If your Kenmore stackable washer dryer model 417.12510 is not producing heat, there may be a problem with the heating element or with the control system of the dryer. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
Check the dryer's manual for any specific troubleshooting steps or error codes that may be relevant to the issue you are experiencing.
Make sure that the dryer's lint filter is clean and unobstructed. A clogged lint filter can cause problems with the heating element.
Check the heating element for any visible signs of damage or wear. If the element is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
If the heating element appears to be in good condition, there may be a problem with the control system of the dryer. In this case, it will likely be necessary to have a qualified technician inspect the machine to diagnose the problem and recommend the necessary repairs.
I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can assist with.
Possible that the heating element has burnt out, or that the thermostat that controls the element is defective. If you have a low or warm setting try that also as it may use a different element? Good luck.
The heating element is BEHIND the dryer drum. You need to remove the drum in order to access it. Keep in mind, if you have a heat related problem, it may or may not be the heating element. It could also be the thermal cut-out (TCO) which is mounted along with the heating element. Again, you will need to remove the drum to get to it. The TCO acts as a fuse and is designed to blow to protect the heating element if it overheats. Check the TCO first to make sure it is not blown. If you need further assistance, please post back with your MODEL NUMBER. I hope this helps you.
Your model which we call the 417, is not usually easy to work on. The heating element is located behind the dryer drum. The drum has to be removed to change the element. There is a lot involved but given the cost of a stack unit the element and labor may be worth it.
