What Makes Whirlpool Dryer Repairs Different

What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- 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

Dryer Notes for Morris, MN
Most dryer calls in Morris come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.
