11066852690 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

This is easy... unbolt the back panel on the dryer. there are just a few components there... watch the video this website has .. replace the 2 thermostat sensors ... easy.. i also cleaned in there... removing the air tube and vacuumed inside and around the fan unit... found 46 cents in change and some other crap. If your mechanical y inclined you should have no trouble doing any of this. When i put back the air tube i used new foam weather strip to seal it up.. need this to make it tight.

First I unpluged the dryer.I disconnected the vent remove 9 screws to take the back off. Remove the screws that held the thermostat & fuse, carefully remove the wires from the old ones and put them on the new ones. Places them back in places and put the screw back in. Replaced the back,put the vent back on, pluged it in and turn it on. Every thing worked properly. I watched the video before, I was well pleased with everything. Leo

took the back off looked at the element found a coil broken.found model number and ordered part. part came in fast, I was surpized when it came in within 48 hours had a little trouble disconnecting the wires, I didn't know how gentle to be.put the element back in place. Put the back on and yea it worked. the reason I decided to do it myself is because I spent 98 dollars with an appliance person about a month earlier putting the belt back on. I thougkt I was going to have to buy a new dryer. so it was worth the effort to look into fixing it myself. Rose in Texas

Used repair video as guideline, I did not have their lab conditions to work in and by no means a clean machine. Also I had a two part front panel vs. single as in video, so disassembly and reassembly were OJT."on job training". Video was however very usefull in locating problem, getting correct part and accomplishing the repair. Saved $$ and machine is now working properly again. Am saving this web-site to my favorites list.

Shut off power. Opened the top, removed 2 screws one on each side of front door. Opened clip and removed switch and unplugged wire. Removed front door by lifting it up off bottom clips. Removed the drum and checked the drum support wheels, idler and motor pulley. Shop vacuumed everything to get all the lint, dirt and spider webs out. I was lucky, my idler has a spring, so I cut a small piece of wood and put it between the exhaust pipe and the idler to keep it out of the way. I replaced the drum, slipped the belt over the drum and centered it over the pulley (old belt mark on the drum). I reached under the right side and put the belt around the motor pulley and carefully removed the wood holding the idler, turned the drum by hand to check it. Set the front door back in place, plugged the wire back in, put the switch back in the clip, put the 2 screws back in, turned the drum by hand again. OK! Turned power back on and started the dryer. Total new belt installation time was under 10 minutes.

I faced the intimidating Kenmore clothes dryer head on..fearless, cause that's how I roll. Utilizing my mad Kung-Fu skills I stared deep into the knobs striking fear into the household appliance, I immediately established myself as the dominate repair man in this awkward " love/hate" arangement. I just kept thinking to myself, "Remember: Eye of the Tiger." Once the brow-beaten dryer realzed "who's the boss" I began to commence the procedure. In lieu of all of the painful and embarassing moments that the dryer punished me with due to its breakdown, I decided to return the favor by using incorrect tools for the job! (Yeah, that'll hurt) With my bare hands and ONLY a pair of pliers I spun the dryer around, bent it over and then slowly removed every single hex screw from the back. Then once the plate was removed, I identified the heater element, took a picture of the wiring diagram ( since i cant remmeber where the red wire goes) and removed it. I then replaced it with the new heating element and reassembled the dryer. A few minutes later, I found myself next to a good as new dryer!!

Followed the video

Heating element had 2 wire connections and 2 screws that held it in place and was easy to replace. Thermal fuse had 2 wire connections and 1 screw holding it in place. Over all, this repair took about 5 minutes to complete and the dryer works great again! Mike N.

layed the dryer door side down, took 6 nuts off back metal panel, then took the bolt off at bottom and reached in and pulled drum support rod loose, removed old roller, installed new roller, reached in set drum support rod back into hole where the threads were showing on the outside where the nut was then put back on and tightened back up, put a pair of vicegrips underneath on rod to hold in place while tightening up nut,placed cover panel back on with screws and now it works like a new one, runs very quiet. Cost was 25 dollars for part nothing to do it ourselves. We priced new dryers that size they're well over 400 dollars. Easy REpair!!

I removed the back cover’ screws, and replace the heating element.
I did learn that my dryer could be a fire hazard, if I had turn on a fan in the basement.
Behind the dryer and inside of it there was lots of lint.
I cleaned lint inside the dryer that accumulated for 5 ½ years.

I had purchased a motor for the dryer first. The blower wheel broke while I was trying to take the motor off from the blower wheel. Installing the new wheel was fairly easy once I took the blower cover of at the back of the dryer and literally brake the wheel of the motor shaft.

Removed back panel as instructed. removed heating element saw that it was broken, put in new element, replaced back panel, and tada!! heating Thanks a million, and delivery was so fast

For 2 years, I propped a broom stick against my dryer door to keep it shut while it was running. Last Sunday night, I decided that it was about time to fix it. I found the PartSelect site, which was extremely easy to navigate, and ordered a replacement kit. It arrived in 2 days via Fed Ex and actually contained extras of each of the 2 components, in slightly different sizes. It took me about 10 minutes of eyeballing the parts to figure out how to place them and about 30 seconds to install the new latch parts. They fit perfectly. Great site, great service, I would highly recommend this site.

found out that pushing in on wheel and turning counter clock wise, wheel screws off rather easy.

Removed back of dryer and the fuse was right there in plain sight. Had to remove a screw and pull contact wires from fuse. Attached wires to new fuse, replaced screw that held fuse in place. Replaced dryer back. This web site is great! Diagnosed my problem, and then received the replacement part the next day! I will use the site again, if necessary, and recommend it to others.
