Several factors can cause your Whirlpool dryer to shut off prematurely. Check the dryness setting if you're using auto cycles. Make sure the lint screen isn't full and that the vent isn't clogged. The moisture sensor may also be a factor. Also you can see Adjusting Customer-Focused Drying Modes, page 10.

This document outlines the diagnostic and troubleshooting procedures for a dryer, focusing on its electronic controls, motor, heating system, and various sensors. It also provides instructions for accessing and reinstalling electronic assemblies and other components.
The dryer is designed to dry clothes efficiently, incorporating various cycles and options to suit different fabric types and drying needs. Its operation is managed by machine control electronics, which monitor and regulate key components like the motor, heater, and sensors to ensure proper and safe functioning. The user interacts with the dryer through a console that includes buttons, a cycle selector knob, and a two-digit display for estimated time remaining and fault codes.
The dryer offers several features to enhance its usability and performance:
The document provides detailed steps for troubleshooting and component replacement, which are essential for maintaining the dryer's functionality:
