Short answer

Whirlpool Dryer Not Heating: The Short Answer

A Whirlpool dryer that spins but does not heat usually has a blown thermal fuse, a burned-out heating element, or a gas valve coil that quit (on gas dryers). Nine times out of ten the real cause behind a blown fuse is a clogged vent. We replace the part, clean the lint out, and check the vent so it does not happen again.
What it means

Electric or gas?

  • Electric dryer, no heat at allCheck that both breakers are on. A 240-volt dryer can run on one leg of power and spin with no heat.
  • Gas dryer, heats then goes coldHeats for a few minutes then goes cold: usually the gas valve coils.
  • Either type, takes two cyclesWarm but takes two cycles: a clogged vent or lint inside the dryer.
Try this first

Check these first

  1. Reset the dryer breaker (both switches if there are two).
  2. Pull the dryer out and look at the vent hose. If it is crushed or packed with lint, that is the problem and it is also a fire risk.
  3. Clean the lint screen and the slot it sits in.
Time for a technician

When to Call Us

  • The breaker is fine and there is still no heat.
  • The dryer trips the breaker.
  • You smell something burning or the outside of the dryer is hot to the touch.

Whirlpool Dryer Not Heating FAQ

Can I replace the thermal fuse myself?

You can, but if the vent is still clogged it will blow again in a week. Have the vent and the inside of the dryer cleaned at the same time.

Is a Whirlpool dryer worth repairing?

Almost always. These dryers are simple and parts are cheap compared with a new machine.

Do you work on Maytag and Kenmore dryers too?

Yes. Many are built by Whirlpool and use the same parts.

How much does the repair cost?

The diagnostic is $75 and it is free if you go ahead with the repair. Repairs start from $175, and you approve the price before any work starts. The repair comes with a 30-day labor warranty.

Do you offer same-day service?

Yes, in many cases. We work Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm. Call or text (346) 431-1725 or book online at nurappliance.com and we will find the earliest time.
