1106192310 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

I first unplugged the dryer and pulled it away from the wall. I had to remove the vent tubing to gain access to the rear of the unit, then removed the screws on the back panel of the dryer. I took off the panel and noticed that lint that had gathered over the years around the back of the dryer. I vacuumed it clean then proceeded to problem solve. I noticed four easily identifiable areas, the thermal cut-off switch and thermostat located by the heating coil and the thermostat and fuse near the venting area. I first checked the fuse with a ohm meter, it was okay. I removed each component one at a time and created a bypass with a alligator clip wire. Plugged the dryer back in to determine if heat was produced while testing each area one at a time. I determined that heat was produced after bypassing the thermal cut-off switch. I then ordered the thermal cut-off switch kit (arrived within 3 days) and installed it within 20 minutes. The longest time spent was trouble shooting, the removal and installation was very easy. By the way, I did use the ohm meter to check the resistance across the thermostats as indicated in previous postings, but I found the results and technique to be more confusing. A bypass worked the best for me and much more reliable. The heat started immediately. I highly recommend downloading the schematics of your unit for part number and location identification.

I shorted the thermal cutout after removing the back.
I then ordered the thermal Cut-Off Kit from PartSelect.
While this was not my first order from them, I was still impressed with the ease and by how soon I received the part without any hassles or glitches. PartSelect will be my primary parts supplier from now on.

Took dryer apart. Should've started with You tube videos so I took more apart than I needed.

Got all the parts I needed from Parts select.

Fixed it and works great.

I ordered the part(and a backup) and had it in two days. 5 days less than ordering from sears.

Followed the video and stopped at each part not one issue very easy repair most difficult was separating the electric from from panel a little tricky to get apart.

Pulled out the very old worn out and damaged filter screen and replaced it with a new filter screen.

Simply removed old dryer lint collector and installed the new one.

There were no repairs - I just ordered a lint screen because the screen on the last one pulled away from the frame and wasn't doing a good job of catching the lint. Took approximately 2 seconds to push the new one in the slot.

Fast efficient delivery from Parts Select.com.

No need to publish this I'm sure.

Received the new lint removal from the box and install it easily

Easily installed lint filter for my 25 yr old dryer Thanks

Thank goodness the part was still available for a 25 year old dryer. Website was great to help solve the problem and the video was wonderful to show me how to identify the part and how to get to it. You take off the back of the dryer and then unscrew the thermostat from it's mooring. Undo the 4 wire connections. Stick in the new thermostat and re-install. Thank you!

I fixed it with my soccer set I took the lent thing off and clean it out was stopped up with lent didint need the parts I order but I will keep them for the future.

See video.
Two additional tips:
When disconnecting the door sensor slide the putty knife under the plastic latch from your right.
Use clothespins to hold the felt seal in place during glueing process.

just remove 4 screws removed the drum and put the affected part and that's it

Replaced thermal sensors.
