Kenmore 11087673100 gas dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the appliance ID label; on most Kenmore dryers it’s located around the door opening (door frame) or just inside the door. For your dryer, the model number format looks like 110.XXXXXXXX (example: 11087673100).

Where to look for the model number label

Check these common spots in this order:

• On the door frame around the opening (most common)
• Just inside the door on the cabinet front
• On the back panel of the dryer
• On a side panel near the rear edge

What the numbers mean (Kenmore model numbers)

Kenmore model numbers usually start with a 3-digit prefix that identifies the manufacturer. For example:

Prefix	Common manufacturer	What it helps with
110	Whirlpool-built Kenmore	Matching the correct parts diagrams and replacement parts
417	Frigidaire/Electrolux-built Kenmore	Finding the right error code list and parts
796	LG-built Kenmore	Identifying the correct control and sensor parts

Tips to make sure you copy it correctly

Use these quick checks before ordering parts:

• Write down the full model number exactly as shown (all digits)
• Record the serial number too (it helps distinguish production runs)
• Take a clear photo of the label for reference
• If the label is worn, look for faint stamped/printed characters under bright light

Why it matters

Kenmore dryers can look similar across different series, but parts like the drive belt, igniter, and gas valve components vary by model. Using the exact model number helps us match parts for your Kenmore 11087673100 gas dryer, such as the belt 341241 or the dryer igniter 279311.

If your Kenmore gas dryer model 11087673100 suddenly will not run at all, a blown thermal fuse is a common cause. Less often, the dryer may run but shut off quickly; the most reliable way to know is to test the fuse for continuity with a multimeter.

Quick symptoms to look for

A thermal fuse is a one-time safety device that opens when the dryer overheats (often from restricted airflow). Common signs include:

• Dryer will not start (no motor run) even though the controls respond
• Dryer starts, then stops after a short time (overheat condition may still be present)
• Burning smell or unusually hot cabinet (stop using the dryer immediately)
• Lint screen area has weak airflow
• Vent hood outside has little to no warm air flow

How to test the thermal fuse (best confirmation)

1. Unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply.
2. Access the thermal fuse (location varies by design; commonly on the blower housing or exhaust duct inside the cabinet).
3. Pull the wires off the fuse terminals.
4. Set a multimeter to continuity or lowest ohms.
5. Touch a probe to each terminal.

• Good fuse: continuity (beep) or near 0 ohms
• Blown fuse: no continuity (no beep) or infinite resistance

Fix the cause before replacing parts

Replacing the fuse without correcting airflow usually leads to another failure.

• Clean the lint screen and the lint screen housing
• Inspect and clear the entire vent run to the outside
• Replace crushed, kinked, or excessively long venting
• Confirm the outside vent flap opens fully during operation

Common related parts to consider

If you are already opening the cabinet, these parts are often checked during no-heat or airflow-related repairs:

Symptom	Common area to check	Example part on this model page
No heat (gas) or intermittent heat	Burner ignition system	Dryer igniter 279311
Heat cuts in and out	Gas valve coils	Dryer valve coil kit 279834
Weak airflow, loud rumble	Blower wheel	Dryer blower wheel WP694089

Why it matters

A blown thermal fuse is telling you the dryer overheated. Restoring proper airflow helps the dryer dry faster, protects the burner system, and reduces repeat shutdowns.

On the Kenmore gas dryer model 11087673100, the most common part failures usually show up as no heat, no tumble, loud squealing/thumping, or shutting off mid-cycle. These symptoms typically trace back to the drive system (belt and pulley), the burner ignition system, airflow components, or a worn motor.

Most common failures and what you’ll notice

• Drum won’t turn: a broken belt or a seized pulley can stop tumbling (see belt 341241 and pulley WP8066184).
• Runs but won’t heat: ignition or gas valve components often cause intermittent or no flame (see dryer igniter 279311 and dryer valve coil kit 279834).
• Weak airflow, long dry times: a damaged blower wheel can reduce airflow and cause overheating (see dryer blower wheel WP694089).
• Clicking, humming, or won’t start: a failing drive motor can struggle to start or run (see motor 279827).
• Door won’t stay closed or won’t start when closed: a worn latch can prevent proper door closure (see catch 279570).

Quick symptom-to-part checklist

Symptom	Most likely area	Parts on this model that commonly apply
No tumble, motor runs	Drive system	Belt, pulley
No heat or heat cuts out	Gas ignition	Igniter, valve coil kit, radiant sensor
Loud squeal or scraping	Drum support/bearing area	Drum front bearing, support
Poor airflow, burning smell	Blower/venting	Blower wheel

Why it matters

Catching these failures early helps prevent secondary damage. For example, a slipping belt can overwork the motor, and poor airflow can cause overheating that shortens the life of multiple components.
