Overview

Product Description

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

Create customized cycles for your large capacity gas 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 1 out of 5 by Lemon? from Wish it worked! Brand new dryer doesn't heat. We haven't been able to use it, since purchase. Currently waiting for authorized repair person. Thank God it's new and under warranty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GFrazier53 from Great Dryer I was looking for a dryer with the type door this particular model has & I’m so happy with it! Love that it doesn’t take forever to dry my clothes. Should have gotten this model sooner.

Rated 4 out of 5 by trace from Nice dryer So far so good. I received my dryer about 2 weeks ago. It works well, although as some reviews have mentioned, sometimes the clothes are not fully dry. My towels and sheets are always dry, but maybe the waistband on a pair of men's sweatpants will be damp, or perhaps all the t-shirts are damp. It's not a problem for me because I'm home most of the time and always time my laundry so that I can take it out as soon as it's done, so I just turn it back on for a few minutes. If I'm not home, it works because then I can dewrinkle the clothes when I get to it. It's as quiet/noisy as any dryer I have ever had. The panel is easy to figure out how you want to dry your clothes etc. I didn't give it 5 stars because for the last 20 years I don't think any appliance will ever be 5 stars again, as they seem to need constant repairs and don't last. I have never had a Whirlpool, so I am hoping that this will be a brand I can stick with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by U×2,EZ from INCAPABLE OF TIME TRAVEL - DRIES CLOTHING "ONLY" Compared to past models the present, front-loading "Top Load Gas Dryer" Model performs fantastically well, if for some inexplicable reason you are looking for a Time-Travel-MachineLESS Clothing Dryer with intuitive controls. Those seeking a more functional time-traveling experience will be left high-and-dry, so-to-speak. Just a future heads-up on that. PROS: DRIES OBJECTS OVER TIME CONS: LACKS "BEND-TIME: on/off" FEATURE

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jlp1 from We bought this dryer a couple of months ago. We’re happy with it, so far. I love all the drying options. It has a huge drum, allowing plenty of room for large loads.
