Know Your Whirlpool Dryer
How Whirlpool Dryers Are Built
The HybridCare dryer uses a heat pump to dry and recycle the same air, so it needs no vent to the outside. Source: Whirlpool Corporation - HybridCare clothes dryer earns award
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
Common Whirlpool Dryer Problems
- 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
- 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
