Troubleshooting a Whirlpool Dryer That Won't Power On

Below, we outline some of the most common reasons your Whirlpool dryer might not be powering on and provide guidance on how to diagnose these issues.

Causes for a Whirlpool Dryer Not Powering On

One of the first things to check if your Whirlpool dryer is not powering on is the power cord. Ensure it is properly plugged in and not damaged. A loose or damaged cord can prevent the dryer from turning on. Another common cause is a tripped circuit breaker.

If the dryer door isn't fully closed or if the door switch is faulty, the dryer won't start. Inspect the door switch for any issues.
