Overview

Product Description

8.8 cu.ft Top Load HE Gas Dryer with Intuitive Touch Controls, Steam Refresh

Help prevent damage caused by overdrying and spend less time in the laundry room with the Whirlpool® 8.8 cu. ft. high-efficiency gas steam dryer. This large capacity dryer features Advanced Moisture Sensing that senses the needs of each load and adapts drying times, so every load stops when clothes are perfectly dry. Four shorter, quad baffles bring more balanced tumbling results, even on small loads. And, it's a steam dryer with cycles that help reduce wrinkles and odors so clothes are refreshed without rewashing with the Steam Refresh cycle.

Intuitive Touch Controls with Memory

Intuitive Touch Controls with Memory always ask the right questions. Easy “what” and “how” controls effortlessly help you create customized care for any mess depending on load type, size and drying times. Plus, they even remember your last settings to save you time when drying those everyday favorites.

Advanced Moisture Sensing

Advanced Moisture Sensing uses three active built-in sensors to read incoming and outgoing air temperatures while continuously monitoring heat and moisture levels inside the dryer. This helps the cycle automatically end when clothes are perfectly dry and helps prevents damage caused by overdrying.

Steam Refresh Cycle

Clothes are ready to wear thanks to the Steam Refresh cycle. It releases wrinkles and reduces odors without rewashing. Using water and a little heat, items that don't need to be rewashed are ready to wear in no time.

Wrinkle Shield™ Plus Option with Steam

The Wrinkle Shield™ Plus option with Steam helps keep wrinkles from setting into your clean clothes with intermittent tumbling after the dryer cycle ends. Now you can enjoy the added benefit of steam for even better wrinkle-fighting performance.

Additional Features

Quad Baffles

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

Estimated Time Remaining LED Display

Always have an eye on how much time is left during any cycle with our estimated time remaining LED display. Part of our updated digital console, it illuminates your selected cycles, options and available choices, and lets you know when you can remove items from the dryer.

8.8 cu. ft. Capacity

The 8.8 cu. ft. capacity dryer offers enough space to care for loads from the washer with ease. You'll even be able to dry bulky items like comforters and sleeping bags.

EcoBoost™ Option

Get additional energy efficiency without giving up cleaning performance. This option lowers water temperature and increases the tumbling action to use less energy while still delivering great cleaning and gentle performance.

Static Reduce Option

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

Sanitize Cycle

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

Rated 1 out of 5 by DavidKe from Appliances don't last as long as they should!! These appliances are so expensive they should last much longer than three to five years. They look nice but are very poor quality.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Patrick from Where is filter I paid for??? I registered my refrigerator. At that same site I purchased a water filter for $53.86. Where is it? You don't pick up phone calls, chatting does not work. Communicating with a human for service was impossible. Thank you, Patrick
