11066132410 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

My husband simply changed the switch and now I could'nt be happier. Thank you for sending the switch so quickly!

Very simple. First, unplug the dryer. Unscrew the 2 screws that hold the lint screen in place and remove the lint screen. Now comes the only complicated part. The video recommends using a putty knife to get the top of the dryer to open. I recommend plastic wedges (you can buy one for less than $1 at a local hardware store; I used 2) because then you will not damage the aluminum, which is very easy to do. Basically you put the wedges (I used two) into the opening and hit then very gently with a hammer and they force the top of the dryer to open. From there you remove the 2 screws that hold the switch in place, unplug the switch (this may take a little bit of effort), plug the new one in, put the screws back in place, put the top back on, screw the lint screen screws back in, put the lint screen back, plug the dryer in and you're good to go. This took all of 10 minutes

I followed the accurate video. I'm sure I saved a lot of money over having a repair man come out. Now maybe my wife will believe that I am capable of repairing some things myself... eh, probably not.

Unplug power supply or switch off breaker that supplies electricity to appliance .. Remove lint screen there's two star head screws that holds lint screen holder to top cover remove them, using a flat head screw driver there are two clips between top cover and body push screw driver to depress clip while lifting corner do in other after top cover will become free from clips raise top. Unplug old switch remove two star screws to free switch from inside dryer door

After reading on line that the door switch fixed the described problem 48% of the time I decided to order a door switch first. Very easy to follow the video instructions that were on line. In less than 15 minutes my dryer was working again.

Follow the vid it is perfect. The vid came with an email from your company.

Once I had determined that the door switch was broken (the black actuating arm was broken) I ordered a replacement. The procedure to replace it is the reverse of removal of the broken part: unplug the appliance to begin. There are 2 screws that hold the filter frame to the top of the dryer; these are removed and set aside for reuse. The top of the dryer can now be pulled up to gain access to the door switch. Make sure you leave enough space behind the dryer to prop the top up without letting it go backwards. Disconnect the wiring harness plug for the door switch and the unscrew the switch. There are 2 screws accessed from the upper right corner of the open door. Replace the switch, guiding the 2 screws into the mounting holes of the part, remembering to not over torque the screws, connect the wiring harness, close the lid, replace the 2 filter housing screws, plug the dryer back in to the electrical outlet and you should be good to go.

Installed new door switch, so, so simple. Unplug dryer, remove lint screen, undo 2 scews located at base of lint screen opening. Use flat head screw driver to pry up dryer top, once open, rest the top against the wall. Now you will see the door switch in the right hand corner at front of the dryer.Open the dryer door , remove 2 screws holding the broken switch, disconnect wire from dryer, click in the new switch, put everything back together, plug in the dryer and go! Super quick and easy, wish I had just done this months ago!!!!

YouTube.

The repair was simple. The plug must be pried away from the connection with a pocket knife or small flathead scew driver.

Followed the video and it was perfect. Easy repair that took under 15 minutes. Great, clear process that was perfectly easy.

I followed the you tube instructions. Unplugged the dryer. Removed the lint screen. Unscrewed 2 screws. Used puttty knife to open the top of dryer. Located the door switch and unplugged it and replaced with new part. Closed top. Replaced two screws and put lint filter back in. Plugged dryer in and turned it on. It worked like new. I'm a woman and this is second part I've had to replace on this dryer. Watch you tube video.

Googled the symptoms the cure was replace the motor. There was a video done by parts select that made the process even easier. Had it done in about 25 minutes.

An online video provided perfect instructions. Unplug the dryer. Remove the Lint filter and see two Phillips screws located on the top of the machine, then remove the screws. Then slide a stiff, thin putty knife under the right front corner between the top and the front panel. The clip inside has small feet holding it in place, so you need to angle the putty knife up slightly, then push in towards the back of the dryer while lifting up on the top. The corner will lift away from the front. Repeat the process on the other front corner. Now lift up the top that is hinged at the rear. I used a 24" 1 x 2 board to keep the top up. Open the front door and remove the two screws that hold the switch in place then unplug the switch on the inside of the dryer and remove. Plug in the new switch (2 or 3 wires may be present, but it doesn't matter). Attach the new switch using the two screws you removed. Lower the lid and tap each front corner to reengage the clips, then put the two screws back in at the lint filter. Replace the filter, plug the dryer back in, and you're done. I honestly think that it took longer to type these instructions than it took to do the actual repair.

Plugged in the switch, put in (2) screws and finished.
