Do laundry at your convenience with a 120V compact dryer that fits in more places and adapts to your space.

Help prevent overdrying with AccuDry™ sensor drying technology that senses when clothes are done and stops the cycle.

Features:

Flexible Installation

With its compact size and standard 120V electrical connection, this dryer helps you fit laundry in more places. Optional wall and floor mounts provide even more space-saving possibilities.

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.

End-of-Cycle Signal

You'll always know when your drying cycle is finished, thanks to the end-of-cycle signal. This helpful tone reminds you when it's time to get clean clothes from the dryer.

Side-Swing Door

Conveniently transfer loads in and out of the dryer with a door that swings out of the way so your clothes are within easy reach.

3.4 cu. ft. Capacity

3.4 cu. ft. capacity provides room to fit your clothes while still being able to fit your space.

Air Dry Cycle

Help prevent heat damage to fabrics. The Air Dry cycle is great for airing, refreshing and loosening up loads without added heat.

Interior Lint Screen

Maintain proper airflow with an interior lint screen that makes it easy to remove lint from the dryer and keep it off your clothes.

Timed Dry

Take control of your time and the dryness level of your load. Set the control for 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes when a damp load needs a little extra dry time or when using a drying rack.

Adjustable Feet

Raise or lower your dryer to the right height for your space with adjustable feet.

Optional Casters

Quickly free up space with casters that let you roll your dryer out of the way when not in use.

✅ Pros

• AccuDry moisture sensor prevents overdrying
  Two built‑in sensors monitor moisture and temperature, shutting off automatically to save energy and protect clothes
• Compact and space-conscious
  With a 120 V plug and 3.4 cu ft capacity, it’s ideal for apartments, RVs, or tight laundry spaces
• Flexible installation options
  Adjustable feet, optional wall or floor mounts, and stackable design give you versatile placement choices
• Quiet and efficient operation
  Users report it's “quiet and easy to use” with smooth drying cycles
• Helpful standard features
  Includes timed-dry, Air Dry cycle for heat-sensitive items, and an end-of-cycle signal—useful extras in a compact package

⚠️ Cons

• Small capacity may require multiple loads
  At 3.4 cu ft, it's significantly smaller than full-size dryers and may mean more frequent cycles in larger households
• Some units experience heating issues
  A few early reviews mention delayed heating or trouble getting warm—likely isolated defects but worth noting
• Back-of-unit lint screen placement
  The lint filter is located inside at the rear, making it less accessible than front-loading models
• Higher cost per cubic foot
  Compact models like this often carry a price tag comparable to larger dryers, which may feel less economical
• Stripped-down cycle selection
  Only three cycles (Perm Press, Timed Dry, Air Dry) and three temperature settings—no steam refresh, sanitize, or fluff options.

🧭 Conclusion

The Whirlpool LDR3822PQ stands out for its smart moisture-sensing drying in a compact, easy-to-place design—perfect for apartments, RVs, or small laundry setups. It’s quiet, flexible, and covers essential drying needs with well-thought features like the Air Dry setting and cycle signal.

However, its limited capacity, basic controls, and occasional heating issues may disappoint larger households or those expecting advanced features. If space is tight and simplicity is key, this model offers solid value. But if you need more load capacity or premium cycle options, considering a full-size or feature-rich dryer might be the better route.
