Kenmore 11072062102 gas dryer Parts

On a Kenmore 11072062102 gas dryer, the PF code means power failure. It shows up when the dryer loses power during a cycle or was plugged in during installation; clear it with STOP/CANCEL, then restart the cycle if needed (see the owner's manual).

What to do when you see PF

• Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display.
• Press START to restart the cycle if it was interrupted.
• Confirm the dryer is firmly plugged into the outlet.
• Check your home circuit breaker or fuse (use a time-delay fuse if your setup uses fuses).
• Make sure the door is fully closed and the cycle is selected.

Common causes of PF on this model

PF is almost always caused by an interruption in incoming power, such as:

• A brief outage or flicker while the dryer is running
• A tripped breaker or blown fuse
• A loose power cord connection at the outlet
• Power being connected during installation or after moving the dryer

Quick reference: clear vs. restart

Goal	What to press	Result
Clear the PF message	STOP/CANCEL	Removes the code from the display
Continue drying	START	Restarts the selected cycle

Why it matters

A power interruption can stop the motor and controls mid-cycle, leaving clothes damp and sometimes making the dryer appear “dead” until the PF message is cleared and the cycle is restarted.

To reset your Kenmore gas dryer model 11072062102, clear the cycle and restore power: press STOP/CANCEL to end the cycle, then unplug the dryer for 1 minute and plug it back in. This resets the control and often clears a “PF” (power failure) message. See the 11072062102 owner's manual for the exact STOP/CANCEL and START behavior.

Quick reset options (in order)

• Press STOP/CANCEL once to pause, or STOP/CANCEL to stop the dryer.
• If you already started a cycle and want to end it, press STOP/CANCEL twice.
• Unplug the dryer for 1 minute, then plug it back in.
• Re-select a cycle and press START (the dryer can shut off if START is not pressed within about 5 minutes of choosing a cycle).
• If the display shows “PF”, press STOP/CANCEL to clear it, then press START to restart.

If the dryer still will not start after a reset

These checks solve most “won’t run” complaints on this model:

• Confirm the dryer is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker (use a time-delay fuse if applicable).
• Make sure the door is fully closed; a failed door switch can prevent starting.
• Verify a cycle is selected and START is pressed firmly.
• If the cycle was interrupted for more than 5 minutes, select the cycle again before pressing START.

Common parts related to “won’t start” symptoms

Symptom	What it affects	Part to consider
Dryer does nothing when you press START	Door safety circuit	Dryer door switch WP3406107
Starts then stops, or acts erratic after power flicker	Power interruption handling	Use STOP/CANCEL to clear “PF”

Why it matters

A proper reset clears a stuck cycle state and power-failure messages, but it also helps you quickly separate a simple control issue from a real start-interlock problem (like a door switch) or a power supply issue.

Kenmore gas dryer model 11072062102 is a full-size dryer in the 27-inch class. For the exact cabinet width, depth, and height for your specific unit, use the Dryer Dimensions section in the 11072062102 owner's manual; it also lists the clearances you must allow for safe venting.

What to plan for (typical full-size dryer footprint)

Most full-size Kenmore gas dryers like model 11072062102 fit within these common planning ranges:

• Width: about 27 inches
• Depth (cabinet): about 29 to 31 inches
• Height: about 38 to 43 inches
• Behind dryer: allow at least 5 1/2 inches for the exhaust vent and elbow (a common installation requirement)

How to confirm the exact measurements on your unit

Use the manual for the official dimensions, then verify with a tape measure if you are fitting a tight closet.

• Measure width at the widest cabinet point (not the door swing)
• Measure depth from the back panel to the front of the cabinet (exclude knobs/handle if they stick out)
• Measure height from the floor to the top of the cabinet
• Add room for the gas connection and vent duct elbow behind the dryer

Clearance quick guide

Area	What to allow	Purpose
Dryer body	27-inch class	Standard full-size fit
Rear clearance	5 1/2 in minimum	Space for vent and elbow
Sides/top	1 in recommended	Reduces noise transfer; improves service access

Why it matters

Correct sizing is about more than the cabinet fitting. A gas dryer needs proper outdoor venting; the right rear clearance helps prevent crushed ducting, poor airflow, and long dry times.

On Kenmore gas dryer model 11072062102, a CE display indicates the control is detecting a condition it cannot run through normally. Because CE is not a standard Kenmore 110-series code, treat it as a control-related stop and use the reset and power checks below before moving to component testing.

What to do first (safe reset and power checks)

• Unplug the dryer or switch off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power.
• Plug the dryer into a grounded 3-prong outlet; do not use an adapter or extension cord.
• Use a dedicated 15- or 20-amp circuit (recommended for this type of dryer).
• Start a timed dry cycle and listen for the motor to start; note whether CE appears immediately or after pressing Start.
• If the code returns right away, stop using the dryer until the cause is found.

For the grounding and electrical requirements for this model, follow the 11072062102 owner's manual.

Common causes when a dryer stops with a code-like display

CE is often triggered by an input the control does not like (power stability, door input, or a wiring connection). These are the most common items to check on this model family:

• Door not registering closed (switch or latch alignment)
• Loose or damaged wiring at the console or door switch circuit
• Intermittent power or poor grounding

When CE shows up	What to check next	Parts commonly involved
Immediately at power-up	Power supply, grounding, console connections	Wiring connections (harness)
When pressing Start	Door closed signal, Start input	Door switch
Mid-cycle	Power interruption, vibration-loosened connection	Harness connections

Parts to consider if the dryer will not start

If CE is paired with a no-start symptom, these parts are frequently tested for continuity and secure connections:

• Dryer door switch WP3406107
• Dryer wire harness WP3401850

Why it matters

A gas dryer relies on correct grounding and reliable input signals (like the door-closed circuit) to run safely. Fixing power, door-switch, or wiring issues prevents repeat shutdowns and protects the control.
