How to Disconnect a Whirlpool Dryer Buzzer
Whirlpool dryers, like other clothes dryers, come factory-equipped with a buzzer that sounds at the end of a drying cycle. This buzzer alerts the owner that the load inside the appliance's drum is dry and ready to be removed. Whirlpool dryer owners may find this feature to be unnecessary and want to disable it. This is not a difficult task and can be done in a matter of minutes with a few tools. Does this Spark an idea?
