13 1/4" Tall ? you couldn't even easily load clothing through a door that short, I just measured the door on a new SQ FL Stack on our showroom and the door on a ten YO SQ stack dryer and they are both 18 1/4" high.

Thanks for the info John, that's what I wanted to hear.
A gentleman had a SQ Dryer Door for sale on ebay and it measured out at 13 1/4" height....not sure what it fit.

We have seen the hiccup where you put it back in because it's not quite dry and it cycles through very quickly and still not dry. At that point we just used a timed dry cycle. But it's only happened once and I think the load was very small so perhaps not enough volume in there to trigger the sensor.
Overall it works quite well and it actually is nice having the lint trap in the front. Keeps from getting lint all over the top of the dryer like with the top style on Whirlpool.

"getting lint all over the top"
That's the one thing that annoys me about my 29" Whirlpool.

KM/WP Dryer
Our old Kenmore 80 series dryer was pretty good. It had the lint filter at the top, which was convenient to empty the lint during the cycle. It never seemed to get hot though. I do miss the soft heat system and the ability to empty the lint during the cycle. However, the new Duet dryer drys far more evenly and gets things up to temperature. This is an issue though. I find that I can't use the normal cycle to dry as it slightly over dries and uses far too high of heat ~150F. The Casual cycle is my to go to, however it under dries using the more dry setting. I, too, have never been overly impressed with a KM/WP dryer. Oh, and how could I forget the ubiquitous dryer thump. They all have it! Although I do not feel that any other company makes a dryer that I would be any more happy with except Miele which I have never used.

Whirlpool Dryer Lint Mess
On the later WP dryers, pull the screen and clean it over the hole while the machine is running, the blower will suck all the dust back into the machine and out the vent. No mess.

SQ Dryer is nothing special and moisture sensor is worthless
SQ dryer is a quality piece, has a strong blower, easy to clean lint filter, and lets you fine-tune dry cycles with the manual settings which you'll be doing because the moisture sensor is worthless. SQ dryers are nothing special and sensor dry leaves clothes wet or overcooks them so I do 60 minutes on low heat for most loads. If anything is still wet like towels I'll take out the delicate stuff then run on high temp for 30 minutes or so. Sturdy stuff or stuff I don't care about like rags goes in for 60 minutes on high temp and it drys the hell out of it. Either from using the manual setting or just being an energy hog the SQ dryer is burning through more gas. And love the exhaust sound you can hear outside through the dryer exhaust vent this thing roars with power and blows like hell kind of awesome.
Mine is a 2017 ADGE9RGS and I see no reason to buy any SQ product made after 2017.

Mine is a 1965, the first time I used it, having previously had a late 2000s model I pulled out the screen while running and got a face full of lint dust. Although I think it actually produces less lint overall, I think it has to do with lacking the true vanes on the drum and having the indents instead. The same washer was being used for both.
