Whirlpool Appliance Repair in Salt Lake City & Across Utah
We repair Whirlpool washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, ovens and cooktops in homes across the Wasatch Front, the same day whenever possible. PowerClean is independent — not affiliated with Whirlpool and not a Whirlpool authorized service center. Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, JennAir and older Admiral and Estate appliances come from the same Whirlpool family and often share its parts, so we repair them as well.
when possible
Whirlpool appliances we repair
PowerClean is an independent appliance repair company that fixes Whirlpool washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges and ovens across Salt Lake, Utah and Davis counties, the same day whenever possible, with OEM parts whenever available and an $80 diagnostic credited toward the repair.
Top-load washers
Agitator and impeller models, including older direct-drive machines. Lid locks and switches, motor couplings, shift actuators, drain pumps and suspension parts are the usual repairs.
Whirlpool top-load washersFront-load washers
Door locks, drain pumps and torn or leaking door boots are common repairs. A roaring spin usually means worn tub bearings, and we'll tell you whether that's worth fixing.
Whirlpool front-load washersDryers
Electric and gas models that won't heat, won't start, squeal or take too long to dry. Belts, idler pulleys, drum rollers, heating elements and thermal fuses are routine repairs.
Whirlpool dryersRefrigerators
French-door, side-by-side and top-freezer models. We fix defrost failures, fans, water inlet valves and ice makers, and diagnose fridges that run but don't cool.
Whirlpool refrigeratorsOvens
Wall ovens and range ovens, gas and electric. The usual fixes are bake and broil elements, igniters, temperature sensors, door locks and control boards.
Whirlpool ovensRanges and cooktops
Freestanding and slide-in ranges, plus coil, smooth-top and gas cooktops. We repair burners, surface elements, infinite switches and controls.
Whirlpool ranges and cooktopsDishwashers
Whirlpool, Maytag and KitchenAid dishwashers that won't drain, clean or dry, or leak onto the floor.
Whirlpool dishwashersWhat usually goes wrong with Whirlpool appliances?
Top-loader won't spin or the lid lock flashes
A newer Whirlpool top-loader won't spin until it locks the lid, so a flashing lid lock light and soaking-wet clothes often share a cause: the lid lock assembly or the striker on the lid. Older direct-drive models use a simple lid switch instead. If the lid locks but the basket still won't spin, we check the shift actuator and suspension, among other causes of a washer that drains but won't spin.
Washer won't drain
Standing water after a cycle usually means a drain pump jammed by a sock or coin, a failed pump, or a kinked drain hose. Some front-loaders have a pump filter behind a small door at the bottom: unplug the washer, let hot water cool, and drain the tub through the little hose beside the filter into flat pans before unscrewing it. Our washing machine repair page explains what we check next.
Dryer runs but won't heat
On an electric Whirlpool dryer, no heat usually means a burned-out heating element, a blown thermal cutoff on the heater housing or a failed thermostat. The cutoff blows when the dryer overheats, often from restricted airflow, so we track down that cause as well. Gas models have their own causes, which our guide to a dryer that runs but won't heat walks through.
Dryer takes two or three cycles
If a Whirlpool dryer heats but needs two or three cycles for a normal load, it's nearly always airflow: a clogged lint screen, a crushed duct or a lint-packed vent. Our technicians inspect the vent path and clear blockages as part of a dryer repair visit. Moisture sensor bars coated in dryer-sheet residue can also end a cycle early — another reason a dryer takes too long to dry.
Fridge runs warm with frost in the freezer
Frost on the freezer's back wall while the fridge runs warm usually means the defrost system has failed — its heater, thermostat or control — and a stopped evaporator fan can warm the fridge too. We test both first when a refrigerator stops cooling, and our refrigerator repair page lists the other causes. If the compressor or sealed system is the problem, we repair that too, and you get the price before any work.
Oven won't reach temperature
On electric models, a burned-through bake element is the usual reason an oven turns on but won't heat, and a drifted temperature sensor can leave it running well below the setting. On gas models, it's often a weak igniter that glows but can't draw enough current to open the gas valve, one of the faults listed on our oven repair page. If you smell gas, leave and call your gas utility.
Maytag, KitchenAid and Amana too
Whirlpool Corporation owns KitchenAid, and its purchase of Maytag brought Amana, JennAir and Admiral into the family. Estate is also a Whirlpool name. A Maytag washer built since that purchase often uses the same platform and parts as a Whirlpool, so the technician who fixes one can fix the other.
KitchenAid is the family's premium kitchen line, and JennAir sits above it. Our brands page covers the common faults on Maytag washers and dryers and KitchenAid refrigerators and ovens. Amana, JennAir, Admiral and Estate are on our full brand list.
How we approach Whirlpool repairs
Every repair starts with a diagnostic in your home: a PowerClean technician finds the fault, then gives you repair options and pricing before any work begins. If a repair doesn't make sense for the age of the appliance, we'll say so. Our technicians carry the components that fail most often, so most repairs finish in one visit, and if a part has to be ordered, we come back to finish the job. Book online or call to set up a visit.
- OEM Whirlpool parts whenever they're available
- $80 diagnostic, credited toward the repair if you go ahead
- Same-visit repair when the part is on the truck
