11065202311 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

Unplug from the wall ,remove upper back panel ( watch out for the grounding wire screwed to the panel), pulled off front knob, then twist and pull the switch out. Unplug the burned out switch, plugged in the new one. Re-assembled what I took apart, plugged her up and dried the load that was in the washer. Note: if yours is burned out due to house power surge make sure the timer is working after you replace the switch, you might need one of thoes too.

Repair was very easy only took about ten minutes

After the new filter arrived, I took the old filter out, put the newe one in. No tools, no difficulty at all. Actually, the really difficult part of this entire episode was finding the model number on the dryer. It was on the underside of the door.

Lint screen on my 30-year dryer was torn. Ordered the new screen here with just the part number, fits well. Very helpful website.

Unplugged dryer. Removed dial. Removed old timer (3 screws) and left wires attached. Installed new timer. Disconnected wires from old timer to connect on new timer. Plugged in dryer......everything worked again.

checked all the thermostats and the heating element all good had continuity checked the red wire from the timer to the element and it was not sending 120v to the element consistently ordered the timer and replaced in 15 minutes had my dryer heating and drying clothes
parts select had all the wiring diagrams on my model and a how to do video made it easy peasy

I didn't think I could find a replacement part because the dryer was so old (it has fake wood paneling!) and I was already considering the cost of a new dryer. I searched online and found this site. I crossed my fingers and placed my order. When it came, I removed what was left of the old lint remover and put in the new one. It was a perfect match. The colors were a bit off but who cares. PartSelect saved me from having to purchase a new dryer. Yay!

Unplug dryer,remove top rear panel.remove wires from old timer and reconnect to the new one,replace panel.

First cleaned the back of dryer. Loosened six (6) screws on the back side of the dryer. Took a picture of the connections then proceeded to pull all the connections
Got the new timer and made all the connections. Put back & tightened all the screws . It took approximately twenty minutes to finish replacing the timer.

At first I was advised to replace the temperature overload sensors, which I did but didn't fix the problem. After adding the additional information that the dryer would run to full cycle as long as the Start switch was held in I was advised to replace the Start switch.

It wasn't obvious from the wiring diagram, but if you remove the Start switch and look at the side it shows it contains a solenoid holding circuit that keeps the switch in the "on" mode as long as there is a feedback signal from the temperature overload switches. So if the dryer will run to completion if the switch is held in, replace the Start switch. If it still stops mid-cycle, replace the temperature overload switches.

The replacement videos were spot on as far as clear and easy to follow instructions for the repair, and all ordered parts were delivered very quickly.

Thanks for your help PartsSelect!

Nothing to it. Just remember to put the insert in the knob, NOT on the selector stem. Line up the flat part of the insert with the flat part of the stem and push the knob in place.

Don NOT ram it on the selector stem. When it's seated, don't push any more. That's all there is to it. It works. If the pointer on the knob indicates the selector is lined up correctly, but it isn't, the problem is the selector, not the knob.

one socket wrench very easy and I am a 78 year old women.
