Kenmore 11076922502 dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label on the appliance. For Kenmore model 11076922502, check the label around the door opening (door frame area) first; it’s the fastest way to match the correct parts and instructions in the owner's manual.

Where to look for the model number label

Check these common locations on Kenmore dryers:

• Around the door opening on the cabinet (door frame area)
• On the inside of the dryer door
• On the back panel (less common, but possible)
• Near the lower front opening after removing the toe panel (some designs)

What to write down (and why)

We recommend recording both numbers exactly as shown on the label:

• Model number (example: 11076922502)
• Serial number (helps identify production details)
• Purchase date (useful for warranty and service records)

The manual specifically calls out recording the complete model number and serial number from the product label so you have it ready when you need parts or service.

Quick check: model number vs. serial number

Why it matters

Kenmore uses multiple manufacturers across different product lines, so the model number is what ensures you get the correct replacement parts (like a door switch, idler pulley, or drum support roller) and the right repair instructions for your exact dryer.

Most Kenmore model 11076922502 dryers are a standard full-size footprint; plan on about 29 inches wide and about 43 1/2 inches high, with depth varying by door style and vent hookup. For the exact cabinet dimensions and required clearances, use the installation guide.

Typical dimensions to plan for

These are the measurements we use for space planning when the exact depth depends on installation details:

• Width: about 29 in. (73.7 cm) (this matches the 29-inch wide dryer reference in the manual)
• Height: about 43 1/2 in. (110.5 cm) (shown in the installation guide)
• Depth: typically 27 to 30 in. (depth changes with door, handle, and rear vent elbow)
• Rear clearance for venting: allow at least 5 1/2 in. (14 cm) behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with an elbow

Space planning checklist (so the dryer fits and vents correctly)

• Measure the opening width at the front and back (trim can narrow the rear).
• Include room for the power cord or gas line and the 4-inch exhaust vent.
• Add clearance for a rear vent elbow; tight installs often need extra depth.
• Confirm the door swing will clear walls, cabinets, and the washer lid.
• If installing in a mobile home, plan for outside air provisions as described in the installation instructions.

Quick reference table

What you are measuring	What to expect for 11076922502	Why it can change
Width	~29 in.	Cabinet size is fixed, but side clearances vary by install
Height	~43 1/2 in.	Leveling feet and floor slope can affect final height
Depth	~27 to 30 in.	Door/handle and rear vent elbow add depth
Rear clearance	5 1/2 in. minimum (with elbow)	Needed to prevent crushed or restricted venting

Why it matters

Correct sizing is not just about fitting the dryer into the alcove; it also protects airflow. If the vent is kinked or crushed because the space is too tight, drying times increase and lint buildup becomes more likely.

On the Kenmore 11076922502 dryer, the most common part failures involve heat production, drum tumbling, airflow, and starting circuits. These issues typically show up as no heat, no tumble, won’t start, long dry times, or shutting off from overheating; our owner's manual troubleshooting and care steps help narrow it down fast.

Most common failures (by symptom)

• No heat or weak heat: gas ignition parts (igniter, radiant sensor, gas valve coils), thermostats, or airflow restrictions
• Drum won’t tumble or squeals/thumps: worn drum support rollers, idler pulley problems, or a failing drive motor
• Won’t start: door switch, push-to-start switch, timer, or power supply issues
• Long dry times / overheating: lint buildup in the venting path, crushed vent, or a damaged blower wheel
• Door won’t stay closed: worn door latch/catch

Model-matched parts that commonly fix these problems

If your symptoms match, these are frequent repair parts for this model:

• Support WPW10314173 (drum support roller)
• Dryer idler pulley 279640
• Dryer door switch WP3406107
• Dryer valve coil kit 279834 (gas heat ignition)
• Igniter 279311
• Dryer radiant sensor WP338906
• Dryer blower wheel WP697772

Quick checks we recommend first

These steps often prevent repeat failures and help confirm the real cause:

• Clean the lint screen before each load.
• Inspect the venting; use clamps to seal joints and avoid screws that protrude into the duct.
• Clean the entire vent system at least every 2 years (or sooner with heavy use).
• If the dryer is electric, confirm you have 240V supply (a dryer can tumble with only one leg of power but not heat).
• Make sure the door closes firmly and the Start button is pressed with a cycle selected.

Common symptom-to-part map

Symptom	Most likely area	Example parts on this model
No heat (gas)	Ignition system	Igniter, radiant sensor, valve coils
Squealing/grinding	Drum support/idler	Support roller, idler pulley
Won’t start	Start/door/control	Door switch, push-to-start, timer
Long dry times	Airflow/blower	Blower wheel, venting/ducting

Why it matters

Dryer failures often cascade: restricted airflow can cause overheating and shorten the life of heat and motor components. Keeping venting clean and the lint path clear improves drying performance and reduces repeat breakdowns.
