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 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!
Hi Chuck, I’m glad my video was helpful and you were able to repair your dryer. That dryer is 29 years old and I’ll tell you they don’t make them like they used to anymore. Try to keep that thing running as long as you can. Thank you for watching and hopefully subscribing and you and your family have a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Stay safe!
I have a 22 year old dryer Kenmore Series 90. Still ran but no heat.. Your video is excellent....you clearly show what you are doing every step of the way. 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. Don't need a dryer with wifi.....last time I checked, my phone lacked the ability to remove clothes from washer and place in dryer....!!
Great to hear I was able to help. Thank you for watching and commenting, and hopefully subscribing. Have a great day!
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I was able to replace my heating element (and door switch); I'm reasonably handy with fixing appliances, but this made the task much easier and faster.
Knowing how to troubleshoot the other switches and thermostat was useful in narrowing down what was wrong.
That’s great news. Thank you for watching. Commenting and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe.
THANK YOU! I watch lots of DIY videos on YT and your video nailed it for me. My wife told me that the dryer wasn't working. Did my YT due diligence and found your video. About 90 minutes later the dryer was running again. It took me longer to find my tools than to do what you recommended. THANK YOU!
Hey there, Steve, I am so glad to hear that my video was helpful for you. Thank you for sharing and hopefully subscribing. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and stay safe!
Hey thank you! You helped me fix my dryer. I'm 55, a female and very handy and now I know something new!
Edit...the exact same one was the bad one, I followed your instructions on resetting it and it worked! Will help till the part arrives.
That’s great!!! I’m so glad this video was helpful. You saved $$$ and that’s always a good thing!!! Thank you for watching and subscribing. Stay safe.
I really liked your video. It didn't leave anything out. The other guy removed the housing of the heating element.
Thank you for watering and sharing. Stay safe.
AMAZING tip at the end to reset the thermal fuse! If I can do that, I can have a temporary fix while I wait for my part to arrive, and my tenant will be extremely grateful! Thank you so much for helping to keep our rents affordable. Glen Moore Seattle WA
Thank you for watching commenting and supporting. I’m glad you found this video helpful. Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks for sharing! I had the same issue as you did. I never used a multimeter before and I purchased the $5 one from Harbor Frieht tools. I'm glad you showed what else to check for future references. The reset method worked for me but I'm going to buy another cut off switch. UA-cam is the best!!!
You’re my hero, thank you for sharing your talents William!
Oh my gosh. Thank you for that kind comment. Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe and have a Happy New Year!!!
Probably the best ho to video I've ever seen on UA-cam. This is your calling just fix stuff
You rock!! Thank you for the awesome comment my friend. I appreciate you.
Totally reset my thermal fuse and it worked again. Your video was easy and to the point with great camera angles. Anyone with no experience can try it with your walkthrough. Not the same model Kenmore however the parts you showed were easy to find and diagnose. Thanks again.
Awesome to hear! Sometimes I wonder if my videos are clear and easy to follow. I don’t always feel like I explain things clearly. Thank you for the kind comment. I’m Glad this video was helpful. Stay safe.
Great video especially the bonus at the end on how to reset the thermostat thank you for your help bro
What a great video! I've done this before, but it's been about 15 years, and your tutorial is spot on. Thank you for taking the time to record and post it -- I know it took effort, much appreciated.
BTW, we bought our Kenmore washer and dryer in 1993 and they are both still working, albeit with a few do-it-yourself repairs over the past 26 years. I'll keep these until they are DEAD and no longer resurrectable!
Thank you sir!!! Appreciate your kind words. Its very true - was a lot of effort and extra work to video and post but I enjoy offering help to others as others have helped me over the years. 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.
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!👍👍
Great to hear the video was helpful. Thank you for watching.
You can safely reset that non-resettable fuse by slamming it on the floor. You think I am joking...
Just did the slamming on the floor thing an hour ago lol
Could not see which thermostat wires you tested.
Thanks for the well laid out information. One comment I received from a tech when I had to have my timer replaced: he said to NEVER turn it counter-clockwise, because that's what tears them up. Always turn them clockwise.
Thank you for your support and comment. Great tip by the way. Stay safe and healthy.
