Troubleshooting
Question and Answers
I have a Kenmore 500 series LNC7766A71, the Dryer isn't working but I can hear the ticking,but Dryer won't start?
Thank you for your question on the Maycor built dryer model LNC7766A71.
I need to ask you a couple of questions about the dryer.
Can you feel any heat when you turn the dyer on and let it run for a couple of minutes and then open the door and feel inside to see if it is warm? .
Can you tell if the motor is running and it is heating but the drum is not turning?
If the motor is running you should be able to feel air coming out of the vent on the outside of the house.
If that is the case then I think the drum drive belt is broken and will need to be replaced.
If the belt is broken the part number is 341241 for about $21.00.
Please let me know what you find out and we can continue to troubleshoot if needed. .

Thank you for the update on the dryer not running. This dryer has a thermal fuse that if it is open it will not let the dryer motor start. This is a common problem if the air flow has lint blocking the vent. You will need a meter to check this internal fuse to see if that is the problem. First disconnect power to the dryer. Then locate the two front spring tabs between the dryer top and the front panel about 2 to 3 inches in from each side and use a putty knife type tool to push in and lift up on the dryer top. Once you have the top up locate the thermal fuse on the back right corner of the cabinet on a bracket. It will have two wires going to it. If you have an ohm/meter you can remove one of the wires and check across the to thermal fuse terminals to see if it is open and you have no continuity. If you do not feel confident repairing this problem yourself, then you can have it repaired at your home by a Sears technician.

Please let me know what you find and we can continue to troubleshoot if the fuse is good. Sam A.
