Kenmore Dryer Repair – Canton, OH (110.64962300)

We serviced a Kenmore dryer in Canton, OH that was operating but producing no heat. After testing the heating circuit, we found both the heating element and thermal fuse had failed and needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported their dryer operates but no heat. The unit would run through its cycles normally, but clothes came out still damp and cold.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed failures in the heating circuit. Both the heating element and thermal fuse were no longer functional, which completely prevented heat generation during the drying cycle.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3392519 — thermal fuse, WP3387747 — heating element
• Work performed: After replacing the heat element, I also installed a new thermal fuse at the same time
• Result: The dryer works great

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore dryers from this era are generally solid units built by Whirlpool. Heating element and thermal fuse replacements are common maintenance repairs that can extend the life of these machines significantly. For a dryer that’s otherwise functioning well mechanically, this repair makes good economic sense.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent thermal fuse failures from restricted airflow
• Check and clean the external dryer vent annually — blocked vents cause heating elements to overheat
• Avoid overloading the drum, which forces the heating system to work harder than designed
