Whirlpool WED75HEFW Dryer Customer Reviews
Easy to
I have always had top load washers and dryers and was reluctant to buy a front load. I have had the dryer for 3 months now and am very satisfied with it. I would definitely consider front load on my next purchase. I will always consider Whirlpool for any appliance purchase. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Whirlpool Dryer
Learning all the settings have been a bit confusing with this digital dryer, but we are getting used to it. So far I love the dryer and am hoping to purchase a new washer to go with it this month. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Love this Drier
I bought this just recently after our house had a major electrical problem because the neutral wire on the utility pole came loose in a wind storm. So glad I did, its now fun to do laundry [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Outstanding dryer - efficient, quiet, and attractive!
We have had our Whirlpool dryer for a month now, and we are extremely happy with it. It's efficient, runs quietly and smoothly, and features an attractive design as well. Outstanding quality and value! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
My New Front Loader
Since my purchase of the new washer dryer my laundry times have been cut in half. I would highly recommend this pair to anyone wanting to switch from your conventional washer dryer. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Great dryer
Best purchase we have ever made!!! Bought this a month ago and we love it ! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Great dryer!
Really like the different drying options and the large size! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Solid product
Only buy whirlpool duet. Does the job it is supposed to, and if needs repairing, not very often, inexpenssive
WP Dryer
Love the capacity - what was two loads, is now one 🙂 [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Love the stack feature Dave's space
I've owned a few Whirlpool products in my life and so far hands down this set we bought has to be the best hands down, very quiet, easy to use and we can now wash our vintage quilts and not damage them [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Love it!
This is my second set of a Whirlpool W & D. I am confident in the product .
Great Machine
I've bought the most expensive washers/dryers available. Did not use most of features. Decided to get basic features and I'm totally satisfied with my choice. Save your money and take kids to Disney World. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
So far, so good!
This was a replacement for a Whirlpool hybrid dryer. The hybrid dryer was a disaster -- slow drying times, error codes, repairs. It took a while, but to their credit, Whirlpool allowed us to return the hybrid dryer. We decided to stick with Whirlpool and move to the traditional dryer in the same family. The replacement has worked like a charm. It is easy to use, dries clothes quickly and efficiently, and has given us no problems at all. We recommend this dryer. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Such a change to what I'm used to
I purchased this item not only due to the name recognition but also due to the claims of being energy efficient. Wow, what a difference in my electric bill, my old unit must have been a electricity gobbler. Not only that, but the dryer vent outside the house is still as clean as the day I installed the new dryer. I usually have to clear it weekly. The screen on the unit gets all the lint and debris that is on the clothes. Makes my life simpler. Thank you! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Great dryer and easy to use
We bought this a month ago. It's was a great replacement dryer. It seems to be built better and stronger than my old machine. We went with Whirlpool because it was made in the USA and has a good reputation. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Whirlpool 7.4 cu.ft. Electric Dryer
Received this dryer on 01-05-17 and installed it the next day. My wife loves the different features it has and is very happy with how well it dries everything; especially the heavy towels. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
A Really Nice Dryer
We ordered this dryer as part of a stackable set (WED75HEFW & WFW75HEFW) because our laundry room at our new house is so small. The delivery men installed it and it is a dream come true. We've used the set now for a month and couldn't be happier. A great deal!
Great dryer. just love it.
We purchased this Whirlpool electric dryer as a matching set , along with a Whirlpool front load washer & are very happy with both.The dryer drys our clothes in less time than our old unit & is energy star rated. Both machines are stylish , GOOD LOOKING & are a compliment to our Home . Both machines had just the right amount of features the we needed & not a lot of bells & Whistles that we would never use. Both units were priced right for us ,& we think were of great value for the money spent . Both machines run nice & quiet , which was important to us because there located in our immedeate living area. Best of all the Whirlpool brand is made here in the States, so our purchase is good for the economy , keeps our people working & the money stays here in the good ol' USA.

