A Whirlpool dryer in Homeworth wasn’t producing any heat, leaving clothes damp after full cycles. Our diagnosis revealed failed coil packs preventing the gas valve from opening properly.
The Problem
The customer reported their dryer won’t heat. Clothes were tumbling normally but coming out completely damp after extended run times.
Diagnosis
Testing revealed the gas valve coil packs had failed, preventing the valve from opening to allow gas flow to the burner assembly. Without operational coil packs, the dryer runs through its cycle but produces no heat.
The Repair
