A Whirlpool dryer shares most of its parts with other dryers, but its controls, error codes and sensor-dry cycles are specific to the brand. The Branson list starts with companies that name Whirlpool, followed by other appliance repair companies that list dryer work.
Washer and Dryer Repair is independent and not affiliated with Whirlpool. Listed companies are independent technicians who repair Whirlpool dryers and other brands.

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
Clicking from the gas valve on a gas dryer is a normal operating sound. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Sounds or Noises in a Dryer
