11065822400 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

since dryers are hard for me to determine. I used my OHMs meter to see that the Thermal Fuse was good. The door switch was good . The off on switch was bad.

I am a licensed electrician I found the bad part and I ordered it and when it came in I replaced it.

took the back off and the heating element and thermal fuse out. Reversed.

removed old one, threw it away, and inserted new one.

Using information found on this site, I was able to quickly locate the two bolts on the lower front panel of the dryer to get at the heating element. Once I removed the panel, I was able to use a multi-meter to determine that the heating element was the issue as the resistance reading was infinite opposed to the expected 10 ohms. When the replacement part arrived, I then re-accessed the heating element to remove it. I removed two bolts from the front deflector to gain access to the heating element (after opening the lower panel) and also removed a third bolt that held the heating element in. Once those were removed, I was able to remove the old heating element which was indeed bad as the wire was broken. I did find that it took a little effort to remove the old heating element. It was quite firmly placed in its location however once I put enough effort into it, it came out quite nicely and the replacement element went in quickly.

Removed two small screws on door edge, pop out broken part, insert new part, replace screws. Took 2 minutes 18 seconds. Nice to have various door catches in the Kit. This was a repair on a 1979 Whirlpool Dryer. Great price & service!!

I watched a fix it video and than just followed what it said to do. My husband was very impressed and it saved us a lot of money. I had my dryer running in no time. Parts came very quickly after I ordered them. Thank you

Removed two screws that allowed dryer lid to be opened up. That allowed access to door switch which was easily removed (two screws and disconnect switch). Replaced switch, closed lid and replaced two screws. Very east and quick.

Simply slid new idler wheel on then popped thr tri ring on. The belt replacment was the hardest thing which was also easy. I think pulling the dryer away from the wall was the most difficult thing.

I ordered the thermostat switch thinking I'd isolated the problem. Discovering that wasn't the problem, I disconnected and inspected the heater coils and found the break in the coil. I then ordered the heater element (also from Partselect.com). It was simple, fast and works like a champ. I did discover my outside vent had a bird's nest in it. You really need to occasionally check your dryer vent (inside and out), for lint and apparently bird's nests.

Maytag makes it really easy to replace this part. Unlike the video which has the access panel in the rear of the dryer, Maytag accesses all the thermostats and wiring front the front so you don't even have to pull the unit away from the wall. Smart!! The video was great to show you what the part looks like and how its installed. Installed the part in less than 10 minutes. Now our clothes are drying as they should in half the time...best $20 I spent in a while.

Had to take 2 screws out of the lint box.Lifted the dryer top and in 3 minutes I was done.I buy all my parts from partselect.A while back I replaced a thermastst in my refrigarator.They even have videos on here to show you if you never work on things befor.

Upon receipt of the new vent kit, I removed the dryer from its location and took it in to the garage. This facilitated a roomier work space. The directions were easy to follow and the work to be performed was very easy in this setting.

I watched the wonderful you tube video, and realized my whirlpool dryer was a bit different than the one used as an example. I first unplugged my dryer. I didn't need the putty knife because I had to take the sides off the top part of dryer that housed all the wires. I just needed a small Phillips head screwdriver for that. There were three screws holding the top of the dryer down, and i took those off with a small socket. Then I just slid the top of the dryer forward, took the top completely off, and there was the door switch on the upper left side. I unscrewed the switch from the dryer because I couldn't get it apart until I did. That was the hardest part of the whole process--pullining the switch apart. I used a flat head screwdriver and pliers to help separate it. At that point, I went online and ordered the door switch from Part Select. I received my part within two days. I put the new switch in, and it worked great--my dryer light also came back on when the new switch was installed. This is the first time I have ever attempted anything like this, but after seeing the video, I felt like I could do it. Just for the record...I am a female and 65!

Extremely easy! you can do this too. Just watch the video and have the few basic tools the video suggests. I am not skilled in repair at all. This part was shipped very fast and everything I needed was on the site. The hardest part was cleaning up the lint, seriously. Don't spend $100+ for a repair person to come to your home. This task is simple for anyone, any skill level.
