Dukenc June 09, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore model/stock # 96588210 switch # 3398194 Hello my Kenmore electric dryer all of a sudden would stop a couple of times in the mid drying cycle. When I pushed the start button it would work fine and cycle thru. Heat did not seem to be an issue. Today when I went to press the start button the dryer will not start. I tried turning the timmer knob thru a few cycles and it still will not start? Could it be the timmer switch? The pn is 3398914 . Thanks in advance for your help.
1 Answer Duke, It could be the timer, but you'd actually want to test the door switch and start switch first. It's more likely to have a bad switch, W10820036 or WP3395382, than a bad timer contact with the issue as you describe it. Read More...
Karin September 17, 2012 for Model Number 11097584800 The dryer stops in mid cycle. When I turn the knob it works for a bit and then stops again. What part # do I need to fix this.
1 Answer Hello Karin. If the unit needs to cool for a few minutes and then starts and runs, it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
