Whirlpool dryer isn’t spinning. How to repair?

Any dryer is susceptible to damage. Nevertheless, 90% of malfunctions appear due to the human factor, inattention and improper maintenance. Make sure you do not overload the dryer. Most often, the drum of the dryer does not rotate due to exceeding the optimal load. The second major mistake is putting the laundry from the washing machine to the dryer in a tangled ball. Most often, problems arise when you refuse to spread the items in the drum. The centering inside the drum is disturbed, it starts to "hit", the load on the engine or belt increases. The latter can break, and the motor can fail. Insufficient maintenance after drying leads to clogging. The sensor does not recognize the air flow and does not start the program. Check the cleanliness of the device regularly. However, the steps above won’t help if your Whirlpool dryer has already faced a breakdown. It is necessary to check a drive belt first. After years of use, the drive belt can become damaged. When a dryer doesn’t spin even after you take out everything inside it and manually try to make it work, then chances are your Whirlpool belt is broken! You might be able to see this by opening up the door while trying with all your strength to turn on that machine – if there’s little resistance or movement from doing so, you’ll need to replace this part. Check to see if a thermal fuse is working properly. If not, replace it with a new one. Unplug the dryer. Remove the vent hose from the back of the dryer. Remove the screws from the back of the dryer. Unplug the two wires on the fuse. Remove the screw from the fuse and pull the fuse out. Put the new fuse in place and snug the screw down. Plug the two wired onto the new fuse. Put the back on the dryer. Hook the vent hose back up. Plug the dryer in. Omit DIY unless you are not quite sure how to check and replace faulty parts.
