Use this guide to replace the solenoid valve in your Whirlpool dryer.
This valve controls the water supply to the steam spray nozzle.
If this valve fails, you will get no steam action on the steam cycles, or you may have clothes that get wet because of leaking water.
This guide will work for most Whirlpool dryers. This guide is written with a model WED87HED dryer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
