What L2 means
A Kenmore dryer numbered 110, Whirlpool-built, reports L2 for low or no line voltage. It belongs to the same family as F4 E4 and is printed in the owner manual next to PF. The home supply is not giving the dryer what it needs on one leg, so the heater may not turn on. The owner sees L2 and the dryer may tumble cool.
Common causes of L2
- Two-pole breaker with one leg tripped
- Fuse blown at the panel
- Cord connection
- Supply voltage at the outlet
1. Touch any pad to clear the display. 2. Check both breakers for the dryer circuit. 3. Check the power cord connection. 4. Run a heated Timed Dry cycle. 5. If L2 returns, call an electrician or us. Keep the dryer circuit breaker in sight while you test.
- L2 can be a house issue, so a dryer repair would not help.
- We measure voltage at the outlet before we open the dryer.
- You get a written price first, and a 30-day workmanship warranty applies.
Other Dryer codes
Why is L2 on the display?
Low or no voltage on one leg of the dryer supply. It is the same condition as F4 E4 on this 110-series, Whirlpool-built platform, and the same breaker checks apply.
Can L2 be confused with PF?
No. PF is a power failure message, while L2 is a low voltage reading. They sit next to each other in the owner manual, which is why they are often confused.
Will it clear itself?
Touch any pad to clear it. The message returns if the supply is still short, so check both breakers before you start another heated cycle.
Still seeing L2?
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
