Know Your Whirlpool Dryer
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
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
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 takes too long to dry. Clean the lint screen, check that the vent is metal, short and unkinked with a free-moving outside flap, and avoid overloading. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Dryer is not Drying or Experiencing Long Dry Times
What Whirlpool Dryer Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| PF | A power failure interrupted the cycle; press and hold Start to resume. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Error Codes in Dryers |
| AF / F4E3 | Restricted airflow from a clogged lint screen or a blocked, crushed or overly bent vent. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Error Codes in Dryers |
