Kenmore 11062872102 dryer Parts

For Kenmore dryer model 11062872102, the exact model number is printed on the model and serial number label located at the top inside the dryer door well. We recommend copying the full model number and serial number exactly as shown before ordering parts or scheduling service.

Where to look on the dryer

On this Kenmore dryer, open the door and check the door opening area:

• Look inside the door opening (the “door well”).
• Find the label at the top of that opening.
• Record the complete model number (all digits) and the serial number.
• Keep the numbers with your purchase info for future reference.
• Use the label, not the owner’s manual cover, since manuals sometimes list only a partial model.

For a diagram and wording specific to this model, use the 11062872102 owner’s manual.

Tips to avoid common model-number mistakes

These quick checks prevent ordering the wrong Kenmore dryer parts (belt, heating element, thermostat, timer):

• Write the model number exactly; do not drop digits (example: 11062872102, not “110.6287”).
• Use the label’s model number even if the control panel branding looks different.
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to confirm each digit.
• Match the model number first, then choose parts by symptom (no heat, won’t start, noisy, long dry times).

What you will use the model number for

What you’re doing	Why the exact model number matters
Ordering replacement parts	Ensures correct fit and wiring/terminal style
Looking up diagrams	Shows the correct drum, blower, and heater layout
Troubleshooting	Points you to the right checks and specifications

Why it matters

Kenmore dryers often share similar styling across multiple series, but internal components can differ. Using the model/serial label inside the door well helps us match the correct parts list and avoid returns.

On Kenmore dryer model 11062872102, the model and serial number label (often called the ID tag) is located at the top inside the dryer door well. That label is what we use to look up the correct replacement parts for your exact dryer.

What to look for on the label

The label typically includes several identifiers; any of these can help us match parts correctly:

• Model number (for this dryer: 11062872102)
• Serial number (unique to your unit)
• Purchase date (sometimes recorded by the owner)
• Electrical ratings (voltage/amps) and other manufacturing details

For the exact wording and location description, check the 11062872102 owner's manual.

How to find it quickly

1. Open the dryer door.
2. Look along the top edge inside the door opening (the door well).
3. Find the sticker or metal tag with the printed model and serial information.

If the label is hard to read

• Wipe dust off with a dry cloth (avoid soaking the label).
• Use a flashlight and take a close-up photo to zoom in.
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.

Model number vs. part number (what’s the difference?)

Item	Where you’ll see it	What it’s used for
Model number	On the ID label inside the door well	Identifies the exact dryer version
Serial number	On the same ID label	Identifies your specific unit
Part number	On the part itself or parts packaging	Identifies the replacement component

Why it matters

Kenmore dryers can look similar across many versions, but parts like a heating element, thermal cut-off, or drum belt can vary by model. Using the ID label information helps ensure you get the right match the first time.

To tell the age of a Kenmore dryer like model 11062872102, we use the serial number, not the model number. The serial number is printed on the dryer’s rating label; once you have it, you can decode the manufacturing date using the format shown in the 11062872102 owner's manual.

Where to find the serial number

Check these common locations on Kenmore dryers:

• Door opening on the cabinet frame (open the door and look around the opening)
• Inside the door on the door panel
• Rear panel of the dryer cabinet
• Side panel near the top or bottom edge
• On a metal tag or printed rating label

How to decode the date once you have it

Kenmore model numbers (like 11062872102) identify the product line and manufacturer family, but the serial number is what ties to a build date.

Typical serial number date coding falls into one of these patterns:

What you see in the serial number	What it usually means	What to do
Letters plus numbers (example: starts with 2 letters)	Plant and date code are embedded	Match the letter/number positions to the date key in the manual
A clear week or month style code	Production week or month	Convert week or month to a calendar date
A long numeric string	Date code is often in the first few digits	Check the manual’s serial number decoding section

Why it matters

Knowing the manufacturing date helps us choose the right replacement parts and troubleshooting path for your Kenmore dryer. For example, age can influence which version of a wear item fits best, such as the dryer drum belt 341241 or a maintenance bundle like the dryer repair kit 4392065.

Kenmore 80 Series dryers are full-size machines; for Kenmore model 11062872102, the manual references 27-inch and 29-inch wide dryer platforms (used for dryer rack fit). For exact exterior width, height, depth, and drum capacity, use the specifications section in the 11062872102 owner's manual.

What “size” can mean for a dryer

Most shoppers mean one of these measurements or specs:

• Cabinet width (fit in an alcove or next to a washer)
• Overall depth (door swing and vent clearance)
• Overall height (countertop or shelf clearance)
• Drum capacity (load size in cubic feet)
• Electrical or gas requirements (installation compatibility)

What we can confirm from the manual for model 11062872102

The manual discusses dryer rack use with two common full-size widths:

Item referenced in the manual	Size noted	What it tells you
Dryer rack fitment	27 in. wide dryers	This model family is in the full-size range
Dryer rack fitment	29 in. wide dryers	Some versions use the wider cabinet platform

How to get the exact measurements for your specific unit

Use these checks to lock in the correct “size” before ordering parts or planning an install:

• Measure the widest point of the cabinet (not the drum opening).
• Measure depth from the back panel to the front; add space for the vent elbow.
• Confirm the model/serial tag matches 11062872102.
• Use the spec details in the 11062872102 owner's manual to verify your configuration.
• If you are servicing the drum while measuring, a worn belt can also affect performance; the dryer drum belt 341241 is a common wear item on this design.

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents tight installs that restrict airflow. Good airflow protects heating components (like thermostats and thermal cutoffs), improves drying time, and reduces overheating problems.
