Hot side wall and staus lights stay on

I have a Kenmore Elite HE4 electic dryer. it is approx 4 years old. The vent line is clear.

Lately, the right outside of the unit has gotten hotter than usual and many of the status lights stay on even when the load has finished drying. They do go off when you open the door or press the off button.

It takes several cycles to dry clothers in my Kenmore elite He4 dryer, it feels like hot air is blowing but the clothes are not getting dry any suggestions?

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

Clean your dryer vents, and lint filters. You may need to clean vent from wall to outside. to test this.. unhook vent pipe from wall..and run dryer and see what happens. or you have a defective heat coil

My kenmore elite Smartheat quietpak9 model HE4, keep turn off after 15 to 20 minutes, it does getting hot. Could you please let me know what will be a problem. I bought it used so I am not sure how old is...

might need a clean out keeping heat inside of dryer,or you have abad motor,take the vent line off the back of dryer and run it to see if the block is in the vent line or in the dryer,also take off bottom panel,unplug dryer,take out lint filter and then remove the duct that the filter slides into,if it's blocked clean it out and you should be all set,usually the thermal fuse pops when this happens so that's why i say you could have a bad motor

Our kenmore eliite HE4 gas dryer keeps shutting off after a few minutes of running no mattter what heat setting we put it on. On air dry mode it works. Is this a high heat sensor problem? The unit is 4...

You didn't mention if the dryer is getting hot.


If is getting hot, then shutting off, I agree with you.

If it is NOT getting hot, I would suspect the IGNITER ASSY

Kenmore elite HE 4 IS NOT DRYING AND GIVING BURING SMELL

ensure the lint screen is clean, check your discharge vent hose for blockage or kinks. You may need to move the dryer out from the wall to thoroughly inspect the vent hose. while the vent hose is removed from the dryer, start the dryer momentarily to ensure the is sufficient air flow exiting the unit.

Kenmore elite he4 dryer wont run

Hi! crystal2hd
My he3 dryer does not have a door lock. The door switch turns off the light and allows the dryer to start. Make sure this switch is not damaged. Unplug the dryer before removing the front cover.

Loud noise when dryer is running.

My guess is that the belt is going bad. It could also be a bad bearing...the noise is generally metallic. Also...a bad belt tensioner comes to mind.
