How Whirlpool Dryers Are Built
Whirlpool says many dryers perform best with a total equivalent vent length under 35 feet of rigid or semi-rigid metal duct, with each 90-degree elbow adding resistance. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Dryer is not Drying or Experiencing Long Dry Times
Many models detect restricted exhaust airflow and show an AF or F4E3 code while continuing to run. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Error Codes in Dryers
What Whirlpool Says to Check First

- Dryer won't start. Press and hold Start for a few seconds, confirm the door is fully latched and Controls Locked is off, and check the household fuses or breakers. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Dryer Not Starting or No Operation
