11066862501 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

removed back panel. removed wire from old therastat one at a time put on new part re-installed thermastat. Replaced back panel & vent line plugged in better now.

I watched the video online in the order section. then just did it after we received the repair kit.

In accordance with supplied video and instructions. Special note - watch out for sharp edges on the dryer panels!

The repair was easy--thanks to your excellent videos--also, delivery was prompt and correct--your service is excellent--but, looks like I'll need another part--maybe door latch??? I'll troubleshoot and definitely contact PartSelect--Thank you--will recommend you!

We only had to tilt the dryer enough to be able to screw the leveling leg in place.The only hard part was holding the dryer steady to screw in the leveling foot.

Following the step by step instructions it took longer to clean the old lint out of the bottom of the dryer than to perform the entire repair.The maintenance kit came complete with every moving part(except the motor and drum)and now it runs very quietly.I am all thumbs when it comes to tools but this was very simple.

disconnect power - remove back panel - test continuity of thermo control switches - one is open (infinite resistance). Replacement kit consists of two switches - just replace the one that is open. turn on power - dryer now heats.

I removed the back panel of the dryer and the thermal fuse was about three quarters down the dryer. The exploded parts schematic was very helpful. I simply removed two screws to replace the thermal fuse and reinstalled the back panel. The dryer works great now.

I ordered a cycling thermostat and a thermal fuse to start with and put in the dryer. This didnt fix it so I then ordered a heating element. I took out the old one from the dryer and put in the new one that I ordered and received in a couple of days. It heats and runs like a new one now.Thanks for the quick service!

Removed 2 screws at filter vent on top of dryer Remove screen. Take screwdriver & pry up lid at 2 front corners. Lift lid. 2 more screws inside top front corners.Remove screws. remove front panel.wrap belt around tub. Take cup or can to hold tub in place level.Thread belt around tentioner pulley & motor shaft Look at directions very closely to figure out how to thread belt. read at least 5 times.LOL Reinstall & you are through.PS you can see where old belt rode so try to line up as close to track as possible.

Using the video on the site I was able to open the back on the dryer, replaced the thermal fuse and close it up in less than 15 minutes. Works great and saved me a ton of money.

I simply unplugged the dryer and removed the backing. Once off I located the part which was in plain sight, unhooked the wires and attached them to the new part. Put backing back on plugged it in and turned it on and it worked.

You have to disassemble the dryer. I looked up how to on youtube.com. I am grateful that people take the time to record the steps in which to do just about anything. Disassembled and ordered motor and fan, damaged fan taking it off, got it in in just a couple of days, installed motor, fan and drum, tested before complete assembly. Works great. Thanks

Kit arrived with all the parts required and with detailed instructions. LOL... the very specialized tool you will need to dis-assemble the dryer? A PUTTY KNIFE. All in all, aside from the top of the dryer slamming shut without warning and scaring the pants off me, this was a relatively easy repair from a technical level. Only real difficult thing was removing and then restoring the drum and that was more due to clearance than actually being difficult. Make sure once you're finished to LEVEL THE DRYER. That makes a HUGE difference!!!!!

Pulled dryer from wall, disconnected electrical plug, disconnected dryer vent, check vent flapper for proper operation, took back from dryer, replaced upper limit and heater limit, reinstalled all, checked dryer vent for obstructions, works fine now...
