Kenmore Dryer Repair (Model 110.67322600) – North Canton, OH

A Kenmore dryer in North Canton wouldn’t start when the homeowner pressed the button. Our diagnosis revealed a blown thermal fuse and warped heating element — classic signs of restricted airflow causing the unit to overheat and shut down for protection.

The Problem

The customer reported their Kenmore model 110.67322600 dryer was completely unresponsive. No lights, no sounds, nothing when they tried to start a cycle. The unit had been working fine until it suddenly stopped mid-cycle the day before.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the thermal fuse had blown, which cuts all power to protect the dryer from overheating. The heating element showed visible warping from excessive heat exposure. The dryer vent was severely clogged with lint buildup, creating back-pressure that caused the heating element to run too hot and trigger the thermal fuse.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3392519 thermal fuse, 279838 heating element
• Work performed: Cleared the clogged vent line and replaced both failed components
• Result: Dryer completed full test cycle with proper heat and timing

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110-series dryer is a solid Whirlpool-built unit that typically runs 15-20 years with proper maintenance. At roughly 10-12 years old based on the model number, this repair makes financial sense. The thermal fuse and heating element failure is usually a one-time issue once the underlying airflow problem is addressed.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint screen after every load — even small amounts reduce efficiency
• Have the external vent professionally cleaned annually to prevent thermal fuse failures
• Check the drum seals on Kenmore 110-series models for wear after 8-10 years of use
