Kenmore Dryer Repair – Louisville, OH (110.68532700)

A Kenmore dryer on Opal Street in Louisville wouldn’t run on any settings. The customer reported sparks coming from under the control panel area. What we found was a half-tripped breaker and multiple failed components that needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer called because their dryer won’t run on any settings. They also mentioned that sparks came from under control panel area, which indicated electrical issues beyond just a simple malfunction.

Diagnosis

We found the breaker was half tripped, which explained why the unit had no power. After installing a new timer, we discovered the dryer still wasn’t heating properly, pointing to additional failed heating components that needed attention.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP8299784 timer, 279816 cutoff/thermal fuse, 279838 heating element
• Work performed: Installed new timer, replaced element and thermostat/fuse
• Result: All is working — dryer now runs and heats properly on all settings

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110 series dryer is a solid, long-lasting model that’s worth repairing when multiple components fail. These units are built to handle decades of use, and replacing the timer and heating components typically gives you many more years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load — Kenmore dryers are particularly sensitive to restricted airflow
• Check the exhaust vent annually for lint buildup that can cause overheating and component failure
• Don’t overload the drum — Kenmore 110 series work best with properly sized loads
