How to Troubleshoot a Whirlpool Duet Dryer

Whirlpool is an internationally recognized brand name of home appliances, with a product line including fridges, freezers, stoves, compactors, dishwashers, washers and dryers. The Whirlpool Duet electronic gas dryer is designed for residential use and features a sensor with status lights so you can keep track of each stage of the drying process. Small performance issues with the Duet dryer can be handled at home to avoid a service call.

Instructions

1. Press down the "Hold to Start" button and hold it down for a few seconds if "PF" is showing in the display to indicate a power failure.

2. Remove all the lint from the lint screen and sort items that give lint from items that pick up lint, such as towels and corduroy, if lint is being left on your loads. Try filling the dryer with smaller loads and removing tissue or paper from pockets, as well.

3. Clean off the lint screen, remove any lint from the exhaust vent, select an air cycle and level the dryer properly if your loads are not drying thoroughly. Level the dryer by propping up the front a few inches with a wood block and twisting the feet underneath to make it higher or lower. Repeat on the back.

4. Add smaller loads of laundry to the dryer and dry according to the manufacturer's labels on the clothing if your clothes are shrinking or wrinkling.
