WKGX201HWA is the XL-capacity gas WashTower, the larger-drum counterpart to WKG101HWA with the same shared-control-panel design and, like the electric WKEX200 tier, sold in several finish variants that are color codes rather than different machines. The dryer half’s exhaust duct is worth checking on any XL gas WashTower with a slow-drying complaint before assuming a heating-system fault — a larger dryer drum moves more air through the same duct run, and a marginal vent that was adequate for a standard-capacity dryer can become a real restriction at the XL size.
As with every gas WashTower in this file, any work near the burner or valve on the dryer half starts with the gas supply shut off at the appliance shutoff first.
