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
Many models detect restricted exhaust airflow and show an AF or F4E3 code while continuing to run. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Error Codes in Dryers
Common Whirlpool Dryer Problems
- 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
