WGD5700XL
Whirlpool WGD5700XL 27-Inch Gas Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Selecting the right part among many suffixes
- Igniter and gas valve operation
- Lint buildup in the exhaust
- Drum glides and rollers
- Start switch response
Of the gas dryers Whirlpool sold at 27 inches, the WGD5700XL has a long list of siblings: WGD5700XL0 and WGD5700XL1, plus WGD5700XQ0 and WGD5700XW0 with different endings. The letters near the end can mean a different color or revision.
That matters on a repair, because ordering by the base number alone can produce a part that nearly fits. We read the entire number off the model and serial label first. Then we work through the burner: igniter, valve coils, flame hold. Lint in the exhaust is the next suspect, followed by rollers and glides if the drum is noisy.
You will be quoted in writing before work begins. If the start switch is slow to respond, we test it and its wiring before replacing the control. Every repair is covered by our 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
Why do you need the full model number and not just WGD5700?
Each ending identifies a color or revision, and some parts differ between them. The full number from the model and serial label lets us order the right one.
My dryer spins but gives no heat. What are the likely causes?
Typically a worn igniter, a weak gas valve coil or a restricted vent that trips a thermostat. We test them in order so only the failed part is replaced.
Does the XQ or XW ending mean a different dryer?
It can mean a different finish or revision of the same family. We confirm which one you have from the label.
