Kenmore dryer heating problem
Hi. I have an older model Kenmore dryer. I think it's about ten years
old. Recently, it stopped drying/heating, but it does continue to tumble. I've looked at a few appliance repair websites, and after reading the trouble-shooting guides, I believe the problem is caused by either a burned out heating element or thermal fuse. I would like to replace the broken part, but the owner's manual was not left in the house I live in, and I'm unable to find an exact drawing of this model on the Internet. I've never repaired a dryer before, so I really need a good diagram so I can find out exactly where the heating element and thermal fuse are in this particular model. I did remove the "kick plate" below the dryer door, and I couldn't find anything that looked like the heating element or thermal fuse. I also removed a small portion of the back panel which revealed the origin of the plug. I have the model number so I can easily obtain the parts. I just don't know where to find the broken ones inside the dryer. Can anyone help me? |
