Why doesn't my dryer dry clothes?

The exhaust hose is fine, but just doesn't dry the clothes like it used to.

You can find the Installation Instructions and your owner's manual here: http://www.kmart.com/whirlpool-duet-174-7.4-cu-ft-he-gas-dryer/p-02692332000P The links are about halfway down the page and are in red. There are instructions for cleaning the lint screen, which if clogged, will effect the drying time. Hope this helps.

I replaced my hoses due to a leak and filled up the tank but when i switch on the breaker the top of the tank where the electrical wires go in started to smoke . The water got under the cover.

Dear Shata,
Understand that water & electricity together are so very bad that the two of them together can kill you.
Now, it sounds like you have water into the jacket of the hot water heater.
Although this is not "fatal", getting the water out and getting the heater insulation to dry out may be nearly impossible.
If you, for example, just left it sit all alone, it may never dry out, as the wet insulation needs plenty of air to dry, and the outer metal jacket will prevent any air getting to the wet insulation.
(If you had no monies, and were terribly creative, I suppose cutting a 2 or 3 inch diameter hole in the outer metal jacket and attaching a "hair blow dryer" to the hole you have made, and turning it on high might blow enough air into the chamber between the outer and the inner walls to dry out the insulation, but it could take a week. Obviously, the connection would need to be air tight, and you would need to remove the plate on the top for the wet air to go somewhere.
The last repair I suggested is NOT an accepted fix, it is just an idea.)
God bless your efforts.

Will air in tankless water heater for in floor heating system cause the exhaust fan to speed up and give me an insufficient cold air /exhaust error?

It sounds to me like it is the flue gas exhaust and combustion air, NOT a water issue. If the error reads " insufficient cold air/exhaust" then it is the gas and air mix for the combustion process, not the water lines. Others have already suggested checking the flue and air inlet ("chimney"). Please do this, and ignore those who are giving you advice about the water loop.

Have an LP gas water heater with White Rogers control that cycles on and off 3 times before remaining on. Water heater is 5 years old with forced exhaust. Heats water fine once it remains on. Do you...

From what you say, I would CLEAN the thermocoupler with either steel wool or a green scouring pad (dry) and then wipe off the residue with a clean cloth. If you still have trouble then it could be a gas valve that is sticking.

My son used the hose to put about 5 gallons of water down the exhaust vent. Now (surprisingly) it won't work.... Ideas?

Maybe I should look at your unit but, I'm not familiar with an exhaust vent on an electric water heater. That being said, I can't find your system, I did look, if your have 5 gallons of water inside the metal outer tank, I hope it tripped the breaker. If it didn't, you had better turn it off. The only thing you can do really is, pull the inspection panels off, if there is a small piece of insulation covering the thermostats, pull them out. You're going to have to let it drain, air dry. Only the lord knows how long that will take. There is insulation between the fiberglass inner tank and the metal outer tank so, I would have to guess it's pretty saturated with five gallons of water in it. Is this actually a gas heater?

Tankless water heater error code 11

I was having the same problem untill I reallized it was my venting system. Test the water heater with no vent on top. Disconnect the vent pipe from the water heater and try turning on the hot water. the water heater needs a special adapter to vent the direct vent water heater. One other thing you can check is the gas pressure in your home. You have to have between 7 and 8 WC (water Column) for the tankless water heaters. You can call your gas supplier to find out what you have.
