Whirlpool Washer and Dryer Repair

Laundry problems are the most common reason Sacramento homeowners call us about a Whirlpool appliance. We repair Whirlpool top-load and front-load washers, including Cabrio and Duet models, and Whirlpool gas and electric dryers.

Whirlpool Washer Repair

A Whirlpool washer that will not spin, drain or fill, that leaves clothes soaking wet, that bangs during the spin cycle, or whose lid will not lock usually has a worn or failed part, not a dead machine. We check the lid lock, drain pump, water inlet valve, motor, drive parts and control board, and replace the one that has failed. Learn more on our washing machine repair page.

Whirlpool Dryer Repair

When a Whirlpool dryer runs but stays cold, takes two cycles to dry a load, stops in the middle of a cycle, or squeaks and thumps, the cause is usually a heating element, gas igniter or valve coil, a thermal fuse, the belt and rollers, or a blocked vent. We repair gas and electric models and check the venting so the dryer runs safely. See our dryer repair service.

Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair

We repair Whirlpool French-door, side-by-side, bottom-freezer and top-freezer refrigerators. The calls we get most are a refrigerator that is not cold enough while the freezer still works, an ice maker that has stopped making ice, water leaking inside or under the fridge, frost on the back wall, and a refrigerator that runs all the time. We test the fans, defrost system, thermostat and sensors, water valve and ice maker, and repair the cause. If your Whirlpool ice maker has stopped working, our guide to fixing a Whirlpool refrigerator that is not making ice covers the first checks. For all brands, see refrigerator repair.

Whirlpool Dishwasher Repair

Many Whirlpool dishwasher owners search for how to fix it themselves first, and some simple problems can be solved that way. If your Whirlpool dishwasher will not start, check that the door is fully latched, that the control lock is off, and that the breaker has not tripped. If it still will not start, if it leaves water behind, or if the dishes come out dirty, the door switch, control board, drain pump, wash motor or water supply usually needs repair. We test the dishwasher, fix the faulty part and run a cycle to confirm it works. Our article on common Whirlpool dishwasher problems and our dishwasher repair service have more detail.

Whirlpool Ovens, Ranges and Microwaves

We also repair Whirlpool gas and electric ranges, wall ovens, cooktops and microwaves. Typical faults include an oven that will not heat or that burns food unevenly, a bake or broil element that has failed, a gas burner that clicks but will not light, and a microwave that runs without heating. Visit our range repair and microwave repair pages.

Whirlpool Washer Codes You May See

Newer Whirlpool washers show codes to help narrow down a fault. Code meanings can vary by model, so check your owner's manual. These are the ones homeowners ask us about most:

  • F5E2: the door or lid did not lock. Make sure nothing is caught in the lid or door. If the code keeps returning, the lock assembly may have failed.
  • F8E1: the washer is not filling fast enough. Check that the water taps are fully open and the hoses are not kinked. If they are fine, the inlet valve may need repair.
  • F9E1: the washer took too long to drain. Check the drain hose and the pump area for blockages. If the problem continues, the drain pump may need replacing.

If a code comes back after you clear it, or the washer leaks or smells of burning, stop using it and call us at (916) 333-8388.

Is an Older Whirlpool Worth Fixing?

Often, yes. Many Whirlpool washers, dryers and refrigerators fail because of one worn part, such as a lid lock, a pump, a belt, a heating element or a fan, while the rest of the machine is still solid. Replacing that part is usually much cheaper than buying and installing a new appliance.

Replacing the appliance makes more sense when the tub, cabinet or sealed cooling system is badly damaged, when several big parts fail at once, or when the repair price comes close to the price of a new model. We give you an honest answer and an upfront estimate after the diagnosis, and the diagnosis is free when you book the repair.

Whirlpool Repair FAQ

These are the questions homeowners ask us most about Whirlpool appliance repair.

Is it worth repairing a Whirlpool refrigerator?

In most cases, yes. Fans, defrost parts, ice makers, sensors and water valves are common, repairable failures. If the cabinet and cooling system are in good condition, repair usually costs much less than a new refrigerator.

What is the most common problem with Whirlpool refrigerators?

The calls we get most are a fresh-food section that is not cold enough while the freezer works, and an ice maker that has stopped making ice. Both are usually caused by a single failed part.

Why won't my Whirlpool dishwasher start?

Check that the door is latched, the control lock is off and the breaker is on. If it still will not start, the door switch, control board or power supply inside the dishwasher may have failed, and we can test and repair it.

Why is my Whirlpool washer not spinning?

A lid or door lock problem, a drain blockage, a worn drive part or a motor fault can all stop the spin cycle. We find the cause and repair it, usually in one visit.

Are you an authorized Whirlpool repair company?

No. We are an independent local repair company. Use Whirlpool's own service while your appliance is under the manufacturer warranty. Out of warranty, we repair it with OEM parts and a 90-day parts and labor warranty.

Do you repair every Whirlpool appliance?

Yes. We repair Whirlpool washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, ranges, ovens, cooktops and microwaves, and we fix any type of problem.

How quickly can you come out?

We offer same-day and emergency appointments across the Greater Sacramento area, seven days a week.
