How to Get the Signal and Buzzer to Stop on a Whirlpool Dryer

Eliminate noise disruptions by disabling the cycle alert on your Whirlpool dryer.

The Whirlpool electric dryer has a cycle signal that sounds off with a loud buzzing noise to indicate the drying cycle is finished, and is enabled as a default setting on the dryer. Although the buzzer feature is helpful if you need a reminder to remove your clothes, it is loud enough to disturb others in your home or apartment. If you are drying a load of clothes late at night or do not wish to disturb others you can disable the dryer's buzzer, which causes the dryer to stop running automatically once the cycle's set time runs out.

Instructions

1. Push "Power" to turn on the Whirlpool dryer.

2. Press and hold the "Cycle Signal" button on the front of the dryer's control panel for three seconds to disable the control lock feature. The control lock feature prevents any changes from being made to the dryer when enabled.

3. Release the button after three seconds and press it once to disable the Cycle Signal's buzzer.

4. Turn the cycle control knob clockwise to adjust your dryer's fabric type setting.

5. Press the up or down arrow button to set the drying time and push "Start/Pause" to begin the drying cycle.
