Kenmore Dryer Repair – Hartville, OH (110.66922501)

A Kenmore dryer in Hartville wouldn’t start — just hummed when the customer pressed the button. We found the blower was jammed, preventing the motor from turning over properly.

The Problem

The customer reported their dryer motor won’t start, just hums. This is a classic symptom of mechanical resistance somewhere in the drive system that’s preventing normal startup.

Diagnosis

We opened the dryer and found the blower was jammed. When the blower can’t turn freely, it creates enough resistance to prevent the motor from starting, though it will still attempt to run and create that humming sound.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None required
• Work performed: Freed the jammed blower
• Result: The dryer is spinning fine

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110 series dryer is a solid, repairable unit that can run for many more years with proper maintenance. Since this repair required no parts and the underlying motor and drive components are sound, it’s definitely worth keeping this machine running.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent buildup that can jam blower components
• Check the exhaust vent outside your home monthly — blocked vents create back pressure
• Vacuum around the blower housing annually to remove lint that bypasses the filter
