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.

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

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

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

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 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.

• 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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
