Why does my Whirlpool Dryer take so long to dry?
- B
  Brittany ThorntonAug 2, 2025
  Several factors can cause your Whirlpool Dryer to take longer than expected or leave laundry not fully dry. First, ensure you've selected the right program for your load type. Second, a clogged door or bottom filter restricts airflow; clean them as instructed in the CARE AND MAINTENANCE section. Third, laundry that's too wet prolongs drying time; ensure it's spun at maximum speed (ideally above 800 rpm). Finally, high ambient temperatures affect drying efficiency; the ideal range is 15-20°C, so ventilate the room if it's too warm.

  If your Whirlpool Dryer doesn't start even after pressing START/PAUSE, check if the door is fully closed until it clicks. Also, verify whether the Key lock is activated. If it is, press and hold the button with the key symbol until the display indicates that the keys are unlocked.

  If your Whirlpool Dryer displays failure codes F05 to F09, switch it off and unplug it. Open the door to remove the laundry and let the heat dissipate. Ensure the room temperature is between 5°C and 35°C. Wait about an hour, then plug the dryer back in, reload the laundry, and restart the program. If the error persists, no answer.

  If you notice water droplets beneath your Whirlpool Dryer, several issues could be the cause. Start by checking that the bottom filter and water tank are correctly inserted into their compartments. Also, remove any lint from the bottom filter and door seals. If you have a direct drain connection, ensure it's working properly. Lastly, confirm the dryer is level; adjust the feet if necessary, referring to the INSTALLATION GUIDE.
