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

A Kenmore dryer in North Canton wouldn’t start at all — no lights, no heat, completely dead. When we opened it up, we found a blown thermal fuse and a badly warped heating element that had been running too hot for too long.

The Problem

The customer reported their Kenmore model 110.67322600 dryer had stopped working entirely. No response when the start button was pressed, no drum movement, and no interior light. The unit appeared completely without power despite being properly plugged in.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the thermal fuse had blown, which cuts all power to protect the dryer from overheating. The heating element was severely warped from excessive heat buildup, and the exhaust vent was packed with lint restricting airflow. This combination created a perfect storm — poor ventilation caused the element to overheat, which eventually tripped the thermal fuse and killed the dryer completely.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP3392519 thermal fuse, 279838 heating element
• Work performed: Cleared vent blockage, installed new thermal fuse and heating element, tested airflow
• Result: Dryer starts normally, heats properly, and cycles complete without overheating

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110-series is a solid Whirlpool-built unit that typically runs 15+ years with proper maintenance. At this age and with good bones underneath, replacing the thermal protection components makes financial sense. These dryers are built heavy and reliable — much better than most current budget models.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dryers

• Clean the lint screen before every load — the 110-series thermal fuse is particularly sensitive to restricted airflow
• Check your exterior vent hood monthly for lint buildup, especially during fall when outdoor debris can block the opening
• If drying times increase gradually, the vent system needs professional cleaning before thermal components start failing
