For service manuals you need to be a paid member. Couldn't find your model number. Several parts sites had wrv986fdem01 listed. Used that model to get the output from the board for refrig fan. P14 pin7 is vcc of 14 vdc, pin4 is dc ground, pin3 is pwm signal.

I, too, may be (no, I AM) a cheapskate. But I have to agree that the service manual should always be provided as a customer service. My wtw5500sq0 started making a lot of noise tonight. While Whirlpool would capture the most revenue tomorrow by my buying a matching set of new machines (NO WAY I'd use a dryer that didn't match my washer), in the long run companies claim my money through support. If I can keep this thing running for another 20 years, I guarantee every washer I ever buy will be a Whirlpool. (Nevermind that a 25 year service life will limit my lifetime purchases to about 3 more washers, if I'm lucky.)

This is a common complaint. There's no good solution I've seen so far. I've considered doing what you're suggesting; note however that there is only one metal screen. The thing behind it that is accumulating lint is a heat exchanger (can't recall of the top of my head if it's the evaporator or condenser).

What I tried doing was installing a better seal between the "hybridcare" filter and that metal screen. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I also tried putting a couple of layers of cheese cloth right onto that metal screen. That worked pretty well, but it was a real pain in the ass to get to stay in place.

Thanks for your feedback. Mine does have two metal mesh screens. If you soom in far you may be able to see it. Maybe its a slightly different model or newer? The second one is directly in front of the heat exchanger. If i come up with a solution I will post it. For now i may just poke a hole in the side of the screen enough to get a small vacuum nozzle in there.

I can't see it in the picture, but I guess it's a revision. My model is a slightly different number. It's sad that they revised the design, but failed to fix the crux of the problem. Let us know if your vacuuming is successful.

It was a little over a year after using the dryer before I noticed some build-up on the fins of the coil behind the last filter screen. After spraying a little water on the lint, I straightened out a paper clip, pushing it through the screen to reach the lint on the fins, gently pulling on the lint to get it to fall off. With the lint being wet, it was easier to get larger chunks to fall off at once. Definitely time consuming and delicate work to avoid damaging the fins.

Since then I religiously vacuum out all three filters after each use of the dryer, and so far I've been able to capture all the lint before it gets beyond the last filter. Not an ideal situation, but since I store our vacuum in the utility room with our washer and dryer, not the end of the world either.

The dryer works really well, so we've been very happy with it so far. Hopefully this issue gets resolved when these units get updated in the future. Having this last screen be removable would seem to be the easiest solution, but I'm guessing the Whirlpool engineers were reluctant to let homeowners have such easy access to the easily damaged fins.

But Thank you for posting your dry times. A while ago I was looking at the viability of heat pump dryers. All I know is hearsay of how long they take to dry, but from sifting through countless reviews of some newer models like the whirlpools, I couldn't really find actual numbers.

Wash times with the matching Whirlpool front load washer are 55 min for standard. The washer has an incredibly high (and well balanced) spin cycle, so it removes much more moisture than what I was accustomed to.

Dryer reports a 1 hour 22 minute cycle time when settings are ECO and both the Heat and Dry levels are set to 4 out of 5 which results in perfectly dry fabric. However, if the dryer does not evaluate the moisture level at 4 out of 5 dry, it just keeps going, so the reported 1 hour 22 minutes can be much longer. On the flip side, it can also be much shorter. Tends to be longer with bulky items, about right with towels, jeans, heavy t shirts & flannel, and shorter with lightweight items such a percale sheets, shirts, etc.

I see no reason not to blast that screen with compressed air or the blower from a shop vac. You will move the lint hopefully to the filter if not it may land someplace where it will not restrict the airflow.

This video is a different model but the idea is the same. I would do a few things differently than the videos.

1 I would be working outdoors

2 Instead of a pressure washer I would use compressed air or a leaf blower wearing a dust mask followed by a garden hose.

I have my units stacked so i had to buy the washer that worked with the dryer. When the service guy was out he told me to stuff the washer as long as you could push your hand through to the back without to much effort. I was skeptical about that. We have been doing that since, it takes two baskets to fill it. The clothes are just as clean and it balances itself better so you can use the highest spin setting. This make a big difference for drying times. Even this two basket load was around 1.5 hours to dry.

I did find that putting the heat setting to one below the highest and the dryness to the lowest setting gives you the lowest dry times and the clothes are plenty dry. Took some playing with.

Walta, if i blow it inward it will be going directly i to the heat exchanger, exactly where you don't want it. My picture doesn't really show the setup that well, i wish it was that easy. I think you nailed it tho, maybe yearly or every other the unit is going to have to be Dissembled and cleaned. Sucks for me the stacked in a closet in a drain pan. And those dryers are heavy! Its just a shame the normal consumer is not going to be able to do this and there dry times will keep increasing until its useless.

They make a coil washing machine with spray gun that i may invest in since I have so many heat pump appliances now. Were heating the whole house on a 12k btu lg mini split (zone 6) and hot water is a 50 gallon heat pump water heater that i have in heat pump only mode since I installed it in August.

When I look at that screen it seems any lint is on the back of the screen and being pushed toward the screen with the coil in the background, it is hard to tell from the photo. It seem they choose to filter the air coming out of the coil with an unclean able screen in front of the filter, does not seem like a good plan to me.

No, the lint you see is on the coils, not the backside of the hardware cloth. It got there through the screen at the drum/ door, and through the double screen at the base of the dryer, and through the hardware cloth, to the coils. If you use compressed air from the outside you will force it further into the coils.

In the drum is a regular style lint filter, the air flows down and to the right from there where it goes through the second cleanable lint filter. After the second filter it goes through two screens towards the coil. Looking at the picture the air/lint goes forward into the coil not the filter.

Checkin in to see if anyone cane up with any better solutions. We have been vacuuming the screen more often. I have not poked a hole in the outer screen because i think it will cause more harm. Im trying to come up with a way to make a hole and then cover it with some kind of screen.

After burning up a compact vent-less GE dryer just after it went out of warranty, we have liked much better the full size Whirlpool Dryer (WHD560CHW) for the past 6 months. This unit performs well, dries fast on speed mode, and solves the problem of having no option for a vent. We did have a tech come out and fix a horrible rattle on the left side where apparently a coil was vibrating against the metal.
