Kenmore 1106108710 electric dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the appliance ID label; for model 1106108710, it will read 1106108710 (sometimes with a prefix like 110.). Once you match that full number, you can confidently choose compatible parts and troubleshooting info.

On most Kenmore electric dryers like 1106108710, check these common spots:

• Inside the door opening on the front panel (most common)
• On the door frame itself
• On the back panel of the dryer cabinet
• Along the lower front edge behind the door
• Near the lint screen housing (varies by design)

Kenmore model numbers are easy to misread because they are long and can include punctuation.

• Write the model number exactly as shown (all digits, in order)
• Ignore spaces; keep all numbers together
• If you see 110.6108710, the usable model number is still 1106108710
• Use the full model number, not just the first three digits

We use the exact model number to match the correct Kenmore dryer parts (like a door switch, drive belt, or thermostat). Even one digit off can point to a different drum size, door style, or wiring setup.

If you’re troubleshooting and the dryer is showing an error or acting up after you confirm the model number, use our Kenmore 110 series electronic control model dryer error codes guide to narrow down the failure.

Common problems we see on Kenmore electric dryers like model 1106108710 include no heat, long dry times, the drum not turning, and unusual noises. Most of these issues trace back to airflow restrictions (lint and venting), worn drive components, or failed safety and temperature-control parts.

• Dryer runs but won’t heat: failed thermostat, heating circuit issue, or a safety device opening due to overheating
• Long drying times: restricted venting, clogged lint screen housing, or weak airflow
• Drum won’t turn: worn or broken belt, seized drum support parts, or motor-related problems
• Squealing, thumping, scraping: worn drum support components or a loose/worn belt
• Won’t start: door not closing/latching, a bad switch, or power supply problems

1. Clean the lint screen and check for lint buildup at the exhaust outlet.
2. Confirm strong airflow outside at the vent hood while the dryer runs.
3. Verify the door closes firmly and the latch engages; a worn strike can prevent proper closure.
4. Listen for motor hum with no drum movement (often points to a belt or drum support issue).
5. If the dryer is completely dead, check the house breaker (electric dryers typically use a 2-pole breaker).

Airflow problems can cause overheating, shut down heating, and shorten the life of components like thermostats and belts. Fixing venting and basic wear items first often restores normal drying and prevents repeat failures.

A Kenmore electric dryer like model 1106108710 typically lasts 13 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Keeping airflow strong and replacing wear items (like belts and door components) on time helps the dryer reach its full service life.

Most dryers reach their expected lifespan when heat can move freely through the drum and vent system, and the drum support and drive system stay in good condition.

• Clean the lint screen before every load
• Keep the vent run short, smooth, and unobstructed
• Avoid overloading (extra strain on the motor and belt)
• Address squealing, thumping, or burning smells right away
• Replace worn parts before they cause secondary damage

If your 1106108710 is still heating and tumbling but is getting noisy, slow to start, or not closing properly, these are common repair points.

A dryer that is near end-of-life often shows up as longer dry times, overheating, or repeated part failures. Fixing airflow issues and replacing a simple wear part (like a belt or door seal) can restore performance and prevent bigger repairs.
