About this model
Model overview
The WED8700E is a Whirlpool Cabrio-series vented electric dryer with an 8.8 cubic-foot drum, 29 inches wide and 32 1/4 inches deep. It is a smart dryer, and the app can start and pause cycles remotely while showing progress and energy use. Around the Bay Area, owners first notice a squeal, thump or grinding noise, or a drum that stops turning, and those sounds help a technician narrow the fault. In your booking, note the sound or symptom, the complete number from the rating label including any trailing letters, and whether the app displayed an error.

What sets the WED8700E apart
The app layer is what sets the WED8700E apart. Remote starting, pausing and progress tracking let an owner begin a load from another room, and Download & Go pulls customized drying cycles from the app onto the dryer. Energy-use tracking shows how much power each run took. The WED8700EC variant uses a Chrome Shadow finish, and its controls match the base model.

- Squealing, thumping or grinding.
- Drum not turning.
- Clothes still damp after a full cycle.
- Cycle ends too early.
Service notes for the WED8700E
Squealing, thumping or grinding on this dryer often comes from the drum rollers or the idler pulley, and a technician reaches them after the front panel is removed. A drum that will not turn points to the drive belt or motor, so the belt is the first thing to check. Clothes that stay damp after a full run send the technician to the moisture sensing bars and the exhaust path. Before any of that, the owner should unplug the dryer, clear the lint screen and confirm the app shows no pause warning. Cycles that finish early tend to share the same sensing path.
