Kenmore Dryer Service for Houses, Condos and Rentals
Kenmore has no connection to us, and we aren't one of its authorized repair centers. If your dryer is still under Kenmore's factory warranty, start with Kenmore. After that coverage ends, send us the model number and what it's doing when you book; that lets us research parts before the visit.
How a Dryer Repair Visit Works
Describe the Problem
Tell us whether it spins without heat, takes two cycles, or stops early, and whether it's gas or electric.
Diagnosis at Home
We measure airflow through the vent, test the heat circuit and safety fuses, and check belt and rollers.
Quote Before Work
You hear the diagnosis and the price, and decide. If the repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you.
Repair and Test
We install the part matched to your model, then run it to make sure the problem is gone.
Inside a Kenmore dryer
Most 110-prefix Kenmore dryers are Whirlpool's 29-inch design wearing a Kenmore console. Heat is controlled by a one-time thermal fuse plus a high-limit thermostat and a cycling thermostat, and the drum turns on two rear rollers and a front glide, pulled by a belt that an idler keeps taut. Electric models heat with a coil in a housing at the back; gas models light a glow bar, then two coils open the gas valve. Dryers with a 796 prefix are LG's own design, with different sensors and boards. Whatever the builder, most no-heat calls start with the exhaust. A dryer sitting in a hot garage, or pushing air through a long attic run to a roof cap, loses airflow to lint, overheats and pops its fuse.
Common Kenmore dryer failures
- Thermal fuse blown by a choked vent
- Heating element open
- Gas valve coils too weak to open
- Drum rollers or idler pulley squealing

Kenmore Dryer Repair FAQ
A few plain answers before you book. Details about your home or the appliance can go in the form's notes field.
Didn't see your question?
Tell us the brand, model number and the symptom. A few things can be ruled out from a description; most faults need testing on site.
First the exhaust, then the thermal fuse, because a restricted vent is what usually blows it. On electric dryers the element and thermostats come next; on gas dryers, the igniter and valve coils.
On Whirlpool-built gas models, an igniter that glows but never lights the burner almost always means the gas valve coils have weakened. The coils are changed as a pair. Gas is shut off before any work, and every disturbed joint is leak-tested afterward.
