Model Number: 110.86983110 Brand: Kenmore Age: 5 - 10 years
I have an electric kenmore dryer that no longer will heat. Everything else is working. I bought the dryer used from an appliance store that rebuilds used ones. I think it might be the heater element but I have no clue where to find it or if I am on the right track...Please help!!!

you will need an ohm meter to test the thermostats and element. Remove the rear panel and look at the wires, where it connects to the thermostats, remove only one set of wires at a time and test each thermostat for continuity. If one of them has not continuity then that's your bad part, if they do remoe the wires from the element and test it the same way.
post your results. Nat

You also might want to flip the breaker off and on a few times, to be sure that you don't have a partially tripped breaker. Tom ********************************************

It is possible to have a loose wire in the harness. Check all the connections(inside the internal plugs)

As you said, "check the wiring connections" and , indeed one of the knife connectors was loose... I closed it up and voila.. the heat returned! Many thanks..sometimes the obvious is too easy. |
