If your Whirlpool WED5605MCH Electric Dryer is not heating up, there are a few possible causes that you can check before contacting customer service. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:
1. Check the lint filter: Make sure the lint filter is clean and free from any lint buildup. A clogged lint filter can restrict airflow and cause the dryer to overheat, resulting in no heat.
2. Check the venting system: Ensure that the venting system is clear and not blocked. A blocked vent can prevent proper air circulation and cause the dryer to not heat up. Clean out any lint or debris from the venting system.
3. Check the circuit breaker: Verify that the circuit breaker for the dryer is not tripped. Reset the breaker if necessary.
4. Check the heating element: The heating element may be faulty and need to be replaced. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to access and test the heating element. If it is defective, contact the Whirlpool Customer eXperience Center for assistance.
5. Check the thermal fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that can blow if the dryer overheats. If the thermal fuse is blown, the dryer will not heat up. Refer to the user manual for the location of the thermal fuse and how to test it. If it is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact the Whirlpool Customer eXperience Center for further assistance. They can provide additional guidance and arrange for service if necessary. Remember to have your model number, serial number, and proof of purchase ready when contacting customer service.