Hey Kasper, thank you for showing the 5 different locations to test, unlike the other 12 videos that only show the usual 3. Your teaching style is excellent and camera quality is superior!!!
tubetop36 - Wow - thank you for the awesome compliment. Unfortunately I don’t feel that I teach well or use the camera well either. I appreciate the positive reinforcement. I’m glad this was helpful and surprised other videos don’t cover more on this. Please browse my channel and subscribe if you find my content interesting. Glad to be of assistance!!! All the Best and Happy New Year!!!!
@@SmokinwithKasket is the best. My heating element is now glowing bright orange thanks to him!!!
Thank you!!!
I stiked the fuse and put back and now my dryer is heating again
Thanks again!!!
Amazing! I already knew my thermal fuse was bad so i got a new one, but this video still helped me to learn something new. That reset trick is by far the best thing I've seen. 👏🏼👍🏻
Awesome Jorhan. Glad this video was helpful to you. Thank you for watching. All the Best-
@@SmokinwithKasket resetting that fuse always works?
@@daleg5553 Well..it too a couple of good thumps... but it did the trick...you might want to put it so that the little hook at the top is over the edge of the surface you are going to strike... making the strike a bit better.
@@SmokinwithKasket That's pretty high brother, my kit came with the Heating Element, both of those parts via Amazon for 28 bucks. I will link it below in case anyone here needs the Heating Element also. Of course, yours is a different model, but the prices can't be that different. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0829K9XCJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Watched this video 2 years ago. Just watched it again. Good video !!
Great to hear. Hope it was helpful for you. Thank you for your support.
Excellent tutorial. We have the same dryer so this was just what I needed. I’ve only been a homeowner for ~5 years but thanks to videos like yours I have found that there is a lot you can do to fix things before paying someone or buying new.
Great yo hear!!! So glad this vid was helpful for you. Please be sure to subscribe. Best wishes and stay safe and healthy!!!
William Kasper So to be clear, the 3rd thermal cutoff (the white one you had to check off camera) had continuity the same as the other 2 correct? That’s the one I’m not getting a tone on. The other 2 and the heating element are all good.
I just used your video last night to help take out these parts! Now I ordered a new set and I feel confident putting the new ones in. Thanks so much for this helpful video!
Such good news. I’m glad this video was helpful for you. You’ll definitely be able to fix your issue. Be sure to unplug!!!!
Best of luck-
@@SmokinwithKasket I gotta update! It is all fixed now!!!!! Amazon sent me bent parts at first so I had to wait for the new ones but I did it yay!
Mr. Kasper, That's just amazing to see how to reset the thermal fuse. You're simply awesome :)
Thank you
Thank you for watching. That is a cool trick isn’t it? Stay safe and healthy.
@@SmokinwithKasket , are you a professional electrician or do it as your hobby? The reason I'm asking because I love fixing anything broken. I am a student rn majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Love to have a mentor like you if you don't mind.
I'm going to try it right now, I hope it's the same procedure for the gas dryer
While I don't have the same model, had to access by the back, my thermal sensor was exactly the same and was bad too. Reset it just like you did, now we'll be set until our new washer/dryer is delivered in a couple of weeks!!! Thank you so much for the video!
I'm glad this video was helpful. Thank you for your kind support. Hope you'll love the new appliances. Stay safe and healthy!!!
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.
Great advice. Thank you. Appreciate your comment and support.
William, brilliant bonus tip! Had just replace high temp thermostat 2 days ago. It went out again. (Everything cleaned prior to replacement, every component tested). Your reset trick worked, so far. Thanks!
Great to hear. Glad this video was helpful.
This guy is amazing. I am 63 old lady and was able to fix this on my own. You rock dude!
What an awesome comment!. I am so glad to hear that this video was helpful to you. Thank you for watching and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe.
Your reset trick saved the day today. I am ordering new fuses but until they come we can still use the dryer, thanks.
Glad I could help
I paid 175.00 for my dryer 10. Years ago.. i fixed it with help from your video.. but I'll be honest, I don't know if i should have.. my wife looked so disappointed..
ShartingFish - That’s funny. I bet she was hoping for a new dryer. Look at it this way, you fixed it long enough to find a good sale on a new one. Glad this was helpful. All the Best -
William Kasper I'm hoping for another 10 years.. with the dryer at least.. ;)
@@shartingfish5761 I'm pretty sure you will make 10 years. You may have to replace the belt and/or rollers, but that's minor.
Your wife is a stupid one !
Great video! I have a nearly identical model that has just stopped heating, and I will try these steps (including the unplugging it first for sure).
Thank you for watching and commenting. I’m sure this video will be helpful. Unplug it please!!! Lol. Stay safe and good luck.
