Whirlpool Dryer Repair – Massillon, OH (GEQ8811LW0)

A customer on Walnut Road Southwest in Massillon called about their Whirlpool dryer that spins but no heat. After testing the heating element, we found it had failed completely and the unit was packed with lint buildup.

The Problem

The customer reported their dryer spins but no heat. The drum would tumble clothes normally, but nothing would dry because the heating element wasn’t producing any heat.

Diagnosis

Heat element tested open. The dryer also had lots of lint in it, which likely contributed to the element overheating and burning out.

The Repair

• Work performed: I replaced the element and cleaned the lint out
• Result: Good to go

Is It Worth Repairing?

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every single load — even small amounts of lint can restrict airflow
• Check behind and underneath the dryer quarterly for lint accumulation that escapes the filter
• Have the exhaust vent cleaned annually to prevent lint from backing up into the dryer cabinet
