A Kenmore dryer in Carrollton, OH wasn’t turning its drum at all. The customer reported the belt broke and suspected the heat wasn’t working either, though they hadn’t run it long enough to confirm. We found the belt was indeed broken and replaced it along with supporting components.
The Problem
The customer called because the belt on their dryer broke and the drum wouldn’t turn. They also suspected the heat wasn’t working but didn’t leave it on long enough to find out for certain.
Diagnosis
Our inspection confirmed the belt on the dryer was broken. When a dryer belt breaks, it’s often a sign that other drive components are worn and should be replaced to prevent premature failure of the new belt.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 4392065 — dryer belt kit
- Work performed: Replaced the belt, idler pulley, and support rollers
- Result: Drum now turns properly and dryer operates normally
Is It Worth Repairing?
This Kenmore 110 series dryer is a solid, repairable unit that’s worth fixing when major components like the belt system fail. Belt replacement is a common maintenance repair that can extend the dryer’s life significantly when done with quality parts.
Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to reduce strain on the belt and motor
- Check the exhaust vent annually — blocked vents cause overheating and premature belt wear
- Listen for squealing or thumping sounds that indicate belt or roller problems before they fail completely
