Q: What are the available modes and programs on the WHIRLPOOL AWZ 899 dryer and how to use them?

Available programs of the WHIRLPOOL AWZ 899 dryer: Cotton Program: Designed for cotton fabrics and durable textiles. This program ensures complete and efficient drying. You can select two sub-options: "Iron Ready" if you wish to iron the laundry, or "Put Away Ready" for a more thorough drying. Synthetic Program: Suitable for synthetic fiber textiles. Uses a lower temperature to protect the fibers and limit damage. Delicates Program: Ideal for fine textiles, lingerie, and delicate fabrics. Uses gentle heat and is recommended only for small loads. Quick Program: Allows for quick drying for a small amount of laundry when you need immediate results. Delayed Start: Function that allows you to schedule the start of the cycle for a later time according to your needs. Anti-Crease: At the end of the selected drying cycle, the drum turns without heat to prevent creasing if you cannot remove the laundry immediately. How to use the programs: Select the appropriate program for your laundry by turning the selection knob on the control panel. Place your laundry while respecting the maximum load of 8 kg for this model. Press the Start/Pause button to start the cycle. The device displays the remaining time, and you can at any time return to the zero position on the selection knob to stop operation. Practical tips: Always dry a full load to optimize energy efficiency. Clean the lint filter at the end of each cycle to maintain good drying performance. The condenser should be cleaned at least every three months. To save time and energy, use the maximum spin speed of your washing machine (ideally 800 rpm or more) before drying. In case of excessively long drying, check that the filter is not clogged and that the condenser does not have lint buildup.

Question 3

The FFT M22 9X3B EE tumble dryer displays a filter cleaning alert even after cleaning - How can I clear it?

Accepted Answer

The filter cleaning alert light remaining on after cleaning is normal operation. According to the Whirlpool FFT M22 9X3B EE manual, after cleaning the filters, the indicator light stays on; it will automatically disappear when you start a new drying cycle. Therefore, there is nothing to 'clear' manually.

However, make sure you have performed a thorough cleaning of both filters. The tumble dryer is equipped with two separate filters:

Door filter: Open the door, pull the filter up, and then fully open it. Clean it under running water or with a vacuum cleaner to remove all lint residues. Dry it before reinserting it, ensuring it is properly inserted and aligned with the seal.
Lower filter: Open the lower cover, grasp the handle, and pull out the filter. Open the back wall of the filter and clean the lint from the internal surface of the grid. Every month, also check the filter housing: if lint is accumulated on the metal fins, clean them with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a brush, using vertical movements. Reinsert the filter, then close the lower cover. Ensure that the air intake grille is clear.

If after a complete cleaning of both filters the alert persists beyond starting a new cycle, or if the tumble dryer does not start, this may indicate a deep obstruction of the airflow. Check that the air intake grille at the front of the tumble dryer is not blocked. In this case, or if the filter sensor still does not reset, contact Whirlpool customer service.

Question 4

Question 6

Why is my Whirlpool WGD4800BQ dryer not heating and how can I resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

If your Whirlpool WGD4800BQ dryer is not heating, several checks need to be performed in a logical order. Start with electrical power issues, as this dryer requires a 240 V supply to operate correctly. First, check that the two fuses in your home are not blown or that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Electric dryers use two fuses or breakers: the drum may turn without heat if one of the two is faulty. Replace both fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem persists after this check, contact a qualified electrician, as incorrect 240 V supply may be the cause.

Next, check that the lint filter is clean. A clogged lint filter can significantly increase drying times and affect air circulation, thus reducing heating efficiency. Clean the filter before each load by pulling it straight up and rolling the lint off with your fingers, without rinsing or washing it. About every 6 months, also clean the filter with a nylon brush and hot water to remove any detergent or fabric softener residues that may accumulate.

Inspect the venting system and duct. This is crucial for proper heating operation. Run the dryer for 5 to 10 minutes and place your hand under the outside vent flap to check for air circulation. If you do not feel air movement, it means the vent duct is clogged with lint or blocked. The duct should be 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter, as short as possible, and have no more than four 90° bends, as each bend reduces airflow. Also, check that the duct is not crushed or deformed. Clean the venting system and the exterior vent flap grille to remove any lint buildup.

Ensure that the dryer door is fully closed and that you press firmly on the “PUSH to START” button without releasing it until the drum starts to turn. A poorly closed door or insufficient activation of the start can prevent heating. Additionally, make sure that the ambient temperature of the room where the dryer is installed does not drop below 7°C (45°F), as the proper functioning of all programs requires an ambient temperature above this threshold.

If you have selected the “Fluff Air” cycle or the “No Heat” temperature setting, there will naturally be no heating. Select an ACCUDRY™ automatic drying program with an appropriate temperature setting (High, Medium, or Low) according to your type of laundry. Finally, do not overload the dryer: clothes should be able to tumble freely for good hot air circulation.

If after checking all these items the problem persists, consult a certified Whirlpool service technician. The issue may be related to a faulty heating element, a defective thermostat, or a blown thermal fuse, which can only be diagnosed by a professional. For gas dryers (although the WGD4800BQ model is an electric or gas version depending on your setup), also check that the gas line shut-off valve is open.
