How Whirlpool Dryers Are Built
Electric Whirlpool dryers run on 240 volts from two breakers or fuses, one feeding the motor and one the heating element, so a single tripped breaker can leave the drum turning with no heat. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
Whirlpool Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- Dryer takes too long to dry. Clean the lint screen, check that the vent is metal, short and unkinked with a free-moving outside flap, and avoid overloading. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Dryer is not Drying or Experiencing Long Dry Times
- Dryer not heating. Make sure a heated cycle is selected rather than Air Only, then check both breakers and the 240-volt supply on electric models or the open gas shutoff valve on gas models. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
