Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Wrinkle Shield™ option?
A: Wrinkle Shield™ helps prevent wrinkles by tumbling clothes periodically for up to 150 minutes after the main cycle ends. This is especially useful when you can’t unload the dryer right away.
Q: What does the AutoSensing feature do?
A: AutoSensing uses internal sensors to monitor moisture and temperature. The dryer stops automatically when the load is dry, helping to conserve energy and prevent over-drying.
Q: How does the "Check Vent" indicator work?
A: The "Check Vent" light turns on when lint or debris builds up in the exhaust vent. This indicates the vent needs cleaning to maintain proper airflow and drying performance.
Q: What is the "Air Only" cycle used for?
A: The Air Only cycle uses no heat and is ideal for fluffing or refreshing items, removing dust, or reducing wrinkles in clothes that have already dried.
Q: How long does the Quick Dry cycle take?
A: The Quick Dry cycle is designed for small loads and typically takes less than 30 minutes. Actual time may vary depending on the load size and fabric type.
Q: What type of door and lint filter does this dryer have?
A: The dryer features a hamper-style door that opens downward, making it easier to load and unload. The lint screen is located on top of the dryer for easy access.
Q: Clothes aren't drying completely. What should I check?
A:
- Vent system: Make sure the exhaust vent is not clogged and the lint screen is clean.
- Lint screen maintenance: Clean it regularly with hot water and a nylon brush to remove any residue from softeners or detergents.
- Load size: Avoid overfilling. Clothes need room to tumble for even drying.
- Moisture sensors: If AutoSensing is ending the cycle too soon, check and clean the moisture sensors to ensure accurate readings.
Q: Why is the dryer making a loud noise?
A:
- Thumping: Could be an unbalanced load.
- Persistent loud noise: May indicate a worn belt, damaged drum roller, or another mechanical issue requiring service.
Q: Is the WGD4307SW a convertible vented dryer?
A: No. This is a standard vented electric dryer and cannot be converted into a ventless or recirculating model.
Q: Can I dry clothes that have been exposed to oil?
A: No. Do not dry items that have had oil on them (e.g., cooking oil, motor oil, or cleaning products). These items pose a fire risk and should be air-dried instead.
