Kenmore Dryer Repair – Louisville, OH

A Kenmore dryer in Louisville was clicking but wouldn’t operate. Our diagnosis revealed multiple failed components that needed replacement to restore proper function.

The Problem

The customer reported their Kenmore dryer clicks but won’t operate. The unit was making clicking sounds but failing to start the drying cycle.

Diagnosis

Our inspection found multiple component failures affecting the dryer’s operation. The blower and housing assembly had failed, along with the gas valve coil packs and exhaust thermistor. We also tested the dryer vent and found it was significantly obstructed, which can contribute to component stress and premature failure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 131775600 blower assembly, 134587700 thermistor, 279834 valve coil
• Work performed: Replaced the blower and housing, gas valve coil packs and exhaust thermistor
• Result: Dryer restored to proper operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore dryers are generally reliable appliances that respond well to repair when multiple components fail simultaneously like this. While replacing several parts at once represents a significant repair, it addresses the root causes and should provide years of continued service. The obstructed vent likely contributed to the failures, so addressing that issue prevents future problems.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to maintain proper airflow
• Have your dryer vent professionally cleaned annually to prevent obstruction-related component failures
• Check the exhaust hood outside your home regularly to ensure it opens freely when the dryer runs
