Kenmore Dryer Repair – Carrollton, OH (110.66912692)

A Kenmore dryer at a home on Scerota Avenue SW in Carrollton wasn’t heating properly. The customer reported it was running but nothing was drying. Our diagnosis revealed failed heating components that needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer called because their dryer was running but nothing was drying. The unit would tumble and complete cycles, but clothes came out just as wet as when they went in.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the heating element had burned out completely. The thermal cutoff was also tripped, indicating the system had overheated at some point. Both components needed replacement to restore proper heating function.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3387747 heating element, 279769 thermal cutoff
• Work performed: Replaced the heat element and thermostat
• Result: Dryer now heats properly and dries clothes completely

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore dryers are generally reliable appliances that respond well to heating element repairs. This model, being a Whirlpool-manufactured unit, typically has good parts availability and reasonable repair costs. For most homeowners, replacing heating components is much more economical than buying a new dryer.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating and extend heating element life
• Check and clean the exhaust vent annually — restricted airflow causes thermal cutoffs to trip
• Avoid overloading the drum, which forces the heating system to work harder
