SMART FEATURES
Smart Features help make your everyday a little more efficient by
letting you remotely monitor, manage, and maintain your dryer.
Remote Start & Pause
What it does:
Allows you to send remote control of your dryer
to your smartphone or mobile device via the Whirlpool™ app.
What it does for you:
Lets you manage when to start your
dryer cycle and when your laundry gets done. Have freshly dried
laundry when you’re ready for it – not just when you’re home
to wait.
Cycle Progress
What it does:
Gives you an up-to-the-minute look at your dryer
cycle progress and remaining cycle time from anywhere.
What it does for you:
Relieves you of having to visit the laundry
room to check on the status of your dryer cycle.
Clothes Dry Notification (Opt-In)
What it does:
Your dryer will send you a push notification
when its current cycle is complete.
What it does for you:
Alerts you precisely when the dryer is
done, so you can get the next load started and move on to
other things.
If you can’t unload the dryer right away, or are away from
home when a cycle finishes, you can remotely activate Wrinkle
Shield™ cycles to help your clothes stay fresh until you’re able
to get to them.
Specialty Cycles & My Cycle
What it does:
Allows you to browse additional dryer cycles
available in the Whirlpool™ app and download a cycle to the
dryer with the Download & Go™ option. You can also create
and save your own customized cycles.
What it does for you:
Takes the guesswork out of selecting the
optimal dryer settings for garments and household items that
require specialized care.
Quiet Mode
What it does:
Lets you turn off the tones and beeps coming
from your dryer.
What it does for you:
Allows you to do laundry without
disturbing anyone else in the household.
Issue Alerts (Opt-In)
What it does:
Sends you a push notification if something has
gone wrong.
What it does for you:
Gives you a heads-up, and provides
guidance to fix simple issues through videos and step-by-step
instructions.
If the issue is more complex, you can e-mail or call our service
center directly from the Whirlpool™ app.
SMART ABOUT ENERGY
Your Smart Dryer can monitor and respond to changing energy
demand levels on the power grid.
Smart Delay (Opt-In)
What it does:
When energy demand is high, it gives you
the option to delay starting a dryer cycle until demand levels
are lower.
What it does for you:
You can feel good about giving a little
back to the environment. Some consumers may even see a lower
energy bill.
If you need to begin a dryer cycle immediately, you can override
a Smart Delay. The dryer will return to energy monitoring on the
next cycle.
GET STARTED
Refer to the Quick Connect packet that came with your dryer,
or see the “Connectivity Setup” section on pages 10 and 11
of this Use & Care Guide and follow the instructions to get
connected.
