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.

Advanced Moisture Sensing

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.³

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.

Sanitize Cycle

The Sanitize cycle provides care for your clothes in the dryer while eliminating 99.9% of common household bacteria¹.

Static Reduce Option

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

EcoBoost™ Option

Use less energy² 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.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Danakitty123 from Disappointed with an overpriced machine! My dryer was delivered and installed. The installers then ran it for t a few seconds to show me that it worked before leaving. The next day I tried to dry my first load, at 9 minutes in it stopped and showed an error. I called the store I purchased it, they said to call Whirlpool. Whirlpool’s service came out ordered parts came back installed parts, still didn’t work. 3 weeks after receiving I finally got the store to replace. Then a week later the brand new washer broke. It took Whirlpool multiple service calls and 3 months of a broken washer to finally agree to replace! This set is junk!!!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Not happy already used! from Misrepresentation I bought this expensive dryer because it was advertised as having the steam cycle. When it was being installed and I asked about the steam feature I was informed the steam kit did not come with it and I needed to purchase and install it separately!! Surely, the steam kit should have been included in the original purchase? I cannot find information on what I need to buy and how/who to install. If I had known this to be the case I would not have spent $1,200 on what is to me an average dryer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jann52 from Great capacity I replaced my 36 year old whirlpool dryer with this new model. The stainless steel tub is an excellent change, as my old tub had completely lost its paint over the years. My daughter has the model from two years ago, and I find the current controls less intuitive than her model. It is also necessary to turn off the eco-boost as it reduces the heat so much that the load does not dry even in two rounds. Once you turn that off, it works very well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tbone 55 from Large capacity with many features I have used this dryer for about 3 weeks now. No problem for large loads and it has many options. I'm still learning about the settings so I may update in a couple of months.It seems like even though this dryer is gas it doesn't get cottons such as towels as dry as I would like them to be. I liked all of the positive reviews and as this is made in the USA i feel confident in the purchase I made.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Patty and me from Great dryer!! Live our new Whirlpool Dryer! Love all the features with lots to choose from. Had some clothes that were clean but wrinkled and used the Steam option and it took the wrinkles out. Like how it remembers your last dryer option which I use a lot and I can set the times myself. Great dryer!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gotcha 9 from Great Feature I bought this because my old dryer died and I had to go to the Laundromat for a few weeks. The best thing that I like about my dryer is the wrinkle free, now I do not have to get up every morning and iron my work scrubs. Gives me more time to rest before a long day at work.

Rated 4 out of 5 by USA-Vet from Appears to Be a Good Purchase I hope that the components in this machine are USA made. I selected Whirlpool specifically as an American made product. The product appears to be of good overall quality but a final reliability determination will be made over the next 10 years. The size of the door is much too oversized for the dryer opening. Laundry rooms are designed too small and new larger doors don't help. Manual is inadequate, no instructions for use of steam feature, it should be printed in English only.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ernie224 from Amazing combo washer and dryer! We are so happy to have purchased these washer and dryer. We recently purchased a different brand and the front load washer was dancing and making so much noise during spin cycle and the clothes not completely dry. The Whirlpool combo washer and dryer were so smooth during wash cycle and clothes come out dry. I would highly recommend these pair of appliances to my relatives and friends!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Sara from Do not buy this expensive machine :( As soon as my one year guarantee ended, this expensive (almost $1,000) piece of equipment started to make a lot of noise when working, maybe a band got broken. Always hard to get all clothes dried, you must run it like you are drying towels all the time, so it can do its job. Terrible customer service as well.
