Ernest January 13, 2013 for Model Number 110.60912990 The dryer will run and dry but the timer will cycle to the next cycle by itself and continue to run. I replaced the timer but it did not fix the problem. I also found that when I turn the knob to the next cycle, the unit comes on even though I didn't press the start button. I opened the door to shut it off but it continues to run with the door open. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Ernest, With the door open the unit should shut off. If the unit continues to run then you have a bad door switch. Also you will want to check your neutral wire from the door switch to the motor and back to timer for short to ground. This would keep the timer motor operating. Also check for shorted centrifugal switch. 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...
Dad January 01, 2013 for Model Number 11060922990 Electric dryer, when we go to hit the start button on the dryer the unit will not start.
1 Answer Dad, You'll need a multi meter to test the start switch for a momentary "closed" circuit, when the button is pressed WP3395382. You'll need to check the door switch W10820036 for a "closed" circuit, when the switch plunger is pressed down/in (D to D1). and the thermal fuse WP3390719 on the blower housing has to have a "closed" circuit to supply power to the motor so it will start and run.

Norm July 17, 2012 for Model Number 11065962401 I have an electric dryer and when I push the start button the dryer will only start when I turn the dial to the last 10 minutes of touch up on the timed cycle. Trying to determine which part needs to be placed?
1 Answer Hello Norm. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WP3976576 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
David June 22, 2012 for Model Number 110.66822692 Dryer cycles to off, but dial continues to rotate and then dryer comes back on.
1 Answer Hello David. If the timer cycles to off, but continues to run past the off position, it sounds like the timer WP3976576 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
John S. May 07, 2012 for Model Number 110 60832990-Kenmore Dryer My dryer runs and heats, but neither the set time indicator or heat senser turns the dryer off. What could be the cause?
1 Answer Hello John. Test and see if there is power coming to the timer motor. If so, and the timer does not turn, replace the timer WP3976576. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Greg March 26, 2012 for Model Number 11077832794 Gas dryer was set to normal dry. The timer didn't shut off but the dial moved around to the timed cycle portion and was progressing through that when I found it. Clothes were hot and dry; no issue there. When I ran another load on timed cycle it worked fine and shut off on time with clothes dry. Additionally, if the dial is not in an off position the dryer starts itself with door closing; no start button required. Need your advice!
1 Answer Hello Greg, Sounds like your only problem is a stuck push-to-start switch WP3395382. Have a great day! Read More...
Don March 10, 2012 for Model Number 11063032101 I am trying to repair our Kenmore dryer and the problem we have is the dryer quit working with 30 minutes left on the control timer. Trying to determine if I should replace the timer or could it be something else? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Don. If the dryer went completely dead, the thermal fuse WP3390719 is probably blown. Hope this helps! Have a great day! Read More...
Pete January 16, 2012 for Model Number 110.64902200 I have an kenmore electric dryer. When I push the start button will not start, I do hear a very faint clicking sound from the timer. Is the timer faulty or possible something else. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Pete. You will need to test the thermal fuse WP3392519 and the door switch WP3406107 and make sure they are good. If not, it will cause the dryer not to start. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

George November 14, 2011 for Model Number 110.78632700 The timer will not advance while it is running. It will not shut off unless I open the door or manually rotate knob to off. Could it possibly be anything else besides the timer?
1 Answer Hello George. Test and see if there is power coming to the timer motor. If so, and the motor does not turn, you will need to replace the timer WP3976576.

Termite T. July 21, 2011 for Model Number 110.64882401 The dryer stops before drying cycle completes.
1 Answer Hi Termite. Is the timer making a rattling or a chatter sound? They will do this for a period of time before the timer fails. This will be part # WP3976576. If the door is opening slightly, the door switch is part # WP3406107. Thank youIt 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. Hope this helps. . Read More...
