Kenmore 11087294340 gas dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the appliance’s ID label; for model 11087294340, you will see that exact number on the label. Once you match the label to the full model number, we can pull the correct gas dryer parts list and diagrams for your unit.

Where to find the model number label

Check these common Kenmore dryer locations (look for a sticker or metal plate):

• Inside the dryer door opening on the cabinet frame
• On the back panel of the dryer
• On the front frame behind the door (near the lint screen housing)
• Along the side panel edge near the door opening

What the model number looks like (and why it matters)

Kenmore model numbers are typically a long string of digits. For this dryer, the correct format is:

What to match	Example for your dryer	Why it matters
Full model number	11087294340	Ensures exact-fit parts and correct diagrams
Prefix (first 3 digits)	110	Helps narrow the platform used to build the dryer

Why it matters

Using the full model number prevents ordering the wrong items when parts vary by revision, even within the same Kenmore series.

Tips to avoid mix-ups when ordering parts

Before you shop, we recommend you:

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (include all digits)
• Also write down the serial number (useful for production changes)
• Compare your dryer’s features (gas burner, lint screen location, door style) to the diagrams
• If you are troubleshooting a symptom (no heat, no start), use a model-specific guide like Kenmore 110 series electronic control model dryer error codes

If the label is hard to read

If the label is worn, take a clear photo with good lighting and try viewing it at an angle. If you still cannot read it, replacing parts based on appearance alone is risky; start with the model label so you can match items like the drum belt 341241 correctly.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore gas dryer model 11087294340 include no heat, long dry times, the drum not turning, and unusual noises. These issues usually trace back to airflow restrictions (lint buildup) or normal wear on drive and heating components such as the belt, thermal fuse, igniter, and blower wheel.

Most common symptoms and what they usually mean

• Dryer runs but won’t heat: failed thermal fuse, igniter, radiant sensor, or gas valve components
• Long drying times: restricted venting, clogged lint chute, or a damaged blower wheel
• Drum won’t turn: broken belt, worn idler pulley, or a failing drive motor
• Squealing, thumping, or scraping: worn drum support parts, pulley issues, or a loose blower wheel
• Door won’t stay closed or won’t start: door latch/strike alignment or switch-related issues

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, no parts)

1. Clean the lint screen and check the lint chute for buildup.
2. Confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood.
3. Make sure the drum turns freely by hand (with power off).
4. Listen for the motor running; note if you hear humming without drum movement.
5. If heat is weak or intermittent, stop using the dryer until venting is confirmed clear.

Parts that commonly fix these problems on model 11087294340

Symptom	Common part to check	Example part for this model
Drum not turning	Belt and idler system	Drum belt 341241, dryer idler pulley WP691366
No heat	Ignition and safety circuit	Dryer igniter 279311, fuse WP3390719, dryer radiant sensor WP338906
Long dry times	Air movement	Dryer blower wheel WP694089, dryer lint chute assembly W11117429
Loud noise	Drum support and drive	Whirlpool dryer drum front bearing 279441, motor 279827

Why it matters

A Kenmore gas dryer depends on steady airflow to dry safely and efficiently. Restricted venting can cause overheating, repeated thermal fuse failures, and longer cycles, while worn drive parts can lead to sudden no-tumble failures.

Most Kenmore gas dryers like model 11087294340 are full-size units that measure about 27 inches wide, 27 to 29 inches deep, and 43 to 44 inches tall. For the exact cabinet size and clearance requirements for your installation, use the model’s specification details and compare to your laundry space.

Typical dimensions and what to measure

Use these common full-size dryer ranges as a planning baseline:

• Width: ~27 inches
• Height: ~43 to 44 inches
• Depth (cabinet): ~27 to 29 inches
• Depth (with door open): often 45 inches or more
• Vent connection clearance: typically needs extra space behind the dryer

To measure your space accurately, we recommend measuring:

• Wall-to-wall width where the dryer sits
• Floor-to-shelf height (including any overhead cabinets)
• Back wall to front edge of the dryer area (include baseboards)
• Space for the gas line shutoff and flexible connector
• Space for the exhaust duct bend radius

Quick fit checklist (gas dryer)

A gas dryer installation usually needs more than just the cabinet footprint.

• Leave room for the gas supply line and shutoff valve
• Allow space for the exhaust vent duct (avoid tight kinks)
• Confirm the door swing clears walls, washer, and cabinets
• Plan for side clearance so the drum can tumble without vibration contact
• Make sure the floor is level to reduce noise and belt wear

Planning guide: cabinet depth vs. “installed” depth

Measurement	What it includes	Typical range
Cabinet depth	Dryer body only	27 to 29 in.
Installed depth	Cabinet + vent/gas clearance	29 to 34+ in.
Door-open depth	Cabinet + open door	45+ in.

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents crushed venting (longer dry times), pinched gas connectors, and vibration issues that can shorten the life of wear parts like the drum belt 341241.
