Low Voltage or Missing Line Voltage
Quick Answer
Error code L2 on your Whirlpool Dryers means: Low Voltage or Missing Line Voltage. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Likely Causes
  1. One leg of the 240V supply has been lost due to a tripped breaker or blown fuse
  2. Loose connection at the dryer terminal block or power cord
  3. Defective wall outlet not providing full voltage on both legs
  4. Damaged power cord with a broken conductor
How to Fix It
1
Check the circuit breaker panel and ensure both breakers for the dryer circuit are fully on
2
Use a multimeter to test the dryer outlet for 240V between the two hot terminals, and 120V between each hot and neutral
3
Inspect the dryer power cord terminals at the terminal block for loose or burned connections
4
If voltage is correct at the outlet but low at the dryer, replace the power cord
5
If the outlet does not provide correct voltage, have a licensed electrician repair the circuit
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
