Safety first
Stop using the dryer for smoke, burning smells, sparking or unusual overheating; disconnect power only if safe. Keep lint from accumulating and do not open electrical panels. U.S. CPSC fire-prevention advice recommends cleaning the lint filter and vent system.
Quick help
| What you see | Safe next step | When to request service |
|---|---|---|
| Unknown code or warning | Copy the characters exactly, note whether they flash, and check the complete model and serial label. Match the display using Whirlpool’s model-specific literature, not only the general table below. | Request help if the message persists or the appliance is not operating normally. |
| Drying ends while clothes remain damp | Review the chosen cycle and load, clean the lint screen and inspect visible airflow obstructions without removing panels. | Repeated premature stops or insufficient heat. |
| Dryer will not start | Check the door closure and household power supply from normal user-accessible controls; do not open the electrical enclosure. | Electrical faults or persistent refusal to start. |
