Kenmore Dryer Repair – North Canton, OH (110.72812101)

A Kenmore gas dryer at a North Canton home wasn’t heating properly, leaving clothes damp after full cycles. Our diagnosis revealed failed gas valve coil packs — a common failure point that prevents the burner from igniting reliably.

The Problem

The customer reported their gas dryer was not heating properly. Clothes were coming out damp even after extended drying cycles, indicating the burner wasn’t staying lit consistently.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the gas valve coil packs had failed. These electromagnetic coils control the gas valve operation — when they fail, the valve can’t open properly to allow gas flow to the burner assembly. Without reliable gas flow, the dryer runs but produces no heat.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 279834 — gas valve coil packs
• Work performed: Replaced the gas valve coil packs
• Result: Dryer now heats properly and cycles normally

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore dryers are solid, reliable appliances that typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Gas valve coil pack replacement is a straightforward repair that restores full functionality. For most Kenmore gas dryers under 12 years old, this repair makes good economic sense compared to replacement costs.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Gas Dryers

• Clean the lint filter before every load — lint buildup restricts airflow and forces longer drying cycles
• Check and clean the exterior vent annually to prevent lint accumulation that can cause overheating
• Inspect the gas connection annually for any signs of corrosion or loose fittings
