Whirlpool Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- Noisy dryer. Level the dryer, then look for coins, pins or zippers caught in the drum, noting that gas-valve clicking is normal. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Sounds or Noises in a Dryer
- 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
