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