Kenmore Dryer Repair – Norton, OH (110.97729700)

A Kenmore dryer in Norton, OH stopped producing heat, leaving a local family with wet clothes and no way to dry them. Our technician diagnosed multiple failed components in the heating system and restored full function with targeted part replacements.

The Problem

The customer reported their Kenmore dryer had no heat. The unit would run through cycles normally but clothes came out damp and cold, indicating a complete failure of the heating system.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed multiple component failures in the heating circuit. The thermal fuse had blown, the thermistor was reading incorrectly, and both gas valve coil packs had failed. This combination of failures completely disabled the dryer’s ability to generate heat.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3392519 thermal fuse, WP8577274 thermistor, 279834 gas valve coil packs, W10120998 lint screen
• Work performed: Replaced the thermal fuse, thermistor, coil packs and shipped them a lint screen
• Result: Dryer restored to full heating operation with proper temperature control

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110 series dryer is a solid, repairable unit built on the reliable Whirlpool platform. While multiple heating components failed simultaneously, these are common wear items that are cost-effective to replace. The repair extends the dryer’s life significantly compared to replacement costs.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint screen after every load to prevent thermal fuse failures from restricted airflow
• Check and clean the exhaust vent annually — blocked vents cause overheating that damages thermistors
• Avoid overloading the dryer, which strains gas valve components and heating elements
