Kenmore Dryer Repair – North Canton, OH (110.79422801)

A Kenmore dryer at a North Canton home was running but wouldn’t heat. The high limit thermal fuse had failed, cutting power to the heating system entirely.

The Problem

The customer reported that their dryer runs but doesn’t heat. The unit would tumble clothes normally through complete cycles, but everything came out cold and damp.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the high limit thermal fuse had failed. This safety component opens when the dryer overheats, cutting power to the gas valve coils to prevent dangerous operation. Once blown, it must be replaced to restore heating function.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3392519 thermal fuse, 279834 gas valve coil packs
• Work performed: Replaced the failed thermal fuse and gas valve coil packs
• Result: Dryer is heating and cycling normally

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110 series dryer is a solid Whirlpool-built unit known for reliable performance. Thermal fuse failures are common maintenance items, and replacing them along with the gas valve coils typically provides years of continued service. These repairs are much more cost-effective than replacement for most households.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Gas Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating that kills thermal fuses
• Check the exterior vent annually for lint buildup and proper airflow
• Have the internal ductwork cleaned every 2-3 years to maintain proper ventilation
