Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: confirm the dryer has power and rule out anything obvious — a tripped breaker, an unlatched door, a blocked vent. Also, unplug it for a minute and try again, since a simple reset clears more faults than people expect. If that doesn't fix it, if the basics check out, the fault is inside the control system or a sealed component, and diagnosing that safely takes a technician's tools and training.
How we fix it
We start with a full diagnostic on the Whirlpool dryer, confirm the real fault, then price it flat. Whirlpool OEM parts are extremely widely available through authorized distributors, but sealed-system refrigerant repairs require an experienced technician. The quote is flat, approved before we start, and every repair carries our warranty.
