Whirlpool WED8500BC Electric Dryer Repair

Book a Service Call(713) 589-6107

Most common issues on this model

  1. Element and fuse continuity with a meter
  2. Door switch and start circuit
  3. Airflow and lint in the vent and blower housing
  4. Belt, idler and rollers
  5. Drum noise or burning smell from lint contact

Whirlpool built the WED8500BC as an electric dryer at the common 27-inch width. The same number is sold with other revision and color suffixes, including WED8500BC0, WED8500BR0 and WED8500BW0, so the full number on the label is the one we match to.

Dryers of this size typically sit in a laundry closet, a hallway alcove or a garage utility room. Cycle options are not confirmed for this number, so we describe the service approach rather than invent features. A burning smell usually means lint has reached the heating element housing, which is a vent and cleaning issue first. A dryer that does not heat gets the element, thermal fuse and thermostat tested. A dryer that does not turn gets the belt and idler pulley inspected.

Parts are matched to the plate inside the door opening, including the suffix. The price is written down before the job, and the repair is guaranteed for 30 days.

WED8500BCWED8500BC questions
My dryer smells like burning. Should I keep using it?

Stop using it until it is checked. On an electric dryer, the cause is often lint around the element or a restricted vent. We clean the cabinet, test the thermostats, and measure airflow.

Which suffix is on my dryer?

Look inside the door opening or on the back panel for the label. The full number ends in a letter and a digit, such as BC0, and we match parts to that.

How available are parts for a 27-inch electric dryer?

Belts, elements, switches and rollers for 27-inch electric dryers are widely stocked. We confirm the label first, so the part we bring is the right one.
