Dryer quit heating.
This dryer is 30 plus years old. I am a 71 year old female that has never taken on this type of repair. First I very carefully ordered all parts possibly associated with this problem. Watched all videos available for this model. Could not find one at Parts Select that addressed this particular dryer. Model number was correct. Finally
... Read morefound YouTube video that addressed an "Old Kenmore Wood Top". It showed the correct way to remove the Heating Element unit. Also Parts Select never mentions that fuses and sensors are not "polarized". Very important info for a novice. But Google helped me with that. Heating Element is "polarized", very important not to cross wires. I did order a couple Heating Element Connection Wire Kits that were not needed for this repair. Got all parts replaced, put dryer back together, crossed my fingers and turned it on, so far it has been working really well. I chose to replace all the parts I did because of the dryers age, plus I am not familiar with multimeters. Didn't want to risk one old part messing up a new part. Thank you Parts Select. It is not a 2 hr. repair, but I worked slowly, didn't want to make any mistakes. It would be good if everyone is aware of some of the above information and the YouTube video done by an individual on this particular dryer.
Test all censors with a voltmeter like the video showed on you tube. I found out that the heating element wasn’t working so while I was there I swapped other thermostats and components to give my 20 year old dryer, some more life. Thank you partselect.com ( I got a adjustable thermostat which didn’t have any instructions, how to set the r

For the thermal fuse, dryer would not start. For the heating element, dryer would not heat up.
First disconnect power supply either by switching off breaker or unplug dryer cord, or do both if you are a safety freak. Pull dryer out so you can get to the back panel. Take the dryer hose off, then take screws out from around panel and remove it. For the THERMAL FUSE take one screw out, unplug wires and replace thermal fuse. For HEATIN
... Read moreG ELEMENT, unplug the two wires from element. At top of air duct there is one screw to get out. You need a long flat head screwdriver. Reach through a small hole on dryer back to the screw. Once screw is out, lift up on air duct to get it out. Once you have it out there is one screw holding heating element in air duct. Remove screw, slide element out and reverse steps from when you took it apart to put it back together.
Undid the back, remove wires going to element, unscrew lint trap, pop the top and undid the nut-screw holding the element housing. pulled out the bad element and did everything in reverse with the new element... unplug it first though because I left that step out.

Dryer runs but, no heat
found a video online and followed the instructions. First unplug dryer, then take off back cover with a 1/4 inch socket unscrew the 5 screws from the cover and remove back. Then with a ohms meter you have to check to see what terminals are bad. In my case it was the heating element. So, next you go to top of dryer and unscrew the lint tra

Then gently lift housing unit up off the hinges and pull it out. Then turn over and there is another screw that holds the heating element in. After unscrewed the element pulls right out and then just put new element in and reverse everything.

I followed the advice that was already published for my Dryer. I removed the cover on the rear of the Dryer, Disconnected the two wires attached to the Heating Element.

Can you change just the heating element or do you have to change the housing as well? Mine looks like the front and back of the heating element housing are secured together and look like they can't be taken apart. Can you provide some information on how to get the heating element out of the housing. Thank you

Does the heating element wire have to be broke apart to not heat up?
For model number 11086870100
Hello Mark, Thank you for the question. Not at all times will the element show physical signs or damage to be defective. I suggest testing the element with a multi meter to check for continuity to determine if it is defective. Hope this helsp!

Hello, i had a heating element replaced in our Kenmore dryer 12/2107 model # 11066922500 serial # ms3110230 i kept the old heating element and put it in the box the new one came in. It just went out again. I did make an appointment with sears again, but noticed that the replacement part was a Whirlpool heating element model wp3387747. Is this compatible in a Kenmore dryer, because it only lasted for about 2 years.
