If your Whirlpool dryer isn’t producing heat, inspect the heating element for visible damage or burnout. Check the thermal fuse for continuity using a multimeter. A faulty thermostat or cycling switch may also be the culprit. Replace any defective parts as needed.

Start by cleaning the lint filter and checking the vent hose for blockages. Ensure the external vent is free of debris. If the problem persists, inspect the moisture sensor for proper functionality and replace it if necessary. Also, check the drum seals for wear, as leaks can reduce drying efficiency.

Overheating can be caused by airflow restrictions or faulty temperature controls. Clean the vent system thoroughly and inspect the cycling thermostat. Test the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat, replacing them if they fail a continuity test.

If the drum doesn’t spin, examine the drive belt for wear or damage and replace it if necessary. Inspect the drum support rollers for smooth operation. A faulty motor or idler pulley could also be to blame. Test these components and replace any that are defective.

If the dryer won’t start, ensure it is properly plugged in and that the power outlet is functioning. Check the door latch to confirm it is engaging fully. Test the start switch and control board for continuity, replacing them if required.
