Whirlpool Dryer
Customer complaint: whirl dryer – DRUM MAKING WEIRD NOISE, ITS NOT DRYING ENOUGH whirl range gas – oven – bottom element is not igniting. Initial visit (Nov 5) — Mike S: Reported concern The customer reported that the dryer experienced excessive vibration while running a cycle. Assessment Disassembly of the unit revealed heavy lint accumulation on the blower wheel. This buildup caused a physical imbalance during rotation, leading to the severe vibration observed during operation. Additionally, external airflow could not be verified to confirm that the exterior vent damper was opening properly during operation. Work performed The unit was disassembled, and all accumulated lint was cleaned from the blower wheel and internal cabinet. Following reassembly, the dryer was retested and is now operating normally with smooth rotation and no excessive vibration. Next steps A professional dryer exhaust vent cleaning is strongly recommended due to the heavy internal lint accumulation and the unverified exterior vent hood operation, which can restrict airflow and cause recurring lint buildup. Outcome: Repaired.

Customer complaint: whirl dryer – DRUM MAKING WEIRD NOISE, ITS NOT DRYING ENOUGH MDL: WED6605MC0 whirl range gas – oven – bottom element it clicks but not igniting MDL: wfg550s0LZ4. Initial visit (Nov 5) — Mike S: Assessment Diagnostic testing identified a crack in the igniter assembly. This damage allows electrical arcing to occur before current reaches the igniter tip, preventing the appliance from lighting and heating properly. Next steps Ordering a replacement igniter assembly is required. Verify the exact unit model details and compatible part number prior to placing the order, then schedule a follow-up visit to install the assembly and verify normal operation.
