If your Whirlpool dryer is not starting, a power issue might be the culprit. First, ensure that the dryer is plugged in securely and that the power cord is not damaged. Check your home's circuit breaker: if it has tripped, reset it, and try again. Some Whirlpool dryers have a safety switch on the door; if it is not fully closed, the machine will not start. Additionally, a faulty wall outlet could be the issue: test it by plugging in another appliance.
For a hassle-free laundry experience, pairing your dryer with a high-performance
washing machine can make a big difference. Explore the best models to complete your laundry setup effortlessly.
Door switch malfunction: Ensuring proper closure
A faulty door switch can prevent your Whirlpool dryer from starting. This switch acts as a safety feature, ensuring the dryer operates only when the door is fully closed. If the switch is broken or misaligned, the dryer will not start.
Here is how to check:
- Listen for a click: When closing the door, you should hear a clicking sound. If not, the switch may be faulty.
- Inspect the latch: A damaged latch can prevent proper closure, stopping the dryer from working.
- Test the switch: Use a multimeter to check for continuity. If there is no reading, it needs replacing.
Pairing your dryer with a reliable
top load washing machine ensures a smoother laundry routine.
Thermal fuse failure: A common safety issue
The thermal fuse is a crucial safety component that prevents overheating in your Whirlpool dryer. If it blows, the dryer will not start. This usually happens due to lint buildup or restricted airflow, causing the dryer to overheat.
Here is how to check and fix it:
- Test for continuity: Use a multimeter to check if the thermal fuse is functioning. A blown fuse will show no continuity.
- Inspect the vent: Blocked vents cause overheating, leading to fuse failure. Clean them regularly.
- Replace the fuse: If the fuse is blown, it needs to be replaced to restore operation.
Pairing your dryer with an
automatic washing machine ensures better efficiency and ease of use.
Defective start switch: Diagnosing electrical faults
If your Whirlpool dryer has power but will not start, a faulty start switch could be the issue. This switch sends an electrical signal to activate the motor when you press the start button. If it is defective, the dryer will not respond.
Here is how to diagnose and fix it:
- Listen for a sound: If you press the start button and hear a clicking noise, the switch is likely working. No sound may indicate a fault.
- Test with a multimeter: Check the switch for continuity. If there is no reading, it needs replacement.
- Inspect for loose wiring: Faulty or disconnected wires can prevent the switch from working properly.
