Jamar February 02, 2013 Hello, My Kenmore Dryer model number110.96060100 has power but will not start. Replaced the push to start switch and it still did not start. What else could the problem be and is it a do it yourself job like the push to start switch. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Hello Jamar, You will want to check your thermal fuses to make sure that they are good. When checking the thermal fuses, unplug unit and disconnect the wires on the fuse. Check for continuity on the fuses and also on the thermostats and if no continuity then the thermal fuse is bad and needs to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Cortez November 16, 2012 for Model Number LE8860XWQO Hi, my dryer just suddenly stop.....it does have current going to it.I open the top panel,to check but the only thing I see wrong is the switch looks kind of burn...on one side of the connector.
1 Answer Hello Cortez. You will need to check the thermal fuse WP3392519 and the door switch W10820036 on the unit. They should read closed for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

George M. May 21, 2012 for Model Number LTG6234AW1 I replaced the timer per your answer to my previous question about the dryer and it still shuts off in the off position and clicks through the off postion and starts back up. I'm guessing that its the start button. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Hello George. You can test the push to start switch 279173 and see if it is working properly. If the switch is pressed, it should read closed for continuity. If it is not pressed, it should read open for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
George May 10, 2012 for Model Number LTG6234AW1 My dryer keeps running. In that it shuts off while the timer is in the off location but it keeps clicking through the off position and starts back up in the next mode in the dryer dial. The serviceman put in a new timer and the same thing happens, so he removed the new and put the old one back in. And said he'd call me back with a solution, he never called. My guess is the start button shorted out and keeps the timer going. Your thoughts?
1 Answer Hi George. The timer is part # WP3976569. If the timer motor keeps the timer contacts activated it will keep the timer in constant rotation. Are you sure the timer skirt is misplaced on the timer shaft 180° out of phase? There is nothing out of ordinary on this gas dryer that would effect it elsewhere. It is possible the previous technicians timer out of the box was bad (it happens on any man made part). Give this a try. Let us know how to assist you further. Thank You. Read More...
Elizabeth B. March 30, 2012 for Model Number 110.86681700 How do install this switch on my kenmore v110.86681700??
1 Answer Hello Elizabeth. Unplug the unit and remove the back panel off the control panel. Now, remove the knob off the switch by pulling it off. Then remove the push to start switch and wire the new switch 279173 as the old one was wired. There are markings on the switch to help you do this. Hope this helps. Read More...
Bob July 15, 2011 for Model Number 86980100 This switch # AP2997390 is pricey, how can I tell if its bad? My dryer won't run but the door switch seems OK
1 Answer Hello Bob, you will need a multi meter MA-DM1. You can test any of the contacts on the switch, when you are pressing in on the switch you will get a closed reading showing you are getting continuity. Once you release it you should not get a reading, meaning the switch is doing exactly what it should. Here is a link you can refer to for help with using a multi meter: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html . Hope this helps!
