11060857990 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

Parts Go Ppppcame in two days, they took fifteen minutes to install.I followed the pdf.instructions from the web site.Cost of parts was less than a service call.

This was by far so easy the instruction Partselect gave me where right on step by step. a repair man was going to charge 75$ just to come out 9$ from partselect. Thank you very much Mike chaplin

Our dryer has 3 settings and each was slowly burning out. Although I really want a new, fancy dryer, I just can't afford it right now. A friend mentioned that her spouse repaired their dryer by watching a youtube video, so I was intrigued. I typed in "how to fix a dryer" in youtube and the PartSelect video's came up. I watched the "How to change your heating element" one and figured if a professional could do it in a 4 min video, surely I could accomplish it as well. I ordered the part from this site (not only convenient, it was the best online price). It came the next day and I was able to install it in less than 15 minutes. I'm a 33 yr old woman with little "tool" knowledge. Seriously- an EASY repair. It makes me mad that I was about to pay over $200 for a "professional" to do it... OR spend over $700 to buy a new dryer. I was glad youtube directed me to PartSelect! Thank you for making those videos! (oh, and your site is sooooo user friendly. One of the best sites I've seen. I love how it directed me to the exact part I needed. Seriously great site.)

Removal of the rear component cover simply required the removal of (6)X 1/4 bolts. Heating element has two spade connectors that i removed and a retaining bolt on either side. Thermal sensor is removed and installed on to the new coil and installation is the reverse of removal...NOTE caution when trying to crimp the open in the coil as it will most likely weld itself open again.

Unplugged dryer. Removed lint tray screws. Opened top of dryer and removed the two face screws then removed front of dryer. Released the belt tensioner. Then removed the drum. Disconnected the wiring clip and with a creseant wrench held the back of motor and turned the nut in the front clockwise to loosen the motor from the vent fan. Then simply pulled the old motor out and reversed the steps and now have a great working old dryer again.

I went online looked up whirlpool and got the phone number and called them told the person on the phone the model number and Ineeded a heating element Igave credit card information had my part in 2days .put that in and discovered Ialso needed athermostat so Icalled whirlpool back and ordered my thermostat and received it in 2 days put the thermostat in put the back on the dryer and I was back in business didn't get behind waiting on my washing ,,not tomention we were in the process of moving thank you you'll worked with me .Iwould buy another whirlpool product easy to work on a and awesome customer service .

I replaced the Heating Element. I would recommend that you spend the time and pull off all of the heat sensors and check them for continuity before you replace the heating element.

I watched the video that showed how to do the repair. I did exactly what I was shown on the video, and everything worked the very first time ! It was GREAT ! No more squeaking idle pulley !

Followed the video from this site. Worked like a charm.

took off the back pannel, testedt the continuity of the heating coils, instaled new heater element. supper easy.

If your dryer is not heating when turned on, first check your circuit breakers. Dryers with 220 volt have 2 - 110 volt circuit breakers attached to each other. If you don't find any breakers tripped the next thing you should do is disconnect the dryer from all power sources. With a multi meter check the 220 volt wall outlet for 110 volts on each side. Then check for 220 volts when attached together. If that all checks good then it's time to move to the heating element. Simply remove the back cover from dryer (dryer must be unplugged from all power sources) at the bottom right you'll find the hearing element connection. Disconnect both connectors and check for continuity. If no continuity then chances are your hearing element has a break in one of the coils.

The dryer would not start when pushing the power button and the timer clicked rapidly. Another You Tube video lead us to the thermal fuse. First, we took the lower front panel off, it had two little groove places to pry open with a flat head screwdriver. Then we took off the venting piece. It was jammed full of lint which is why the thermal fuse blew. The thermal fuse itself was tricky to get at the nut in order to loosen it. We vacuumed out all the lint, cleaned the venting piece and lint filter. When the part came, again the nut was tricky, but just requires patience. Put everything back together and the dryer works great again! Really easy and I wonder how many dryers get replaced when this happens.

Removed rear trim cover and vent hose, removed heating element, checked print and unplugged stay-con connections to haeter and thermal. Coil was burnt in two, got on net for kenmore parts and entered # on the part.Recieved in 3 days FEDEX and installed in reverse order. Works like new!
