Dryer not drying well. I cleaned all lint out of machine and replaced exhaust duct.The element gets red hot but doesnt stay on the whole time. I think that I should probably replace the thermostats . there seems to be 4 different theromstat or cut off type devices.

Here are your parts Replacement parts for KENMORE 11063952101 | AppliancePartsPros.comHere is the tech sheet, see attachment. [COLOR="DarkRed"]The element gets red hot but doesn't stay on the whole time.[/COLOR] Not sure what you mean. It is normal for te element to turn on/off during the cycle. It is either full on or full off. Read more: http://forum.appliancepartspros...rying.html#ixzz1CWE7i7Yyhttp://forum.appliancepartspros.comTry diagnostics to see if anything comes up. The unit uses a thermistor to sense the temperature so I would check it with a meter. Could be you are running off the high limit and may also have a grounded element. I would do the following first just to be 100% sure you do not still have a venting problem. Undo the dryer from the exhaust Run a load If the load dries correctly then you have a vent problem. Clean/check the vent system. Make sure the outside louvers open fully. If you do not want lint in the house. Take a pair of pantyhose, put one leg into the other and attach this to the dryer exhaust. Leave enough room behind the dryer so it can blow out like a windsock. Run a load. Both the above will allow you to check the air flow and temp. |
