Whirlpool Dryer

Whirlpool WED4720RW Electric Dryer

Model # WED4720RW

A flexible vent hose crushed behind the machine is the single most common installation fault, and it costs drying time on every load. Rigid or semi-rigid duct with wide sweeps performs far better than a concertinaed foil hose.

Owners can pull the dryer out and check the duct route. A squeal from the drum usually means glides or the idler pulley, which is a technician repair with the machine unplugged.

FAQ

Whirlpool WED4720RW Electric Dryer FAQ

It is common but it is the worst performer, especially when crushed against the wall. Rigid or semi-rigid ducting with gentle bends dries faster and traps less lint.

Usually drum glides, rollers or the idler pulley. None are expensive, but the noise generally worsens until it is addressed.
