Interior Dryer Drum Light Issues
Problem: Dryer works well but interior drum light will not come on even after bulb replacement.

An interior drum light may not be essential to the dryer’s operation, but it is very helpful. Without an interior light, it is easy to make the mistake of leaving clothes, including single socks, in the drum.

A dryer’s door latch or switch and the interior light control electrical systems are on the same circuit. If the door switch is not working properly or has been replaced, the wiring of the interior drum light may not have been done correctly or the wiring has come loose. Check and correct the circuit wiring issues and you should have light.

Dryer Beeps Continuously
Problem: Whirlpool dryer makes a beeping sound every few minutes which sounds like a bird chirping or the sound of a smoke detector when the battery is low.

Unfortunately, the beeping is a result of a bad control panel. Unplugging or resetting the dryer will not solve the problem. The board will need to be replaced. If you are handy with tools and electronics, you can avoid a service call if you do the work yourself to solve the beeping. To help you access the control panel, you should consult a repair manual.

If you don’t feel capable of the repair, it’s time to call a technician. Be sure to explain the problem fully and provide the make and model number of your dryer.
