when the driver goes off is not very loud even in the loudest setting. This is OK if you're in the room with the dryer when it goes off, but when a different room, you don't hear it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by None from The drum makes a loud rumbling sound. Eco feature makes drying too long a process and does not completely dry all items. Each time the dryer is turned on we turn off the eco feature so the heating effect comes right on instead of after 20 minutes. The right rear side of the enclosure gets so hot it can’t be touched , We measured 168 degrees F on the surface of the right rear side of the enclosure when in the mid range temperature setting.
