Question about Kenmore 94072 Gas Dryer

1 Answer

Kenmore Dryer I have a Kenmore dryer model #41790042990, purchased in 2003 at Sears. I have checked al the ducts, they are all clean. I also changed all 4 thermostats with Sears parts. What I noticed is that the machine starts the heat when cold. Then doesn't dry any more. I have to open the door, close it, start it agan, turn the heat button to no heat and turn back to high again. All of this when machine is cold again. Is the gas valve the problem? I hear a tac when I flip the button to no heat and hear again when flip back to heat. Please help me! Thanks, Marco Rigo

Marco, looks like you covered a venting problem and with the fact that you changed all the thermostats, leads me to believe that your primary and boosting coils are not functioning as they should. This are located on the gas valve. A sure way to tell is by observation. The ignitor will glow, you will hear a click and the flame should start. If it glows, clicks and does not start you can be assured it's probably your coils. Pretty inexpensive to repair. The part numbers are 5303307292 for the secondary coil and 5303307292 for your booster. Make sure to change both.

Recently purchased a kenmore electric dryer. My close are not drying need 2 or 3 cycles. We cleaned the duct to make sure no lint build up but I am using my previous duct could this be my problem
Make sure venting is clear in hose inside and outside of house. Also be sure there are no kinks in venting inside house behind dryer as you push dryer up against wall. I would definitely change out inside vent with new.

I have a Kenmore 800 model no. 110.69822801 dryer that stopped during a drying cycle. It would not start. I found helpful tips from your site and decided the door switch was faulty. I bought a new switch...
Check the thermal fuse, check the belt switch. If these are OK, check the timer. The timer troubleshooting guide may be located within the control panel. If the dryer still doesn't turn on, check motor winding continuity, and finally control board. Perform these checks with dryer unplugged. Most likely causes: Thermal fuse or timer. If thermal fuse is problem, clean dryer duct after fuse replacement.

Where to find fuses. My dryer is not heating up.
Does your dryer have power? If yes, then check (1) the flow of air outside the house from your dryer tube and (2) your circuit breaker panel for each circuit in the house (I've not seen fuses/breakers built into dryers -- though that could change). Then check (3) your heating element, (4) thermostat, (5) high-temp thermal cutoff switch, and (6) for debris in the air flow path to / from from the centrifugal fan.

I have an old Model #11087682810 - SEARS Gas dryer. The dryer works and is warm for a little bit then turns completely cold on any heat setting. Is this maybe a coil or something else?

Hi,

If your dryer is not drying like it once did or if you just have not taken the time to give yourself a clean dryer in a long time then you need to do that. At least once a year the dryer cleaning should take place. Lint build up in the dryer duct is one of the main causes for your dryer to fail.

Sears Kenmore elite quietheat front loading dryer not drying. Moisture builds up on the window inside.
It normally takes about 45 minutes for a dryer to dry a full load. If your dryer is taking more than an hour, check these.

Vent
Heating element
Internal ductwork
Cycling thermostat
Vent Frequently there's an obstruction in the vent duct from the dryer to the outside of the house. For the dryer to heat properly, the duct must be clean and clear of lint or any other substance.

Heating element Your dryer's heating element may be partially burned out. If it is, your dryer still heats, but at such a low temperature that it takes three or four times as long to dry the clothes. If the element is partially burned out, replace it.

Internal ductwork Your dryer has some internal ductwork. If it gets clogged, your dryer can't dry properly. In most dryers, to get to the internal ductwork to clear the clog, you have to substantially disassemble the dryer. A quick way to check for internal clogs is to remove the lint filter and use a flashlight to inspect the inside of the duct. If it looks clogged and you can't clear it using your vacuum, contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

Cycling thermostat Although this isn't a common problem, one of the thermostats that controls the temperature in your dryer may break and cause the dryer to heat poorly. If so, you need to replace it. The thermostat is usually a small, round, black device mounted to an oblong steel plate. The plate is mounted to the internal ductwork with two screws.

No heat
Check the resistance of the heating element (8 to 14 ohms). If ok, then check continuity of the overload devices attached to the heat element duct. If either one or both are open then replace ($14 for both). Dryer should heat.

If heat element is faulty, the part can be purchased at Sears/Kenmore Parts Center and swapped out ($45.00).

Provide your dryer model number and ask for the needed parts.

Unplug your dryer first before attempting any service work. Safety first and always!
