Parts for Kenmore 110.97577400 (11097577400, 110 97577400): Top And Console Parts

This mechanical timer controls and advances each stage of a 3-cycle program. Replacing a worn timer restores proper sequencing so the appliance progresses through cycles automatically without stopping, skipping steps, or running indefinitely.

• Controls the sequence and duration of each cycle
• Routes power to components (motor, pump, heater) at the correct times
• Advances the dial through each stage automatically
• Symptoms may include cycles not advancing, stopping mid-cycle, running too long, or needing manual knob advancement

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing
• Access the timer from the control console; note orientation and mounting
• Photograph/label wires and transfer terminal-for-terminal to the new timer
• Secure the timer, reinstall the console, and run a test cycle to confirm proper advancing

The Start Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is an electronic component responsible for initiating the heating elements and tumble cycles upon user command from the control panel.   

Causes of a bad start switch involve general wear over extended use. Failure of the internal conducting surfaces interrupts circuit activation as well.

Symptoms of a bad start switch include:  

• Heating elements or tumble cycles that will not engage properly
• Dryer fails to operate or stops mid-cycle unexpectedly
• Control panel appears non-responsive to selections  
• Error codes related to ignition or power delivery faults

Note: This dryer push-to-start switch has 2 terminals.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore electric dryer models. 

The Temperature Selector Switch is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This electro-mechanical switch allows consumers to choose between heat settings that adequately dry different fabric types.

Causes of a damaged selector switch can include regular wear from hundreds of cycles over the appliance's lifetime. Mineral deposits accumulating inside linkage mechanics may cause rotational movements to stiffen. The physical impacts of shifting internal contact positions could potentially lead to switching issues as well.

Symptoms of a faulty temperature selector involve:

• Inability to change heat level for desired drying performance  
• Temperature remaining stuck on highest or lowest settings
• Lint filter or duct cleaning lights failing to illuminate properly

This OEM replacement is compatible with some Kenmore and KitchenAid electric dryer models too.

This is a replacement machine screw sized 8-18 x 3/8 that secures panels and components on compatible appliances. It restores proper fastening where a worn, stripped, or missing screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does

• Fastens control panels, trim pieces, or brackets to the appliance chassis
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws that cause loose panels or vibrating noise
• Provides correct thread engagement for a secure hold in tapped holes
• Small hardware solution often used during door, console, or interior repairs

• One 8-18 x 3/8 machine screw (quantity: 1)

• Use the correct screw size and thread; do not force a different-size fastener into tapped holes
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the appropriate screwdriver
• Disconnect power before accessing internal components or panels on electrical appliances
• If metal threads are damaged, repair with a helicoil or replace the damaged component rather than over-torquing

This wire harness assembly routes power and control signals between components so the appliance operates reliably. It replaces a damaged or worn harness to restore proper electrical connections and reduce intermittent faults. What it does:

• Provides the main connector wiring between electrical components and the control board.
• Restores lost power or control signals caused by broken, frayed, or burnt wires.
• Helps stop intermittent operation, control errors, or components that won't power on.
• Maintains secure connector fit and correct wire routing to prevent shorting.

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair.
• Handle connectors carefully; release locking tabs to avoid damage.
• Route and secure the harness following original wire paths and clips to prevent chafing.

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

This lint screen captures lint during each cycle to keep airflow steady and drying consistent. Replacing a torn or warped screen helps reduce long dry times, overheating shut-offs, and lint buildup in the vent path.

What it does

• Traps lint and debris before air exits the drum
• Maintains proper airflow for efficient, even drying
• Helps keep lint out of the blower and exhaust duct
• Replaces screens that are torn, warped, or won’t seat flush

What’s included
One lint screen.

Install notes

• Power off the dryer before reaching into the lint housing.
• Vacuum and wipe the lint channel clean before installing the new screen.
• Seat the screen fully; don’t operate the dryer without it.
• Clean the screen before every load; wash with mild soap if residue builds up.

Usage tip
If you use dryer sheets or liquid softener, rinse the screen periodically to remove film that can restrict airflow.

This genuine part is an OEM replacement part is also compatible with Amana and KitchenAid models as well.
