Whirlpool LAB2700ML Pedestal Drawer for Duet Washers & Dryers - Page 3 Questions & Answers
Whirlpool duet dryer model #
you will need an OHM meter to check continuity. or you can jump the wires but you must replace a bad one for its a huge safety hazzard. (you can slide the 2 terminals together if you have them upsidedown from each other.
the thermal fuse is located right on top of the blower housing.
to get to it remove the lower pannel 3 1/4 inch screews you will see 2 wires going into a white plastic almost football looking peice ontop of the blower housing. it is also held in with 2 1/4 inch screews. thats the termal fuse if nothing turns on or work thats the most common problem. if you jump it and the dryer works then replace the t-fuse Part # 3392519 $20.95

Washer vibrates and walks across the floor
Theres a few things you can do to stop it from walking.
but the best way i know is to use washer anchors.
Whirlpool part# 155P3 $22.95
Im going to assume that you have eaither the wfw8300 or wfw8400
the main differences is the suspention system in them. the 8300 uses a 5 point system that work but really you should only use the washer on solid flooring like concrete. the 8400 uses a 6 point with better shocks.
if you have this washer on a main floor with basment underneith it you might want to check the floor. grab a glass of water when it starts to shake and walk and put it on the floor, if the water is jumping then the floor is the problem.
eaither way the anchor kit i have listed above will stop your issues with it moving and walking.

Whirlpool dryer GEW9200LW1
Hi.
To be sure the element is not faulty, you need to have it tested for continuity, and for an earth fault.

Dryer Not drying well
Check first:
That the lint filter is clean.
That the duct from the dryer to the outside of the house is clean.
In case it will not solve your problem,it might be an heating element issue (partially burned). The dryer will still heat but at such a low temp, that you will need for extra time to get things dry. Open the rear panel, look for the heating element and check visually that there is no burned parts on it (disconnected coils).
If there are a burned signs on it, you should replace it.
Good luck !!

How do i get a necklace stuck in holes of my Whirlpool thin twin washing machine?
It won't be easy - the necklace went through the hole so logically it should come back, unfortunately it is the nature of a necklace to be a random structure unless some tension is applied; the links or whatever are apt to go sideways and jam in the hole. In an extreme case the necklace could be knotted...
If it is knotted there is no chance of removal and the solution is either to dismantle the washer or to break the necklace.
Positioning the drum so the necklace is under tension under its own weight and with some jiggling and the application of lots of patience and some luck it should come back through the hole.

Whirlpool heavy duty commercial washer # cae2743800 will not start after coins inserted and start button held
Check the Coin Mechanism:
Ensure that the coin mechanism is functioning correctly. Sometimes, coins may get stuck or not register properly. Verify that the coin slots are clear and that the mechanism is engaging properly.
If there's an issue with the coin mechanism, it could prevent the washer from starting. You might need to clean or repair it.
Inspect the Wiring:
There should be a harness with two wires that go into the coin mechanism box. Check if these wires are intact and properly connected. If you find any damage or loose connections, consider repairing or replacing the wiring.
Bypass the Coin Mechanism:
If you suspect that the coin mechanism is causing the problem, you can bypass it temporarily.
Cut the wires going into the coin mechanism and insert a push button switch in the line. This will allow you to manually start the washer without relying on the coin mechanism.
If you're unsure how to do this, consider contacting a local repair shop for assistance.
Check for Other Issues:
Inspect other components such as the lid switch, control board, and start button. Any malfunction in these parts could prevent the washer from starting.
Make sure the washer is plugged in and that there are no tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses.

Whirlpool duet steam washer displaying F 20 error code during wash cycle. Water seems to be flowing just fine. I've unplugged it several times to clear the code but it's not working.
The F20 error code on a Whirlpool Duet Steam Washer typically indicates a water inlet problem. It means the washer is not getting enough water to continue the wash cycle. This can be due to several reasons, even if it seems like water is flowing fine at first glance. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
- Check Water Supply Hoses:
- Ensure both the hot and cold water faucets are fully open.
- Inspect the water inlet hoses for kinks, bends, or twists that could restrict water flow. Straighten out any issues you find.
- Turn off the water supply, disconnect the hoses from the back of the washer, and check that the filter screens inside the water inlet valve are not clogged with debris. Clean them carefully if needed.
- Water Pressure:
- The washer requires a certain amount of water pressure to function correctly. Low household water pressure can lead to insufficient water flow to the washer. Make sure your home's water pressure is within the washer's required range.
- Check for Siphoning:
- Make sure the drain hose is correctly installed. The end of the hose should not be too far down the standpipe, and there should be an air gap to prevent siphoning.
- Inlet Valves:
- If the water hoses and screens are clear, there might be an issue with the water inlet valves themselves. They might not be opening fully due to electrical issues or mechanical failure.
- The inlet valves can be tested with a multimeter for continuity to ensure they are functioning correctly. If they lack continuity, they need to be replaced.
- Flow Meter:
- Some Whirlpool Duet models have a flow meter that measures the amount of water entering the washer. If this component malfunctions, it could mistakenly signal that there's not enough water, even when there is.
- Diagnosing a flow meter requires some technical knowledge and a service manual for your specific model.
- Pressure Switch:
- The washer uses a pressure switch to monitor the water level. If there's an issue with this switch or the hose connected to it, the washer might incorrectly interpret the problem as insufficient water flow.
- Check the pressure switch and the hose for any blockage, disconnection, or damage.
- Reset the Washer:
- Since unplugging the washer hasn't cleared the error, after checking the above, try to reset the control board by unplugging the washer for about 5 minutes, then plugging it back in.
If after trying these steps the F20 error persists, it may be time to consult the manual for more specific troubleshooting steps for your model or contact a professional appliance repair service. Sometimes, the problem could be related to the washer's electronic control board or other components that require professional diagnosis and repair.
