KEYE679BBL0 KitchenAid Dryer - Instructions

First and foremost, PartSelect is awesome! I placed the order on a Monday afternoon with regular shipping, and I had the belt Tuesday evening. Total repair involved removing several screws to open the top and front of the dryer, then installing the new belt. Pay close attention to the the dryer seal - make sure this is completely set. This was a very, very easy repair, and it cost me less than $20 for part and shipping! Also, the video on the PartSelect site shows exactly how to make this repair, and was very helpful.

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

Moved the dryer from wall,removed back cover(6-8 screws),removed the knob,twisted off the switch,replaced switch,reinstalled rear cover and moved unit back to wall.

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.

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

i received the part the very next day! amazing service and delivery time! thank you so much!

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.

I replaced the thermal fuse and it started right up.

Well it took me longer to get the dryer apart and than it did to get it back together... Well I opened it up it was obvious I had burned up the motor you couldn't even see it for all the lint that was built up around it... And the hardest part was removing the fan from the motor shaft, I didn't realize it was plastic and sort of mangled it getting it off so I went ahead and replaced it as well. The hardest part of the whole repair was removing and replacing the clips that hold the motor in place and there didn't seem to be any trick to it, I used a pair of channel locks and a little muscle to get them off and back on everything else was a breeze! I recommend checking the exhaust pipe at least once a year to make sure air is flowing freely to prevent the lint build up inside and even more often if you have a long run. This should prevent having this problem again...

At first dryer would not turn off so you had to turn it off manually. Then dryer lost heat, so I took it apart and the heating element wires had been melted. I decided to get the sensors and the heating element because I had the problem of it not shutting off before the heating element went out. Took me about 30 mins, works like a charm. Only have to do one cycle again. My advice replace the sensors if you are having to do multiple cycles and save yourself the price of a new heating element
