    Default Kenmore Model 110.86692810

    I have an older model (Lady Kenmore Electric Dryer Model 110.86692810) that was working fine until recently. The problem I'm having is that it will run its cycle, but not dry the load. I tried running the load again and would periodically opened the door to check if the element would heat up. I noticed the element worked intermittently, meaning it would heat up for a short period of time and then would be off for a longer period then heat back up and so forth. So basically the element won't stay on long enough to heat up the clothes. I didn't know if I should look at the element or the sensors or the thermostat. Any suggestions on where to begin? I also made sure it was venting properly.


    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Ok, then that tells me the heater is prematurely turning off on the hi-limit thermostat. Thats usually always caused a vent restriction.

    Pull your dryer away from the wall, then take off the exhaust hose, then run a load with no exhaust hose on at all, just let the warm air flow fully into your laundry or garage. If it drys perfectly, then we know its somewhere in your venting to the outside of your house.

    I checked the air flow and everything seemed fine, no clogs, but went ahead and changed the venting duct that leads to the outside and now everything seems fine. It didn't look like it, but the duct must have been kinked in some way. I got lucky and spent under $10 (including the the price for the forum .) Thanks for the advise, your site rocks.
