Whirlpool Washer Repair
We specialize in 6th Sense technology, specifically within the Cabrio and Duet series. Because Whirlpool uses high-torque direct-drive motors, diagnosing a failure requires professional testing of the stator and sensors to distinguish between a simple wiring fault and a motor burnout. We ensure every sensor is calibrated to prevent recurring faults.
Common Whirlpool Washer Issues
- “F5 E2” Lid Lock Errors: Frequent on Duet models, indicating the door isn’t sensing the lock.
- “F06” Motor Communication: A critical signal of board-to-motor failure requiring expert diagnostics.
- Vibration and Grinding: Often caused by snapped suspension rods or worn drum bearings in the Cabrio series.
Overloading the drum is a primary cause of failure, as it snaps suspension rods or wears out drive bearings. To prevent this, use only “HE” detergent to avoid excessive suds, which is the leading cause of pump failure and board shorts. We frequently replace door latch assemblies and electronic control boards with genuine OEM parts to restore your unit to factory standards.
Whirlpool Dryer Repair
Whirlpool dryers, especially Steam Cycle models, rely on precise moisture sensors and thermal protection for efficiency. If your dryer displays an “AF” (Air Flow) code, it indicates a critical restriction in the exhaust system. We professionally test these advanced systems to ensure your AutoDry cycles reach the exact temperatures required for optimal fabric care.
Common Whirlpool Dryer Issues
- No Heat / Long Dry Times: Usually a result of a burnt-out thermal fuse or a grounded heating element.
- “AF” Airflow Alerts: Indicates the vent line is restricted, posing a fire risk.
- Tumbler Noise: Loud thumping or squealing usually points to worn drum rollers or idler pulleys.
Clogged vent lines cause internal temperatures to spike, blowing the thermal fuse as a safety measure. To avoid this, clean the lint screen after every load and have your exhaust duct cleaned annually. If the dryer won’t heat, reset your home circuit breaker, as one “leg” of the 240V power may have tripped. We carry genuine heating loops and thermal sensors to fix these issues in a single visit.
Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair
We service everything from Whirlpool Gold French-door models to Side-by-Side units with In-Door-Ice systems. These fridges use Adaptive Defrost controls to regulate cooling cycles efficiently. A frequent issue is a distinct clicking sound, which usually signals a failing start relay or compressor control board that must be addressed immediately to prevent food spoilage.
Common Whirlpool Refrigerator Issues
- Ice Maker Failure: Involves the modular ice maker assembly or a frozen water inlet valve.
- Clicking Noises: A signal of a failing compressor or start relay that requires immediate testing.
- Cooling Fluctuations: Often caused by a faulty 6th Sense sensor or a malfunctioning damper motor.
Dust buildup on condenser coils is the most common reason for overheating, forcing the motor to work harder and fail prematurely. We suggest vacuuming the coils every six months to maintain cooling efficiency. If the fridge is warm but the freezer is cold, ensure the vents aren’t blocked by food. Our technicians frequently replace evaporator fan motors and defrost heaters to restore original cooling performance.
Whirlpool Dishwasher Repair
Whirlpool dishwashers are known for TotalCoverage spray arms and TargetClean jets. A specific flashing “Clean” light pattern is often a diagnostic code for a heating circuit fault. Restoring these units requires clearing error logs from the control module and testing heater resistance using specialized diagnostic tools.
Common Whirlpool Dishwasher Issues
- 7-Blink Error Code: Indicates a heating circuit fault, requiring a board reset or heater replacement.
- Pump Humming (No Water): Often caused by a seized wash motor or debris blocking the chopper blade.
- Leaking or Drainage Issues: Frequently linked to a faulty inlet valve or blocked pressure sensors.
Limescale buildup from hard water is a major culprit, clogging spray nozzles and coating the heating element. To prevent this, run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner once a month. If dishes aren’t clean, check the bottom filter first for clogs. We often replace inlet valves and wash pumps (chopper blades) to ensure your dishwasher continues to deliver spotless results.
Whirlpool Range, Oven & Cooktop Repair
From TimeSavor convection ovens to AccuBake ranges, we ensure temperature accuracy through precise calibration. If your oven shows an “F9” door lock error or bakes unevenly, we inspect the electronic igniters or heating loops to ensure they meet factory specifications. These appliances rely on sensitive thermostats that must be tested with professional equipment.
Common Whirlpool Range & Oven Issues
- “F9” Door Lock Error: Prevents the oven from starting or finishing a cycle.
- Uneven Baking: Usually points to a failing AccuBake heating element or a faulty temp sensor.
- Igniter Failure: Common in gas ranges where the burner clicks but won’t light.
Frequent use of the “Self-Clean” cycle is a leading cause of failure, as extreme heat can overheat the control board. We advise avoiding Self-Clean mode right before major holidays. For gas cooktops, ensure the burner caps are centered and the igniter is dry. Common replacement parts include igniters, bake/broil elements, and temperature sensors.
