Troubleshooting, error codes and repair costs for Whirlpool dryers. Our data covers 867 Whirlpool dryer models across 120 engineering platforms.

Common Whirlpool dryer problems

Dryer not heating

A dryer that tumbles but stays cold has lost one link in its heat circuit. On an electric dryer, check first that both…

Dryer won't start

A dryer that won't start either has no power, does not see the door as closed, or has a broken circuit to the motor…

Dryer takes too long to dry

A dryer that takes too long is starved of airflow, not getting full heat, or being handed wet or oversized loads…

Dryer drum not turning

If the dryer runs but the drum doesn't turn, the drive belt is the first suspect; if nothing runs at all, the service…

Dryer making noise

Dryer noises are best sorted by the parts that carry the drum: worn rollers thump, a worn idler pulley squeals, worn…

Dryer shuts off before clothes are dry

A dryer that ends the cycle with damp clothes is being misled by its moisture sensing or settings, or by poor airflow…

Dryer overheating or too hot

A dryer that runs too hot is first a vent problem: lint in the screen, duct or vent hood traps heat, and the safety…

How Whirlpool dryers are organized

Models are grouped by engineering platform: models on the same platform share their service documentation, fault-code list and most diagnostic steps, even when they carry different brand names. That is why we ask for the model number when you have it.
