Ed Z October 25, 2012 for Model Number 97585200 Old kenmore dryer gets warm but not hot. Takes 2 hours to dry a load. Is heating element most likely bad, or something else?
1 Answer Hello Ed. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly.

P J September 29, 2011 for Model Number Kelvinator dryer DET400G3W The red connection wire to the heating element terminal has burned out twice. Now the terminal it self has burned and broken off of the ceramic block that holds it. My questions are: Can this ceramic block be ordered separate from the heating element and what causes this to overheat and burn?
1 Answer Hello PJ. No, you will need to order the heater assembly 3937010. Bad crimps on the wires and bad venting can cause the wires to burn out. Make sure the vent is clean, and the terminal is crimped good on the wire. Hope this helps. Read More...
