-Disclaimer
This video is for entertainment purposes only. I am not a licensed appliance repair technician however, I do my own work This video describes how I diagnosed and repaired my dryer after it stopped heating.
-All failed electrical components should be replaced even after a successful reset (fuses, heating elements, motors, etc.).

This is a thirteen-year-old Kenmore Electric Dryer. Model No. 110.66922501 - Type DDOT-ELE-2406028-CV54. This is a Heavy Duty - King Size Capacity dryer. The focus of this video is to demonstrate how to troubleshoot, diagnose and repair an electric dryer that has quit heating. Even though this is a Kenmore product, the brand is owned by KCD IP LLC, a special purpose entity created by Sears Holdings. Also, as of 2017, Kenmore products are produced by manufacturers such as Whirlpool, LG, Electrolux, Panasonic, Cleva North America, and Daewoo Electronics.
The main symptom of this malfunction that became apparent:
-The dryer continued to run as usual however, the clothes were coming out wet and cold.

The following products were used in the making of this video:
Replacement Parts:
*1. Thermal cut-off kit (thermal cut-off fuse kit) This kit includes one high limit thermostat with a limit of 250 degrees Fahrenheit, and one thermal cut-off fuse with a limit of 360 degrees Fahrenheit. The thermostat and fuse help prevent the dryer from overheating.
Part #EAP334278 or #279769 CUTOFF-TML.
2. Thermostat, internal-bias (internal bias operating thermostat) The cycling thermostat with internal bias heater will continually cycle the heating element off and on to maintain a constant inner temperature in the dryer. This cycling thermostat has a limit of 155 degrees Fahrenheit and a differential of 25 degrees. Meaning that the heating element will cut out at 155 degrees and cycle back on once the internal temperature drops by 25 degrees.
Part #EAP11741405
3. Thermal fuse (non-resettable) thermal fuse. This was the elongated white fuse adjacent to the thermostat with the two blue wires.
Part #EAP11741460
4. Heating Element - 240v 5200w
Part # EAP11741416

I just diagnosed that the thermal cutoff was bad on my daughter's vintage Kenmore from your video. And on top of that I smacked it on my desk a couple times and boom! continuity was back. I literally fixed her dryer for $0 Nada. Awesome video and its still totally relevant.

My Elite HE3 stopped heating. I found the full diagram and parts numbers online and replaced everything since I had the unit open. Thermistor and fuse on the blower housing. Heat element, cutoff and sensor on heater housing. Each was available separately but I bought the kit. Saved hundreds of dollars.

SUCESS!!!! Replaced both the thermal cutoff (2nd time) and the associated 250 Degree Thermostat this time. The thermostat was the original culprit and that's why the thermal cutoff failed a second time. Working great now. That is why they sell them as a pair. Thank you WK for an awesome and concise DIY video. You ROCK!

I just ordered a thermal fuse as I found that mine was bad and dryer not heating, then I watched your video and was amazed how you walked us thru the process of checking what the problem. The best part was at the end when you showed how to reset the fuse. Once I did what you demonstrated in the video I reinstalled it in the dryer and it started heating. My wife was not happy, she thought she was getting a new dryer. BTW, the Kenmore dryer is 29 years old and outside of the door switch this is the only thing that went wrong on this dryer. Thank You A Bunch!

Thank You! This dryer is exactly like my mom's dryer which stopped heating, and so she sent me the model number. I bought a kit with both thermal cut-off kit (like you showed), dryer thermal fuse, thermostat cycling switch for $14. I tested the parts disconnected from wiring and only needed to change the thermal fuse you showed because it had no continuity. It only took me 15 minutes, and the dryer works! I cleaned up everything and it looks like the outside flap on the exhaust outlet outside the house caused the backup and excess heat. I reset the old one and saved it with the other parts. Saved us lots of money and time!

I'll keep these until they are DEAD and no longer resurrectable!

These Kenmore appliances are really amazing machines. This Kenmore washer and dryer have chugged through well-over a decade of my wife and I doing foster care (fostering over 27+ kids and adopted 5 plus two of our own biological children). The amount of clothes and blankets and uniforms and throw rugs that have been washed over the years are mind boggling. The workmanship and quality are truly amazing and as of today, these machines show no signs of failing. All the Best and hope your machines continue to Chooch along for many more years.

