1 Answer Mike, That's a very reasonable guess, but first check and make sure there is 220-240 VAC supplied to the dryer, reset the breaker several times. when you check the heater element, also check the thermal cut off 279973 and hi limit switch WP3391914 for closed circuits. Read More...
Ronald F December 12, 2015 for Model Number GBS307PDQ7 I h ave a question about a wall oven!I hit bake and sometimes it over heats and the oven locks,and I can't open it. I finally have to turn the main breaker off and wait until it cools down to open it! What is the problem!
1 Answer Ronald, You will want to check the oven sensor for 1090 ohms of resistance at room temp. If the sensor checks ok then the most likely cause for this issue will be a control board that has a stuck relay. Read More...

J. October 10, 2015 for Model Number 11062972102 Is there a repair video for the heat element replacement?
1 Answer Hello J., While we do not have a video on this design, you may still be able to locate a video on the web. This unit will be tougher to locate since it is a Kenmore and Sears does not share their information. This is a Whirlpool configuration so you may be more successful in locating a video on a comparable Whirlpool model number. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Martha, This may be possible but not financially feasible. I'm sorry but it would be cheaper to buy an electric model than it would be to purchase all of the parts to do this conversion. Read More...
