Kenmore Dryer Repair – Canton, OH (796.80272900)

A Kenmore dryer in Canton, OH was working but not heating. We discovered the issue wasn’t with the dryer itself — the breaker switch was bad and needed electrical attention.

The Problem

The customer reported that the dryer is working, but not heating. The unit would run through its cycles normally, but clothes weren’t getting warm or dry.

Diagnosis

We found not correct power to plug and checked wiring throughout the system. After shutting the breaker switch off then on a couple times, the dryer started heating. The breaker switch was bad, causing insufficient power delivery to the heating element.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts recorded
• Work performed: Checked wiring, cycled breaker switch, tested vent system
• Result: Dryer working, vent tested good

We recommended replacing the breaker by an electrician to prevent future heating issues.

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore dryers are generally reliable appliances, and this model 796.80272900 is built to last. Since the issue was electrical rather than with the dryer components themselves, addressing the breaker problem should restore full function for years to come.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to maintain proper airflow and heating efficiency
• Check the exhaust vent annually for blockages that can strain the heating system
• Have electrical connections inspected periodically, especially in older homes where breakers may weaken over time
