Kenmore Dryer Repair – North Canton, OH (110.85862401)

A Kenmore dryer at a North Canton home wasn’t heating despite normal spinning and airflow. The customer had tried to replace the thermal fuse but couldn’t locate it. Our diagnosis revealed the heat element had failed and needed replacement.

The Problem

The dryer won’t heat. It spins and has airflow. The customer tried to replace the thermal fuse, but couldn’t find it.

Diagnosis

The heat element had failed. This is a common issue in Kenmore dryers where the heating coil burns out over time, preventing the unit from producing heat while all other functions continue normally.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3387747 — heat element assembly
• Work performed: Installed a new heat element assembly
• Result: Dryer now heats properly and functions normally

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore dryers are reliable workhorses that typically last 10-15 years with proper care. A heat element replacement on these units is usually cost-effective, especially on models that are otherwise functioning well. The 110 series Kenmore dryers are built with serviceable parts that make repairs like this straightforward and worthwhile.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent heat element strain and improve efficiency
• Check and clean the exhaust vent annually to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating
• Avoid overloading the drum, which forces the heating element to work harder than designed
