Kenmore (Sears) dryers are usually manufactured by Whirlpool. The rear of the drum rides on 2 lower rubber rollers that go bad with age. Those rollers may need replaced. There is also a felt seal strip attached to the rear of the drum that rides the back wall of the dryer that may need replaced. Can only tell for sure by disassembling the dryer and checking.
bypass door switch , if that doesnt work and you have replaced start switch already. then i would unplug unit remove back panel and look for the blower housing , on the blower wheel housing or to the right should be a white thermostat with 2 wires going to it.round shaped and it mounts to the blower housing by pass it and it should work however dont leave it bypassed. hope this helps
good for you a fixya girl. usually, the idler pulley fails. and is a gravy cheap fix. these are great dryer and worth throwing a few bucks at. spin all the pullies and a new belt is a good idea,
