Kenmore Dryer Repair (Model 110.60922990) – Louisville, OH

A Kenmore dryer in Louisville stopped heating, leaving a family without their essential laundry appliance. Our diagnostic revealed multiple failed components in the heating system — the heating element had burned out and the thermostats were no longer regulating temperature properly.

The Problem

The customer reported their Kenmore dryer model 110.60922990 was running through cycles but clothes came out cold and damp. The drum was spinning and the motor ran normally, but no heat was being generated during any cycle setting.

Diagnosis

Testing the heating circuit revealed a failed heating element assembly that had developed an open circuit. The thermal cutoff and operating thermostats were also malfunctioning, likely from the stress of the failing element. Additionally, we found worn drum supports, a stretched belt, and a worn idler pulley that needed replacement to prevent future breakdowns.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3387747 heating element, 279769 thermal cutoff, 661570V drive belt, WPW10314173 drum support rollers, 279640 idler pulley assembly
• Work performed: Complete heating system rebuild with drum assembly refresh
• Result: Dryer now produces proper heat on all settings and operates quietly

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110 series dryer is a solid Whirlpool-built unit that typically runs 15-20 years with proper maintenance. At around 12-15 years old, this repair makes good financial sense since these components should last another 8-10 years. The heavy-duty construction and proven reliability of this model series make it worth fixing.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean lint from the exhaust vent annually — Kenmore units are sensitive to restricted airflow which causes heating elements to overheat
• Replace the drum light bulb with the correct 10-watt appliance bulb to prevent overheating the control panel
• Check door seals monthly for lint buildup that can cause poor drying and extended cycle times
