Whirlpool Dryer

Whirlpool WED97HEXL Electric Dryer

Model # WED97HEXL

Steam-equipped dryers add a water valve and a nozzle, and a slow leak there shows up as damp patches inside the drum between cycles rather than as a puddle on the floor.

Owners can shut off the water supply to the dryer to confirm the leak stops, which is useful diagnostic information. Valve replacement and any electrical work belong to a technician with the machine isolated.

Key Features

  • Large-capacity electric dryer with steam cycles

FAQ

Whirlpool WED97HEXL Electric Dryer FAQ

On a steam model, the water valve is probably weeping. Turning off the supply tap confirms it quickly.

It often is. Shared ducts restrict airflow and let lint accumulate faster, and both dryers will take longer to dry.