Thumbs UP!
Recent purchase! Happy with performance! Not complicated to use. Reasonably quiet. Note: The inside lint filter is of a very fine mesh, so hopefully the lower compartment won't accumulate lint dust too quickly. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Love my dryer
I bought this dryer again when I recently moved. I previously bought this dryer about a year and a half ago. I moved and left it to be sold with my condo. Bought the washer also and use it as a stackable unit. Has just the right features not too many, and not complicated. They work wonderfully and liked them so much, I didn't consider anything else when I needed to buy again. Highly recommend [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

We went from a 20+ year old washer to this one and, of course, it is so much better. I get my wash done in half the time since it holds so many clothes. Also it holds comforters and sleeping bags that would never have fit in the old washer. That is a huge convenience. The clothes are coming out very clean. One very minor complaint is that the long legs of my son's jeans tend to get twisted up but that is something I can live with!
working good
The check vent light is very sensitive. I cleaned the vents out and itt still shows up on some cycles. The unit gets a little hotter on the side than my old Hotpoint did. Good thing I have lots of clearance! All-in-All it is a good unit that I can buy parts for (If I ever need them) at the local Appliance store. Tha is why I bought WP instead of the others [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Great dryer, my favorite feature is the wrinkle guard
I bought this about a month ago, and I am very happy. I love that it senses when the clothes are dry, so it doesn't overheat them. Energy saving AND clothes saving! Also, I love the wrinkle shield. For the times I can't pull the clothes out right away, which sadly is more often than not, it will occasionally spin them so they don't wrinkle. LOVE! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Best washer and Dryer
This is our second Whirlpool unit, works great. The only thing is we opted not to get the steam option. Because it wrinkles the clothes and we never use the option. The washer cleans so well. Many good reviews, so we stayed away from the other high priced units that have many service issues. Check Craigslist and other resale websites, you never see Whirlpool.
Amazing Dryer
This is by far the very best dryer I have ever owned. I love the way it drys my laundry. It takes some getting used to because I have never had a dryer that dries my clothes so fast. I noticed that my clothes don't get wrinkled if I leave them in after they're dry. I love it and it looks so good too. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Excellent Buy,
I bought this dryer a month ago, when my old appliance stopped working.It was such a great buy and even although it was not as sophisticated as my former dryer, I am so pleased with its features. I have always felt Whirlpool appliances most reliable, and continue to recommend them! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Quick drying time!
I went from an old dryer that took an hour to dry a medium load to this wonderful dryer that has my clothes dry in no time. I love all the features and settings. The only thing I wish it had was a light inside. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
We Love It 🙂
We've been using our new dryer for about a month. We love it - although the settings are a little different from the Whirlpool we replaced (they have to be set higher to get the same level of dryness). It's quiet and the large capacity makes it so much faster to complete laundry. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Great features!
I've purchased this around three weeks ago, and I'm so very happy with it. It's quite and my clothes comes out fluffy. I haven't used the quick dry yet, so I can't speak on that yet. Im pleased with my purchase. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Yes i just purchased this and love it! New and innovative. My first new dryer in 24 years. By the way my last dryer was a whirlpool and I replaced the heating element once and it still lasted 24 years- that is why I purchased a new one. great value from Home Depot!
Amazing purchase!
I recently bought this machine for daily laundry use. It has so far lived up to and exceeded my standards. It has a quiet operation and plenty of options for dry cycles to meet my families needs. I recommend this highly. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
WE are very pleased with our electric dryer.
We made the purchase about 2 months ago and have been very pleased with our purchase. We will be moving soon and will not be taking these appliances with us but the Whirlpool brand is very high on our list of products to buy. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Dryer works great.
