Know Your Whirlpool Dryer
What Makes Whirlpool Dryer Repairs Different
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 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
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
