Stains in the drum of a dryer can be caused by various factors, such as unstable dyes in clothes or buildup of laundry detergent and fabric softener. These stains are not harmful to the dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. To address this issue, you can follow these steps: 1. Cleaning the Dryer Interior: - Use a nonflammable cleaner or a mild hand dish detergent mixed with warm water to clean the drum. - Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel. - Alternatively, you can use a microfiber cloth and warm water to clean the drum. - Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry the drum. 2. Removing Accumulated Lint: - Clean the lint screen located either in the door opening or the top of the dryer. - Remove lint from the screen by rolling it off with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the screen. - Push the lint screen firmly back into place. - Clean the space where the lint screen is located using a vacuum to remove any accumulated lint. 3. As-needed Cleaning: - Every 6 months or more frequently, if the screen becomes clogged due to residue buildup, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush. - Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. - Wet both sides of the lint screen with hot water. - Scrub the lint screen with a nylon brush and hot water to remove residue buildup. - Rinse the screen with hot water. - Thoroughly dry the lint screen with a clean towel and reinstall it in the dryer.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Whirlpool WED4950HW below.

What is a condenser dryer?

A condenser dryer is a dryer in which condensation ends up in a reservoir.

What is a drain dryer?

A drain dryer is a dryer in which the warm air and condensation are drained through a hose.

What is the best thing to do about a smelly dryer?

It is best to wipe the dryer drum with a damp cloth and some lemon cleaner.

There is a burning smell from my dryer, now what?

Check the following: - That the fluff filter is clean. - That the bottom of the dryer is free of dust. - That the drain hose is clean. If the above does not help, a mechanic should be called in.

Why is my dryer not starting?

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the electrical outlet and the dryer is properly connected to a power source. Ensure that the door is fully closed as the dryer will not start if the door is ajar.

Why is my dryer not heating up?

Verify that the dryer is connected to a 240-volt power supply, as insufficient power can prevent heating. Ensure that the selected cycle has a heat option, as some cycles only use air to tumble the clothes without applying heat. Clean the lint screen and check for any blockages in the venting system, as restricted airflow can also impact heating.

Why is my dryer taking much longer than usual to dry clothes?

Clean the lint screen before each load, as a clogged lint screen can reduce airflow and extend drying time. Ensure that the dryer is not overloaded, as this can impede proper air circulation. Check the exhaust vent outside your home for any obstructions, such as lint buildup or debris. If the venting system is obstructed, it may be necessary to clean or replace it.

Why is my dryer making loud or unusual noises?

Inspect the load inside the dryer for any objects, such as coins or buttons, that may be causing the noise. Verify that the dryer is level and stable on the floor, as an uneven surface can lead to vibrations and noise. Check for any loose screws or bolts and tighten them accordingly. If the noise persists, contacting a service technician may be necessary.

Why is my dryer drum not rotating?

Ensure that the dryer is turned on and the selected cycle is appropriate for the load. Check if the door is fully closed, as the dryer will not operate if the door is not securely shut. Examine the drive belt for any signs of damage or wear, as a broken or loose belt can prevent the drum from rotating. If required, consult a professional for belt replacement.
