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
The HybridCare dryer uses a heat pump to dry and recycle the same air, so it needs no vent to the outside. Source: Whirlpool Corporation - HybridCare clothes dryer earns award