I have used the dryer for a month and it works great. Installers did not reverse the door opening correctly but that is now resolved. We have stacked washer/dryer units and it's a bit difficult, as a shorter person, to see the controls way at the top. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Love my new washer & dryer! But more than that, I loved the fact that Home Depot delivered to my house and set it up for me. The guys from Home Depot were truly the best in knowledge and professionalism! I will only have Home Depot come out and purchase their items. Thank you for a great experience.
Love it!
I was so happy to get a new dryer! We didn't need it yet but when the washer went out I just decided to get a new set. This dryer is 100 times better than my old one. It dries so quickly and is super quiet. I almost don't even know it is running! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Love this Dryer!
This dryer is so quiet when it runs, you don't notice it. I haven't had to do any extra drying time for any load. It is very efficient. I have it on a pedestal base and the height is perfect for me. No more bending and twisting my poor back. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Love the wrinkle shield !
Love our new dryer, we replaced a Whirlpool duet set that was still in great shape, so we have passed that down to our son. I love the wrinkle shield feature and the end load signal. I have no doubt that it will be as durable as our first. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Works great!
We replaced our top loader from a different brand (due to poor performance) with Whirlpool's front loading washer and dryer set. Clothes are so much cleaner, and there isn't dirty residue left behind like the other brand did. So pleased! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
It drys well but I really hate the touch controls
The touch controls are finicky. I have difficulty with it and honestly if I could swap it and get another type of machine of the same size and price I might. Capacity and performance otherwise is great. My issue is that almost every time I try to turn it on it fails to sense my finger pressure (and heat?) so I have to hold the "buttons" for a few extra seconds and repeat my "push". The turn dial is digital but works well. I'd love a more manual control but obviously nothing is like that anymore. It's great when it works, but very frustrating. Not a good feeling after only two weeks. I bought this brand to support made in America over other options in this price range. I also hoped that service would be easier over other brands if needed and liked that I am able to reach/see the controls more easily than others when stacked. I'm just fearing that inevitable breakdown of this apparently fragile touch control to render the entire machine useless. Ugh....
Quiet and dries quickly
I bought this a month ago and so far it is working well. My only complaint would be that the control panel is a bit hard to see when the dryer is stacked on the washer. I live in a condo and limited space makes it necessary to stack them. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
A nice washer and dryer set.
I like the simple features the washer and dryer have. The quick cycles are good. I replaced my Whirlpool set that was only 6 years old, they need to make these to last longer. I was disappointed they no longer offer the sets in red. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Dries very well
Like it slot but would not recommend it for stacking. We stacked mine, taking extreme measure to insure it was level and precisely place on top of the washer. It walks. It moves to the left. We are placing it on the floor this weekend. Thankfully I have the room for it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
New dryer
Bought almost a month ago pretty happy with purchase takes. Drying seems good still trying to figure out what works best so I don't have to run it twice on smaller loads. Happy with purchase and that it is American made. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I love the look of the dryer. It prompted me to redecorate my laundry room. The dryer works pretty well, except the dry sensing cycle isn't nearly as good as on my old Whirlpool dryer or any Whirlpool I have ever owned. Sensing dryness was always a big plus in buying whirlpool. Sometimes I have to set it again on time dry to get a load fully dry because it thinks the clothes are dry. Maybe it is me, maybe I need to read the directions.
Dryer has a lot of nice features
Bought largest washer I could and then a dryer that had larger capacity. Even though the dryer has a larger capacity than the washer, apparently its not big enough as it has a hard time drying a full load of clothes. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

