A Whirlpool dryer shares most of its parts with other dryers, but its controls, error codes and sensor-dry cycles are specific to the brand. The Manitowoc list starts with companies that name Whirlpool, followed by other appliance repair companies that list dryer work.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Whirlpool, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.

Most dryer calls in Manitowoc 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
How to Choose a Dryer Technician Near Manitowoc