What would we do without UA-cam ?
I know it. UA-cam bailed me outta of problems many times!!! I’m happy & blessed to be able to create content and share with everyone. Thank you for watching, commenting and hopefully subscribing. Stay safe!!!
Be broke af
Thank you u tube
Took the bottom cover off of my Kenmore dryer and it looks almost exactly like the one on the video. I'm going in with my meter and let you know later how it works out. 🤞👊
Great. Hopefully you’ll find the problem. Thank you for watching and commenting. Stay safe.
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!
❤you are unselfish person. You explained everything crystal clear.
What an awesome comment. Thank you. I’m glad the video was helpful. Stay safe!
Thank you for the great video. Made the repair so simple, and made me look like a hero to my wife.
Great yo hear. Glad I was able to help. Stay safe and healthy. All the Best -
Thanks. I got mine fixed with the reset of the fuse. This video saved me time and money.
Glad to hear this video was helpful. Have a safe and Happy New Year!!!
You saved our dryer!! And possibly a marriage! This was so thorough and perfectly narrator for the absolute beginner. Can’t thank you enough. I know it was long ago but I hope those ribs were delish!
Awesome to hear that this video was helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting, and hopefully subscribing. Appreciate your support! Stay safe and healthy!
losing a marriage over a dryer? you are a loser
Thanks for the video wish I had seen this before ordering ALL the replacement parts!!! Could have saved myself $100.🤦
Thank you for watching and commenting. Sorry you overspent but I’m glad the video was helpful for you. Stay safe and healthy!
@@SmokinwithKasket after replacing the thermal fuse to no avail I went and got a multimeter and the bad part was same as yours (thermal cut off) so I ordered the kit. Then I saw the tip at the end and just tried banging it to no avail, oh well correct part is on the way and now I have a multimeter and back up thermal fuse.😂
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.
Sometimes it’s better to replace more now then waiting till each component fails. Thank you for sharing.
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!!!
Great to hear this was helpful. thanks for watching. stay safe and healthy during these times. All the Best-
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.
That is so awesome to hear. I’m glad it worked. I would still recommend replacing that fuse with a factory reset fuse. Thank you for watching and hopefully subscribing. I’m glad this video was helpful for you.
I tapped that fuse/ thermol resister on the ground lightly 4 to 5 times and BAMM.. The heat element fired up. Thank you Sir
Great video! This was exactly what I needed in order to diagnose and repair my dryer. You saved me lots of time and money vs. calling a repairman. My only problem came from not taking a picture of the wiring when I disconnected. I was able to pretty easily trace wires back and paused your video to see where they all connected. Thanks and keep them coming! ✌🏼
Im sorry I missed your post. Thank you for the kind comment and I’m glad to hear this video was helpful. Happy New Year and have a safe 2022.
Thanks William, great instructions.

First time seeing this in March 2022. I can't access my heating element! I've changed every other part and still no heat. Bewildered would be an understatement!
Check your timer, It’s the module with the knob on it to adjust time/temperature.

Thanks for the video, very helpful. New subscriber
I made my living for over 45 years by fixing appliances. and had my own business for 37 years. He is correct about the Thermal fuses they are most often the problem. When the air flow in Dryers is slowed down and the temperature is the dryer is high the thermal fuses will blow. If you find a problem it is rare that you will find another. The 2 nd thermal fuse will keep he is showing will not allow the dryer to run as it turns off the motor. The cause of these Fuses blowing is several things from opening the door when the dryer is is at maximum heat 2- the lint filter is packed with lint not allowing good air flow.3- vent plugged. 4- the air flow in the dryer is plugged somewhere. The thermal fuse reset is not a successful way to fix your problem as every time it trips it takes less heat to trip it next time. The sensor on the element that is in front is not a fuse it is a safety thermostat that only opens if their is to much heat in the heat chamber and it will reset its self when it starts to cool. I rarely ever found one bad but the 2 are sold as a kit. The reason is the big one will trip at lower temperatures also the more it trips. Keeping the air system in the dryer clean and the vent in good condition and not opening the door when the dryer is working will almost always stop these problems.
EXCELLENT ADVICE AND INSIGHT!!! Thank you for your input “hal chestnut”. This is priceless advice for everyone. I never considered the fact that opening the door while the dryer is at maximum heat could blow the fuse. This makes total sense. Airflow stops and the heat will naturally rise for a short while tripping the fuse. I agree that resetting that fuse will not be like factory new but at least there’s a way to reset until one can order a new one or have on standby. Thank you again for your professional input. All the Best-
I keep blowing the rear switch!!! No obstruction as the air flow outside is strong!
