11084722402 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

I watched the part select you tube video that links specific loud dryer noises to specific broken or loose parts. It allowed me to identify the part I needed, which I ordered through their website. Two days later, I had the part and installed it, with help from another online video that showed me how to take the dryer apart to install the drum support roller. Thank you, the information provided made the repair quite easy. It works perfectly now!

After identfying that the problem was due to a damaged drum support roller, I decided to replace the bad roller instead of replacing the dyer itself.

The first thing was to remove the front cover
and the front panels to expose the drum. (Only a few screws hold them in place.) Next, the drum was removed by first releasing the belt from the motor pulley and tensioner, and then pulling the drum straight out.

At this point the two rollers would be exposed. The triangular plastic retaining locks were removed by slightly prying them off. The old rollers were then removed and replaced.

Before putting everything back, this was a good time to vacuum all the accumulated lint inside, especially the lint that had accumulated around the motor assembly and the fire box.

(A pleasant surprise: I found a lot of coins inside the unit, enough to recoup half of what I spent for the new rollers.)

Lifted top of dryer using putty knife. Took front panel off using socket wrench. Slipped drum belt off an took drum out. Vacuumed out entire interior. Replaced rollers an clips and reassembled!! Saved $100!!! Thank you!!

Repair was not successful

My husband is the one who fixed the door. He said he just popped it into place and was done in just a couple of seconds! The best part though was the quick service we received. . . I ordered the part around 10:30 in the morning, and it was at my front door by 5pm the next day!!! What great service!!!! We will definitely do business again with partselect. Com if we ever need more parts.

Popped the latch out and popped a new one in.

The real story here is that there was an ANSWER and a SOLUTION, to what was a GREAT
annoyance. If I wouldn't have found a part, I may have run off and bought a new dryer, when I really didn't need to, or paid A LOT of money for a repair man to come out. THANK YOU for your service. You made my life easier.

I ordered the door catch kit on a Wednesday at it arrived Saturday AM. It took less than 1 minute to pry out the old catch with a flat screwdriver and pop in the new one!

Popped out the old door catch kit and replaced it with the new one! Easy!!

All I had to do was get the model number off of the dryer and plug that information in online and within a couple of days the part arrived. It was great! There were directions that came with the part that explained how to replace the old latch with the new one.

I remember in the "olden days" when I would of had to call a repair guy out and paid a lot more than the $12.00 I did to replace the part myself. And, the only reason it was $12.00 dollars instead of $5-6 was because I had it shipped overnight.

Awesome!

The door catch kit is soo easy. They give you instructions on which one to use depending on your dryer and it fit perfectly into the door. This was great especially since it was so inexpensive! My husband thought we would have to replace the door.

Simply installed the piece and I was done. Took 10 seconds.

Simply put it in the exhaust hole.

Removed old catch and strike with screwdriver and needle nose pliers. Installed new parts. My old catch did not have comparible numbers so I just used the yellow one. Worked fine.

very smooth with your video instruction help

Take out the two screws the hold the lint screen filter compartment in place. Remove the two top clip retaining screws, and lift the top LOOSE and turn it a bit out of the way. I didn't find it necessary to remove the top. Unclip the two wire electrical connector at the top - front, and remove the 1/4 " screws the secure the front. Lift the front up and out of the way. Slide the drum belt off the tensioner and moter pulley and slide the drum out the front. Remove and install the rollers ( and its just that quick) and while your in there. Clean up a bit ... cant hurt right? Especially on and around the motor. Reverse the procedure but rotate the drum a few turns to properly position the belt. Total E.T. is maybe 20 minutes and on a 1 - 10 scale for "degree of difficulty ". This is about a 2. Save the money and do it yourself.
