11060802990 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

Remove two screws on top holding the filter frame.Use flat screwdriver to snap top at front off front panel.Swing top up and secure it against wall or tie in place. Remove screws holding front panel and kick panel to side panels.Did'nt remove back panel.Remove drive belt from pully wheel and then use belt to lift out drum.Use open end wrench on motor pully at rear and I used a socket set on the front of motor,Push down on wrench,counter clockwise,and hold the front pully from moving mine came right off. My dryer is over 10 yrs so the electric conection was changed but the instruction sheet explained how to change the wires,just follow the wire color,easy.

I found some help on-line that suggested some of the most likely causes. The on-line videos showed how to remove clips/panels to access the parts. Once I found the possibly failed parts, door switch and thermal fuse, I did a quick continuity check and found that the thermal fuse had an open circuit.

Took off the backplate of dryer, replaced fuse, done.

afer looking at the expoled views of the drier and locating the switch i checked to switch operation and found it wouldn't click.i ordered the switch,it arrived in just a couple days(right in the middle of the xmas holidays)i popped the top on the drier after finding 2 screws on the lint screen opening on top,2 screws mounted the switch,reassembled in reverse order and tested the drier.it was easy and with the new part in hand i saved aprox 200.00 dollars fixing it myself. p.s. please unplug the drier before starting any repairs...

My black very cool 15 year old Kithenaid electric dryer stopped working. No power. I tried the timer and it was still clicking like it was working. I opened the door then pushed the on button and heard a click which made me feel the door switch and on button were working. I replaced the cycling thermostat and thermal fuse and everything is fine. I wish i would have bought the other thermostat as I was right there and it was not that much. Dyer is working fine. This site is great. My repair guy moved out of state...I also disassembled the vent tube and vacuumed out all sorts of stuff and vacuumed the motor and all the area I could get to with the back, top and lower cover removed and waxed the dryer.
