Whirlpool Dryer Features Technicians Work On
What a Whirlpool Dryer Technician Deals With
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
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

What Washington Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Washington 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.
North Carolina has no license specific to appliance repair; work on gas appliances, fuel piping and heating equipment is regulated by the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating, and Fire Sprinkler Contractors, with an exemption for minor repairs that don't change fuel type, venting or piping.

In North Carolina, you can check a license with the NC Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Board public license search or report a problem to the North Carolina Department of Justice, Consumer Protection Division.