It was very helpful to see all of the parts that affect dryer's heating and how to test. I had watched other videos and all said first change thermal cut off fuse. Did that and still no heat. Then found your video and after testing all heat related parts for continuity, found it was the heating element. Everything else was OK but ordered full kit for $32.99 on Amazon. Replaced and are now back in business. Thank you.....saved us lots of money, too.

Regarding thermostat, testing at room temperature can give you continuity and you will think the part is fine. You also need to check to make sure it turns off at like 175 degrees too. So you need to put on hot plate at 175 and make sure it turns off and continuity stops. Mine did not turn off and was probably the cause of the thermal fuse going bad. It is always a good idea to change the thermostat at the same time you change a thermal fuse otherwise you will just keep blowing thermal fuses if the thermostat is bad.

Glen here again... I tried your magic trick with the smack-reset, with nothing to lose, and potentially scoring points for effort with my tenants. The reset worked, as evidenced by my Fluke multimeter. However, the fix did not last until I reassembled the unit. Dang. I would never consider the "reset" trick as a permanent fix, for lack of trust in the long run, and I hate rework more than work. But absolutely, worth the try, especially since buying parts these days for the individual is a major challenge. I appreciate so much what you are doing here : thank you so much. Glen Moore Seattle

In video min 14:08 looks like your heating element wire is ground shorted to heating element case . That will cause heating element to be glowing all times while dryer is running. Hence fuses blow . Please test continuity between heating element wire and heating element case.

@SmokinwithKasket 3 жыл бұрын

Hello. I looked and couldn't see what you were seeing. I can tell you that I tested the leads and the case for a short and it was negative. The coil did cycle during this test. I'm thinking it was an angle that made it appear the element wire was making contact but I had no indications that was occurring. thanks for watching. I do appreciate your input. Stay safe!!!

Hi Mr Kasper. Thanks a million for the hints, especially with resetting the switch, saved me a few dollars! Got the dryer, a Kenmore 110.60802990 (the heater and thermostats in the back but in similar order to your machine). Also double checked and cleaned it for lint that was missed before. Thanks again!!!

This is the ONLY video or tutorial Online I could find with a dryer identical to mine. Sure enough, the thermal fuse was not passing current. It continued to blow after resetting and replacing, so I looked at the heat element to see if it was grounding out. It looked okay. Then I started blowing lint out of the vent system with an air hose, working my way back to the exterior vent hose in the side of the house. A bucket of trash and one mouse nest later, I am back in business. If the fuse continues to fail (not sure that is the right word, since it is doing it's job) at least I can keep resetting until the core problem is identified, THANKS TO YOU!!!

Loved your video. I thought I had a bad element. it turned out that I had the same issue as you. I didn’t have the part, so I did what you did at the end of the video and hit it a few times on the floor and sure enough, the multimeter beeped when I tested it. Thank you very much. I had to pull the entire housing out so I could test everything easier. That was pretty easy, though. I just turned it to the left and it came right out. 2 thumbs up!👍👍

I just want to thank you so very much for making this video! I was told my heating element went out and it would be costly to buy the part and have a repair man to install it.. Luckily, your video was next after the heating element one and I immediately testing the parts you said. Turns out it was the thermal cut off and I did buy the set even though it was the back one that was faulty. I even tried to reset it as you said, but no luck. The parts cost the same as in your video and I repaired it myself! My only complaint is; why the hell are the parts on the left side when most people are right handed?!? So, I did struggle putting the bolts back on. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

My issue exactly! And love that have the same dryer set up ! Is a 20 year old dryer so not all exact (the blower thermostat only has two connections , not four). Got an E1 (if I recall) code a couple weeks ago so ordered and replaced the low temp thermostat (and cleaned the dryer and exhaust while at it), all was well, then a couple weeks later it stopped heating. Tested all w my meter (which should have done first time lol) and the thermal fuse was the issue. Have done all this a couple times over the life of the dryer (inc element), so have gotten pretty comfortable doing it! Still, your video was SO helpful in describing what everything does and how to make sure test properly (don’t use my multimeter for anything else so have to remember how to use it each time! Hence why didn’t test two weeks ago lol). Gonna see if can reset the fuse as per your tip, while ordering replacement. Thx again!!
