Kenmore Dryer Repair – Akron, OH (110.60992990)

A Kenmore dryer on Beauparc Drive in Akron wasn’t producing any heat. Another servicer had replaced the thermostat a month previously, but left a loosened connection which caused the thermostat to overheat and fail again.

The Problem

The customer reported no heat from their Kenmore dryer. This was particularly frustrating since another repair company had already replaced the thermostat just a month before.

Diagnosis

Another servicer had replaced the thermostat a month previously. It was left with a loosened connection which caused the thermostat to overheat and fail again. During inspection, I also found the heat element was on the verge of failure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3387747-ELEMENT, 279816-CUTOFF-TML
• Work performed: I replaced the failed thermostat and the heat element
• Result: Dryer restored to full heating operation with secure connections

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore dryers are solid mid-range appliances that typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. For a model this age, replacing essential heating components like the element and thermostat makes economic sense, especially when the repair is done correctly the first time.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating of thermal components
• Check and clean the exhaust vent annually to maintain proper airflow
• Have electrical connections inspected if you notice inconsistent heating performance
