11062812100 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

Followed online youtube directiond to dissassemble dryer cabinet. Everything is readily accessible and belt and idler are easily installed. Comments from others express frustration at the instability of the idler pulley bracket. The key is to keep seating pressure on bracket until the belt is installed at which time the belt supplies continuous pressure to seat the bracket. The bracket is very stable so long as moderate force is applied to hold the brackett in the seat. The belt install is counter intuitive in that the ribbed side of the belt is installed in contact with the drum instead of the flat side. The readon for this is so the belt ribs seat in the grooves of the motor pully and provide greater friction. Flat side of the belt on the drum places the flat belt on the grooved pulley with much reduced contact area.

watched the video on part select.com was a very easy job whenever you had someone showing you what needed to be done,thanks for the help and great customer service.

real easy after watching instructions of what i would need and what to do

Just follow the video by Parts Select., The repair is really easy.

Disconnect back of dryer gas/elec then I unscrewed the back panel, and chisel the panel off with a hammer and a old wood chisel to remove the welds spots, changed out the thermostat and I had to use tap screws to put back panel

used your video instructions were great a great tool to repair. know wonder the maytag man is not busy ha ha .

Power off by removing plug from wall outlet. Remove two Phillips screws under lint screen filter door. (careful you don't drop them down the filter housing) Pry upper lid loose at both front corners and elevate and retain the lid vertically. Separate old 3 wire switch connector splice halves at upper right housing corner. Remove two Phillips screws at upper right corner of outer front doorway which hold switch. Install new switch with those two screws. Re-connect the connector splice halves; they are keyed for one direction. Close down lid. Plug in power cord.

i replaced both the high limit and cycling thermostats because cost was not that much and these thermostats change settings as they age. After replacing the thermostats the problem was solved.

watched the repair video and had no problem doing the repairs. they were VERY helpful!

Per video demonstration offered in web. Very simple. Thanks for your help.

so being the WOMAN that I am I decided to take it apart. well low and behold I found out it was the pulley and belt so I decide too order from parts select easiest thing I've ever done yay me

Video showed 3 ways to remove the top section to access the switch. None of which worked on my unit. Instead there were 4 screws on the rear section of the control panel that had to be removed and then lift it past the top of unit to slide forward to remove top to access the switch after that all was the same as video.

I googled the main reasons why a dryer wont start. Ordered the suggested parts and went through them one by one. Replaced thermal fuse as it was said this was a main reason it wont turn on. Kept the new fuse in as I believe it was the original. Then I went to the door switch when I compared them I knew I had found the cause. I replace the door switch then plugged it back in and success. I took it a step a time. .

Watched the tutorial online. Took the back off- replaced the fuse. Put the back on . It was extremely easy !!

The installation video was spot on. The repair went smoothly and now my dryer works great.