So far so good. Drys my clothes. I've tried a few setting and they seem to work. No issues with the software so far. The door opens fine, the lint screen comes in and out, and the cycle end signal works. I hope that it continues to work this well for years to come.

Great product, lots of options, service men installed quickly and were very friendly. They even switched the door to the left side without having to be asked. Dries clothes quickly. The only thing it's missing for me is an inside light.
Nice dryer for the home
bought washer/dryer for my new home. Dryer works great. has all the basic features I need for standard family usage. Looks nice too. Quiet enough as well and energy efficient. Gets the job done and so recommended. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Quick dry and in a hurray.
I really like this dryer for its efficiency. The quick dry feature and the wrinkle free are on par. Like most people these days, we are multitasking. When I forget that I have clothes in the dryer, the wrinkle free keep the clothes warm. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Great
Ever since I purchased my Whirlpool front loader washing machine I have wanted the matching dryer, so my old dryer finally quit & I went and got the matching dryer. Have all Whirlpool appliances. They are the only brand I will buy. Hometown Appliance in Stillwater, OK is the best! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
No longer waiting for a dryer
I bought my new dryer a week ago. I'm still adjusting to it, but I'm glad I no longer have wet clothes waiting for the dryer to finish drying the previous load. On the normal load it is normally dry within the hour, before my next washed load is ready for the dryer. I purchased this machine due to medical issues, so with the stand it raises the machine up so that I no longer agrevate my medical condition. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Better Not Stacked
I love that this washer and drier is available with a stacking kit but the buttons are very high as is lifting the clothes in and out isn't easy. Drier functions well in the first months for me. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Almost a great unit
We have this unit for about a month now and have to say that we are overall happy with the purchase. This unit was a replacement of a unit that we had for almost 11 years. The good, it was just like using our old machine. It was almost as if we had had this machine all this time. The build quality, the pricing and the features were all what we expected from a whirlpool machine. The bad; this machine has been stacked and it is louder than our previous unit, the little chime almost makes it feels as if it were a play toy and for some odd reason the drying rack was not included with the machine. It is now an extra. Overall the machine is very good but it is not great. i felt as if the older Whirlpool duets that I had were better units. Just my opinion. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Matching Dryer
I just bought this as a "Matching" Dryer to the Whirlpool Washer that I bought in September 2016. I didn't realize that the Washer I bought had the "Steam" Option (which I really didn't need when I bought it), so when I bought what I thought was a matching Dryer, I got a Dryer with a "White" Door, while the Washer has a "Chrome" Door. I guess I really needed to read the "Options" better when I was buying the Washer. It also fits on the "Base" of the 12 year old Whirlpool Duet Dryer that I was replacing. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Quick and easy to use.
Great machine, quick and quite. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Great Dryer
I bought this dryer a month ago and it works great. I was skeptical at first about an electric dryer, since I've always had a gas dryer. But I love it and my clothes always come out the perfect dryness. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
So far so good
Reviewed online feedbacks and determined to purchase this item. Used for a month an no problems yet. Wrinkle care takes too long. Too soon to recommend to others. Better wait for a couple of years. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Pretty good
I bought this two weeks ago and once I figured out how to run it I'm liking it better. There were too many options compared to my 22 year old dryer. The owner's manual wasn't as helpful as I'd like it to have been. BUT, now that I've figured it out it's really a great dryer. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Somewhat pleased with my dryer
My former dryer was a 12 year old Whirlpool Duet dryer. My new Whirlpool 7.4 cu. ft. Electric Dryer with Quick Dry Cycle doesn't seem to dry as fast or as thoroughly as my old dryer. I absolutely hate the sensitivity of the on/off/start buttons that are audible when even brushed against unintentionally; the sound is totally annoying. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I don't think the sensor works properly for moisture especially on small loads. i'm always getting damp clothes out of the dryer. Yes, my vent is clear. Mine has also developed a nice, LOUD, rattle when first starting up. I opened it up to find out that the vent itself has a single screw holding the vent pipe to the vent of the dryer. Not the quality I would expect. It's fixable, but I imagine not everyone is comfortable with taking these things apart.
No Interior Light
Unit is rather noisy, does not have an interior light. Wish the controls had more bottom side options. for the dial. Hard to read when stacked. On the bright side, love the option of wrinkle reducer. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Disappointed that there is no light inside.
Works good [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Ecoboost mode is a joke
Can't believe for something supposed to be HE this raised our electric bill by $200.00 by changing it to the Ecoboost mode. Obviously we changed it back, but all that mode did was make it run 84mins vs 45, and after 84mins everything was still damp. We tried it over a course of 3 months and when we got our electric bill adjustment we had used $600.00 more electricity than the previous quarter. The first and second quarter we had this drier we ran it normal setting and the second quarter was even summer months. Third quarter I changed it to the Ecoboost setting as we were doing laundry every day due to children's sickness. Totally changed my outlook on this product. We love our whirlpool dishwasher but I would never buy another drier from them.
Time consuming
If you use a programmed drying cycle, this takes lots of time. It does have a cycle in which you can set the number of minutes you wish the dryer to run. This is definitely preferable. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

It worked great for awhile but inferior soap dispenser area cracked and has been broken after a month of. Ownership. The spin and drain cycle has not worked properly . The tub area and rubber always smells like mildew. I run it with just bleach and leave it open to dry but it still smells.

This is a terrible dryer. DO NOT BUY! I installed it a month ago, it has yet to completely dry a single load of laundry. I have tried all of the settings. ECOBOOST-everything is damp. NORMAL-medium heat more dry-sheets and most clothes are wet. NORMAL-High heat more dry-run twice for over an hour and a half, towels and baby sleep sacks are still wet. If you want clothes that are mostly dry, and uses way more energy then this is the dryer for you. It is installed on an exterior wall with a ridged duct that heads straight out of the wall behind the dryer, no bends, no long runs, no clogged vents. And Home Depots garbage return policy only allows 3 days to return it. Great $800 later and I have to go buy another dryer. Needless to say I won't be buying a Whirlpool and definitely not from Home Depot.

What a disappointment!!! Dryer delivered on March 25, 2017 and I have NOT been able to dry clothes yet!!! Service tech coming today, April 12!! Dryer not heating to dry clothes.

This is the worst dryer in the world. It is soooo loud. When they installed it I said, something is wrong it is too loud. The installer said "oh, that is just the first time it runs". It was a lie. I would have insisted they take it out with them! The service guy came again today and said that they are just loud machines! We called whirlpool and they refused to do anything. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
