The correct strain relief for the Whirlpool WED5100HW dryer is a 3/4" (19 mm) UL Listed strain relief. To attach the strain relief, follow these steps: 1. Remove the terminal block cover by removing the hold-down screw. 2. Put the tabs of the two clamp sections into the hole below the terminal block opening, with one tab pointing up and the other pointing down. 3. Tighten the strain relief screws just enough to hold the two clamp sections together. 4. Put the power supply cord through the strain relief, making sure that the wire insulation is inside the strain relief. 5. The strain relief should have a tight fit with the dryer cabinet and be in a horizontal position. 6. Do not further tighten the strain relief screws at this point. Regarding the model number WED5100HW3, it does not have a water line for wrinkle control and sanitizing.

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 WED5100HW 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 drying the clothes properly?

One common reason could be that the lint screen needs cleaning. Accumulated lint can obstruct airflow, leading to inefficient drying. Make sure to clean the lint screen before every use.

Why is my dryer making loud noises during operation?

This could be due to a loose or worn-out drum belt. Check if the drum belt is properly tensioned and in good condition. If not, it may need to be replaced.

How can I prevent clothes from getting tangled or twisted inside the dryer?

To avoid clothes tangling, try to load similar fabrics and sizes together. In addition, ensure the dryer is not overloaded, as overcrowding can cause items to tangle. Properly shaking out the clothes before placing them in the dryer can also help.

What should I do if my dryer is not starting?

First, check if the dryer is securely plugged into an electrical outlet. If it is, make sure the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Sometimes, resetting the circuit breaker can solve the issue. If the problem persists, there could be an electrical fault, and it's recommended to contact a technician for further assistance.

How can I minimize the wrinkles on my clothes after drying?

To reduce wrinkling, promptly remove the clothes from the dryer at the end of the cycle. If you're unable to do so immediately, select the Wrinkle Shield™ option on your dryer. This feature tumbles clothes intermittently after the cycle ends to prevent wrinkles from setting in. Additionally, folding or hanging clothes as soon as they're dry can also help reduce wrinkling.
