I have a kenmore elite dryer that is only 4 yrs old. It stops about 5 minutes into the cycle and puts up 2 codes. CLL and Sru what do these codes mean and can I continue using the dryer ?

The serial number is just a numerical reference of when it was made. The Model number is the import part.

Kenmore dryer will run for approximately five minutes. It then stops and throws a CLL SRU error code. I have researched this to mean "Call for Service". I have seen others potential causes that range from shorted heating element, to dirty lint screen/venting.

I would unplug the machine for about half hour this should wipe the fault codes from the machine.

please remember to provide a model number in order to help.

Clean the lint filter and shut down the machine for 5 minutes. Restart and see if the codes clear. If no problem, no worries, just ignore the codes.

are u saying it shuts down or just stops heating? if it shuts down u may have bad motor windings and or brushes and motor is burning out if its stops heating that is usually due to bad moister sensor, cycling thermostat ( which would not usually shut appliance off though), short in heating element, defective hi limit thermostat etc and of course u already said u cleaned lint and ducts? including the blower? if its blocked with lint u have a shut off issue

Most likely a broken wire in the dual heating element. Pull the cover off the machine, with the power cord unplugged and put a voltmeter on Ohms checking for continuity of the elements. Also check the overheat fuse(s) for continuity.

Check for clogged or restrictions in the exhaust vent. I had a bees nest once on the outside which restricted the door on the vent from fully opening, which lead to an overheat condition.

It might be that is uneven

Re: Kenmore Elite 417; error CLL SRV We have well water and I think my error message and locked door were because the machine was trying to plump water and not getting any. I heard the error beeping and sent to check it out. There was another noise that didn't stop even after unplugging the washer, although the beeping did, which finally stopped after I turned off the water valves. Press and Hold the power button down to unlock the door and retry. If you still have trouble, call for service.

if I am understanding the problem correctly then this website should work, if I am misunderstanding then the second one might help.
