How to figure out dryer model number?
Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the model and serial number plate. On Kenmore model 11062202100, you’ll typically find this plate just inside the door opening on the cabinet or door frame; record both the model and serial number for parts lookup and service.
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Open the dryer door and inspect the cabinet rim around the opening.
- Check the door frame area near the latch side.
- Look for a metal plate or sticker labeled “Model No.” and “Serial No.”
- If the label is hard to see, use a flashlight and wipe dust off the plate.
- Write the numbers down exactly as shown (letters and digits).
What the label usually looks like
Most Kenmore electric dryers of this style use a “Model No. and Serial No. Plate” that lists both identifiers together. The manual also notes you will need the complete model and serial numbers when requesting information. See the 11062202100 owner's manual.
If you cannot find the plate in the door area
On many dryers, the model/serial label can also be located in one of these spots:
- Rear panel of the cabinet
- Inside the front panel area (requires panel removal)
- Side panel near the front edge
| What you need | Why you need it | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matches parts diagrams and compatible parts | 11062202100 |
| Serial number | Helps identify production run details | Mix of letters and numbers |
Why it matters
Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong parts (for example, a belt, door switch, or heating component that looks similar but mounts differently). It also speeds up troubleshooting and service.

How to reset Kenmore Elite Oasis dryer?
For the Kenmore dryer model 11062202100, the most reliable “reset” is a power reset: unplug the dryer (or switch the breaker off) for 1 minute, then restore power and start a cycle normally. This clears many temporary control and motor-start issues.
Quick reset steps (safe and effective)
- Turn the Cycle Selector (timer) to OFF.
- Unplug the dryer (or turn the breaker OFF) for 60 seconds.
- Restore power.
- Close the door fully.
- Select a heat cycle and press the start button.
- If it still will not start, follow the checks in the 11062202100 owner's manual.
If the dryer still will not start after a reset
A reset will not fix a failed switch, blown fuse, or drive problem. These are the most common next checks:
- Confirm the dryer is plugged into a grounded outlet and the house fuse or breaker is OK.
- Make sure the door is closing and latching; a bad door switch can prevent starting.
- Press the start button firmly; opening the door stops the dryer and it will not restart until the door is closed and Start is pressed again.
- If the motor hums but the drum will not turn, inspect the belt and idler.
- If the dryer runs but has poor airflow, clean lint buildup and the venting.
Common symptoms and what they usually point to
| What you notice | What it often means | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing happens when you press Start | Power, door switch, start circuit | Outlet, breaker, door latch/switch |
| Motor runs but drum does not turn | Broken/slipping belt or pulley issue | Dryer drum belt 341241, idler pulley |
| Dryer stops mid-cycle or will not restart | Overheat protection opened | Venting, lint buildup, thermal fuse kit |
Why it matters
A “reset” is a fast first step, but repeated no-start or stopping problems usually mean a safety switch or airflow issue needs attention. Fixing the root cause helps prevent overheating and repeat shutdowns.

How many cubic feet is a Kenmore model 11062202100 dryer?
The Kenmore dryer model 11062202100 is typically listed as a 6.7 cu. ft. super-capacity electric dryer. For the most reliable confirmation for your exact configuration, we recommend checking the capacity/specifications section in the 11062202100 owner's manual.
How to confirm capacity on your dryer
We use the model number to match the correct documentation and specs. To verify you are looking at the right information:
- Find the model and serial number plate on the cabinet (commonly inside the door opening).
- Match the model number exactly: 11062202100.
- Check the specifications or feature description section in the 11062202100 owner's manual.
- If your dryer has a different suffix or a different model on the plate, use that exact model for parts and specs.
Why capacity matters
Capacity (cubic feet) helps you choose the right cycle and load size so clothes tumble freely. Overloading can increase dry time, raise operating temperature, and add wear to key moving parts like the drum belt and idler pulley.
Quick guidance: what 6.7 cu. ft. means in real use
| Load type | Typical fit in a 6.7 cu. ft. dryer | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday mixed load | 1 full washer load | Leave space for tumbling |
| Towels | Medium to large towel load | Use high heat only if fabric allows |
| Bulky items | 1 comforter (size varies) | Dry with dryer balls, avoid packing tight |
Related parts that can be affected by overloading
If the drum struggles to turn, squeals, or slips under heavy loads, these parts are commonly involved:
- Dryer drum belt 341241 (belt can slip, crack, or break)
- Idler pulley WP691366 (can seize or squeal)
- Motor 279827 (can overheat or fail under strain)
