Whirlpool Dryer Lines and Features
How Whirlpool Dryers Are Built
Clicking from the gas valve on a gas dryer is a normal operating sound. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Sounds or Noises in a Dryer
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
- Dryer won't start. Press and hold Start for a few seconds, confirm the door is fully latched and Controls Locked is off, and check the household fuses or breakers. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Dryer Not Starting or No Operation
- 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
