A Kenmore dryer at a home in Carrollton, OH wasn’t spinning and wouldn’t shut off on the timed dry cycle. Our diagnostic revealed worn drum support components that needed immediate replacement to restore proper operation.
The Problem
The customer reported their dryer not spinning and that it won’t shut off on time dry. These symptoms pointed to mechanical issues with the drum drive system that were preventing normal operation.
Diagnosis
Inspection of the Kenmore 110.86873100 revealed worn belt, idler pulley, and support rollers. When these components fail, the drum cannot maintain proper rotation and the cycle timing becomes erratic, explaining both the spinning issue and the failure to shut off properly.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 4392065-REPAIR-DYR — belt, idler pulley, and support rollers
- Work performed: Replaced the belt, idler pulley, and support rollers
- Result: Dryer now spins properly and completes timed dry cycles as designed
Is It Worth Repairing?
Kenmore dryers, particularly older models like this 110 series, are generally worth repairing when the issue involves standard wear components. Belt and roller replacements are routine maintenance items that can extend the life of these reliable units significantly. The repair cost is typically much less than replacement.
Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to reduce strain on the belt and motor
- Check drum support rollers annually for wear — they should roll smoothly without wobbling
- Listen for squealing sounds during operation, which often indicates belt or pulley wear before complete failure