I can't thank you enough! We have the same model and this video was a life saver! Many, many thanks Mr. Kasper!!

thanks William i appreciate your time, effort and knowledge of dryers. thanks for putting this vid together. keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching. Happy New Year!!!!
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.
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!!!

Thank you. Appreciate the positive comment. I hope it helped you. I had to lay on the floor and adjust my body position to gain access plus hold a camera to video the procedure. It was quite challenging and time consuming. LOL!!! Stay safe and healthy!!!
Thanks for this. Combined with a few other videos I have disassembled (and reassembled a number of time) my Kenmore 80 series. I have cleaned and tested everything. My meter (and instinct) have pointed to the element. Rather than 8 (or around) Ohms nada! Unfortunately I can’t find a video showing me how to replace the element on our style dryers (bottom under drum not back panel). If you or anyone can help much appreciated. I’m sure I can figure it out but after two weeks I want to replace, tighten, and dry!

Hello William, thank you very much for sharing this. I am about to begin trouble shooting my Mother's drier. One of the terminals on the plug is corroded & got hot enough to begin to melt the rubber. Any idea what could've caused that. I am pretty concerned as you mentioned house fire & I'd like to exercise extreme caution, naturally. Thanks again!

AWESOME!!!! I could never turn down a brisket dinner. Glad to hear this video was helpful. All the Best!!!
thank you. super helpful. great video.
You're the best! I reset mine and it's not working! Thank you!!!
Thanks! Hope the ribs came out well
Yes they did. Thanks for watching. Stay safe.
I have a friend who is trying to fix a 2008 coin operated Whirlpool commercial dryer. The dryer drum spins but no heat. He though the cycleing thermostat (the one with the 4 wires) the bigger outer pins have continuity and will open when heated on an electric stove top (I know not the best idea but I now know that part works) the inner 2 are for the heater to get it to work for the low heat setting is there a way to test that part out by connecting it to a 120V outlet?
PS: I love the empathizes about the unplug it part. Some people need that :)
Very good you did a good job thank you.
Hope the video was helpful. Thank you for watching and sharing.
Can you zoom in on the meeter to show the settings on the meter when checking if parts are good or bad
Thank you for the video hopefully you can guide me in the right direction my dryer stopped drying I took the thermal cutoff out slammed it on the ground reinstalled bam the coils started glowing went to my nearest appliance parts store they sold me the thermal cutoff and thermostat installed both, coils started glowing I thought I was good today while at work I get a call saying the dryer isn't heating came home took the panel off started checking for continuity everything checked out except the new thermal cutoff removed it again slammed it tested again and got continuity installed again coil starts glowing then I realized it shuts off after about 3-5 minutes it'll turn back on if yiu reset the timer on the dryer any idea what it could be? I tested the heating element got continuity.
Remember that whatever setting you use especially using a lower heat setting your heating element will cycle on and off. If you have it on high heat setting and it completely shuts off after running for a few minutes, then it could be your timer.
@William Kasper Thank you I'll have to check that out when I get home. I'm just so confused now I have no idea what to check I feel like Griswold on the movie when he puts up his Christmas lights and they won't turn on 🤣
Thank you for showing me how to do it myself diy God bless
Mr. C - Thank you. I appreciate you watching my video and I’m glad that it was helpful. Stay safe and healthy.
Hello. Great video. I have a Kenmore Elite dryer that does not produce heat. There is power going in and the drum turns. I have checked continuitynon the heating element, 3 thermal fuses and the black thermostat near the blower, and all parts have continuity. What else can the problem be? Thank you so much.
Sounds like you have a faulty timer. They do fail.
@@SmokinwithKasket I see. Thank you so much for getting back to me. Now I’ll need to find a video on how to locate and swap out the faulty timer. Happy Father’s Day.
Extremely helpful! I couldn’t believe we have the exact same machine. Question, once the thermal fuze is reset, will it last as long? I’ve cleaned the dryer end to end and it still keeps blowing. Hesitant to put in a new one.
All my dryer components have continuity so I was kind of lost but you mention on your video that it could be the timer as well so how do test the timer? Continuity as week or it could be bypass to see if I get voltage to the heating element? Thanks!
