Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
Sometimes, the dryer may not start due to an electrical supply issue. Ensure that the electrical supply is connected properly, breakers are not tripped, and fuses are intact.
-
If the dryer does not start, the door might not be fully closed, or the door latch mechanism may be faulty, which can prevent operation.
-
For gas models, ensure that the gas supply valve is open and there are no disruptions in the gas supply. Incorrect settings can prevent burners from igniting, leading to no heat.
-
Poor ventilation due to a clogged lint filter or blocked exhaust vent can cause longer drying times and increase wear on the dryer, reducing its efficiency.
-
Overloading the dryer can prevent proper tumbling and drying, increasing drying time and potentially causing clothes to dry unevenly

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Clean the Lint Filter Regularly:** Always clean the lint filter before or after each dryer cycle to maintain efficient airflow and reduce drying time.
- **Use Sensor Dry Cycles:** If available, use sensor dry cycles instead of timed dry cycles to prevent over-drying and save energy.
- **Dry Full Loads:** Try to dry full loads as much as possible, but avoid overloading the dryer for efficient energy use.
- **Use Low Heat Settings:** When possible, use lower heat settings to save energy and reduce wear and tear on clothes.
- **Install in a Well-Ventilated Area:** Ensure proper installation with adequate ventilation to maintain efficient drying performance.
- Do not place items that have been stained with cooking oils or have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances in the dryer, as they emit vapors that could ignite or explode.
- To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool-down period). Avoid stopping a dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that heat dissipates.
- Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the dryer, and do not install it in a garage. Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
- Clean the dryer lint screen before or after each load and ensure it is in place. Using the dryer without the lint screen can lead to a fire hazard.
- Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision is necessary when the dryer is used near children to prevent accidents.

Environmental Impact
The Whirlpool CESP2958JQ, like many commercial dryers, uses electricity (or gas in some models) as a power source which contributes to energy consumption and subsequent environmental impacts such as carbon emissions. Proper and regular maintenance can improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
