Frequently Asked Questions - MKR62GWTWB White-Westinghouse

How do I install the MKR62GWTWB tumble dryer?

Place the dryer on a level surface with at least 10 cm clearance on all sides. Connect the power cord to a grounded 220-240 V outlet. For condenser models, ensure the water tank is properly inserted. Refer to the installation manual for detailed steps.

How do I clean the lint filter?

Open the door and pull out the lint filter. Remove lint by hand or with a soft brush. Rinse under running water if needed, then dry thoroughly. Replace filter before each cycle to ensure efficient drying.

Why is the dryer not heating?

Check if the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is on. Ensure the lint filter and condenser (if applicable) are clean. The heating element may need replacement if the problem persists.

How often should I clean the condenser unit?

Clean the condenser unit every 6 months or when performance reduces. Remove the lower front panel, pull out the condenser, rinse with water, and dry. Reinsert and secure the panel.

What do the error codes mean?

Common codes: E1 (door open), E2 (overheating), E3 (water tank full), E4 (drain issue). Refer to the manual for full list. Press Reset or power cycle after fixing.

Can I dry wool or delicate items?

Yes, use the Wool or Delicates program. Place items in a mesh bag and select low heat. Remove immediately after cycle to prevent shrinkage.

How do I prevent overdrying?

Use the Auto Dry function or select a shorter timed program. Clean lint filter regularly. For smaller loads, reduce drying time. Overdrying can damage fabrics.

Why is the dryer making unusual noise?

Lint buildup or a foreign object (e.g., coin) in the drum can cause noise. Check the drum for items, clean the lint filter, and ensure the dryer is leveled. If noise persists, contact service.

How do I empty the water tank?

Pull out the water tank from the front panel, empty it into a sink, and reinsert. Ensure it clicks into place. The tank should be emptied after every cycle to avoid overfilling.

Is the dryer safe to leave unattended?

operating instructions

about the control panel of the dryer

You can locate the model number on the label located in front of the left side of the door opening

important: clean the lint filter every time you use the dryer.

a. temperature (Not all of the models have all of these characteristics)

high (cottons) Recommended for heavy cotton items such as jeans or comforters

medium (permanent press garments) Recommended for synthetic fabrics, items marked with "permanent press".

delicates In some models. For delicate articles of synthetic fabric and labeled as tumble dry low.

just air (no heat) To fluff articles without using heat. Use the timed dry cycle.

The automatic cycles automatically detect the dryness level of the fabrics. Select Less Dry if you want your garments to remain slightly damp at the end of the dry cycle. Select More Dry if you want them to feel dryer. The timed cycles run for a specified period of time.

b. drying cycles (Not all of the models have all of these characteristics)

cottons For cotton fabrics and the majority of woven fabrics. For the majority of loads, select Optimum. (in some models).

permanent press For articles that do not wrinkle, permanent press and delicates, as well as some knit articles.

delicates For delicate articles, special care fabrics, and knit items.

timed dry This option allows you to select the time based on the moisture or water content of the clothing.

dewrinkle This option helps to reduce wrinkles to a minimum in garments that have very little moisture.

air fluff fluff or refresh gements, woven fabrics and pillows that are already dry. This option adds 10 minutes of drying without heat.

c. start button

Close the dryer door and press the Start button. If you open the door during operation, the drum will stop rotating and the dryer will stop. To restart the dryer, close the door and select Start to complete the cycle.

note: Drying times vary according to load size, type of fabric of each garment, clothing moisture level, and cleanliness of the exhaust ducts and filter.

d. option for prolonged anti-wrinkle dry (in some models)

Use this option to minimize wrinkles in clothing. It provides approximately 15 minutes of tumbling without heat after the clothing is dry. This option can only be used with the “cottons” and “permanent press” cycles.

If you are using the end of cycle alarm knob and select the option for prolonged anti-wrinkle dry, you will hear a sound at the end of the cycle and various times during the prolonged anti-wrinkle dry cycle. This will remind you that it is time to remove the garments.

If the prolonged anti-wrinkle dry option is not lit, the dryer will stop when the timer gets to the prolonged anti-wrinkle dry mark on the cycle dial.

e. end of cycle alarm (in some models)

This signal will sound just before the end of the cycle to remind you to remove the garments. In some models, you cannot regulate the sound level of the signal.

note:

- Remove the garments in a timely manner once the signal sounds.

- Use this option when drying knitted fabrics, polyester, and permanent press items. These fabrics must be removed to avoid wrinkles.

automatic cycle signal (in some models)

At the end of each cycle, there are approximately 15 min. of tumbling without heat after the clothing is dry. A reminder signal will sound periodically during this lapse of time to remind you to remove the garments.

loading and using the dryer

Always follow the manufacturer care tag for the fabric when you wash and dry clothing.

advice for sorting and loading clothing

• As a general rule, if the clothing is appropriately sorted for the washer, it is appropriately sorted for the dryer as well. Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load of clothing has begun to warm. They can cause stains.
• Do not overload the dryer. This will waste energy and cause wrinkles. Do not dry the following articles: Articles made of fiberglass, wool, those covered in rubber, plastics, with plastic trims or parts, or those filled with foam.

models with sensor dry

This function is activated only in the automatic cycles (COTTONS, PERMANENT PRESS and DELICATES).

The Dryness Sensor provides greater accuracy in the drying process than in standard machines, resulting in shorter dry times and better care of the garments.

While the clothing spins in the drum, it touches the Dryness Sensor.

The sensor stops the heat cycle as soon as the clothing has reached the dryness level; it will stop regardless of the cycle and/or time selected, thereby saving energy.

models with led lights

The drum light is LED.

It must be replaced by a qualified technician.

models with light bulb

Before replacing the bulb of the rotating drum, make sure to disconnect the dryer from the power outlet or to disconnect the dryer from your house's power distribution panel, removing the fuse or breaking the electrical circuit.

Place your hand on the top of the dryer opening from inside the drum. Remove the bulb and replace it with another of the same size.

dryer care and cleaning

- the exterior. Clean or dust off splatters or cleaning compounds using a damp cloth. The dryer control panel and the finishing can be damaged by some stain removers and grime treatments. Apply these products to the cloth away from the dryer. The cleaning cloth can then be washed and dried normally.

• Damage to your dryer caused by these products is not covered by warranty.

- the lint trap filter

Clean the lint trap filter after every use. Remove it by pulling it in a straight line upward. Run your fingers across the filter. You can get a waxy buildup on the lint trap filter from using fabric softener sheets for the dryer. To remove this buildup, clean the filter screen in warm soapy water.

- Let it dry completely and return it to its place. Do not operate the dryer without the lint trap filter in its place. Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.

- the exhaust duct. Inspect and clean the exhaust duct at least once a year to prevent obstruction. A partially obstructed exhaust duct can lengthen dry time.

1. Turn off the power supply, disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet.
2. Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3. Vacuum the duct with the vacuum hose and reconnect the duct.

• the exhaust vent hood

Check with a mirror that the interior flaps of the hood move freely during operation.

• stainless steel surfaces

To clean the stainless steel surfaces, use a damp cloth with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser appropriate for stainless steel surfaces. Remove the cleaner residue and then dry with a clean cloth.

dryer ventilation

For better performance of your dryer, it must be properly ventilated. The dryer will waste more energy and operate for longer amounts of time if it is not ventilated according to the following specifications:

• Only use a metallic, rigid, or flexible duct.
• Do not use a plastic duct or a duct made of any other flammable material.
  • Install the duct along the shortest possible path to the outside.
• Do not smash or fold the duct.
• Avoid leaning the duct against sharp objects.
