11062722100 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

The removal of the front door assy was very easy after I popped up the top cover with a putty knife.Once removed it was easier to replace belt and idler assy with dryer on its backside.the only trick was to get looped thru idler roller and then fasten bracket in slot on bottom of dryer.also the instructions were well written which made re-assy much simplier.

I put my mind into the repair based on what I saw for a problem and what was given for advise. I was steered toward the thermal fuse, ordered and installed it. Not repaired, in checking the power backward to the panel I found that the dedicated panel had one side blown still allowing for the motor to run but not the element. hmmm

Watched the video and performed as instructed- Could not have been easier- Great site with Great information

I came home from work to notice the dryer singing a different tune than usual. I opened the door and noticed that the tub wasnt turning. I popped the top of the dryer up to find a disentigrated belt. Fired up the computer and in a few minutes had ordered the $8 ($15 including shipping) replacement belt. 3 Days later took the shopvac and cleaned up the lint and broken belt pieces. Installed the new belt and was back in business with my 8 year old dryer. ** The only complaint comes from my wife who got her hopes up for a new front load washer and dryer** thanks partselect for saving my wallet in more than one way!

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.

well the problem wasn't the start switch, it was the thermal fuse and thermometer. they blew because I didn't screw them back onto the blower housing after the motor and fan repair. However, start switch repair was very easy. unplug dryer, pull off the plastic start button, unscrew the back top panel using a 1/4 inch socket wrench (I think this is what it is called). once inside, the start switch is located at top left. need to pull the top clip with your thumb or finger while twisting the connector to the left, it comes right out. change out the start switch and reassemble. Videos located on youtube. I have changed out 12 parts (2 rollers, 2 shafts, start switch, idler pulley, belt, rear felt seal, motor, blower fan, thermal fuse and the cycling or initial bias thermometer) on this dryer in past couple of months for a squeaky dryer, dryer still squeaking, dryer won't run at all, etc. all videos were located on youtube most by partselect. motor and blower fan were the initial problem and then Then the thermal fuse and thermometer.

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.
