Kenmore 41791122310 dryer Parts

On the Kenmore dryer model 41791122310, the model and serial tag is typically located on the inside of the dryer door opening (on the cabinet/frame). Use that exact model number when ordering parts or looking up troubleshooting steps in the 41791122310 use & care guide.

Where to look on this Kenmore dryer

Check these common tag locations in this order:

• Inside the door opening on the cabinet/frame (most common)
• Door frame area near the latch side
• Back of the dryer near the top edge
• Side panel near the rear (less common)

What to write down (and why)

Record both numbers exactly as shown:

• Model number (example format: 417.91122310)
• Serial number (unique to your unit)
• Purchase date (helpful for service history)

Quick ID checklist

• Use all digits; do not drop leading zeros.
• If the tag shows a dot (for example, 417.91122310), we recommend entering it without spaces.
• Match the model number exactly to avoid ordering the wrong part.

Model number vs. serial number

Item	What it tells us	Used for
Model number	The exact design/version of the dryer	Correct parts, diagrams, manuals
Serial number	Your unit’s unique build identifier	Service history, production details

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers can look very similar across different dryers. Using the exact model number (like 41791122310) helps ensure parts such as a belt, door switch, or thermostat match your dryer’s configuration.

On Kenmore dryer model 41791122310, PF stands for power failure. It means the dryer’s cycle was interrupted because the unit briefly lost electrical power (or the power supply dropped low enough that the control stopped the cycle). For operating details, see the 41791122310 use & care manual.

What to do when you see PF

• Press START to resume the cycle if the load is still wet and the dryer allows restart.
• If the cycle will not resume, press CANCEL and reselect the cycle.
• Check that the dryer plug is fully seated in the outlet (no loose connection).
• Check the home breaker or fuse; reset the breaker or replace a blown fuse.
• If PF happens repeatedly, avoid using an extension cord and have the outlet checked.

Common causes (and what they point to)

Likely cause	What you may notice	What to check next
Brief outage or flicker	PF appears once after a storm or utility event	Restart cycle and monitor
Loose plug or worn outlet	PF happens when the dryer vibrates	Reseat plug; inspect outlet grip
Tripped breaker / blown fuse	Dryer stops completely	Reset breaker; check for repeated trips
Power cord/terminal connection issue	Intermittent shutdowns	Review wiring and connections in the 41791122310 installation guide

Why it matters

A PF code is usually not a dryer failure; it is the control telling you the cycle stopped unexpectedly. Fixing the power interruption helps prevent incomplete drying and reduces the chance of repeated shutdowns.

For Kenmore dryer model 41791122310, the correct belt is the model-matched drum belt 134719300; belt length and rib/groove specs vary by design, so we recommend matching by model and part number rather than using a “universal” size. See the 41791122310 use & care manual for safety steps before servicing.

How to choose the right belt for model 41791122310

Use your model number to avoid ordering a belt that is too long/short or has the wrong profile.

• Confirm the model number on the door opening label: 41791122310
• Match the belt by part number for this model: 134719300
• Replace the belt if the drum won’t turn, you smell rubber, or you hear slapping/thumping
• Inspect the idler and rollers while you are in the cabinet; worn support parts can shorten belt life
• Unplug the dryer (and shut off gas if applicable) before opening panels

Recommended replacement part for this model

For this Kenmore dryer, use this model-compatible belt:

• White-westinghouse dryer drum belt 134719300

Quick reference

Item	What to match	Why it matters
Dryer model	41791122310	Ensures correct drum size and belt routing
Belt identifier	134719300	Prevents wrong length/profile issues
Related wear items	Idler, drum rollers	Reduces repeat failures and noise

Why it matters

Dryer drum belts are not one-size-fits-all. A belt that is even slightly off can slip, squeal, shred, or keep the drum from tumbling, which leads to poor drying and possible overheating.

Yes. For the Kenmore dryer model 41791122310, the most reliable “reset” is a power reset: turn the dryer off, unplug it (or switch the breaker off) for about 1 minute, then restore power and start a cycle again. See the 41791122310 use & care manual for normal control operation.

Quick reset steps (safe for most situations)

• Press CANCEL to stop the current cycle.
• Unplug the dryer (or turn the breaker OFF).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Restore power.
• Close the door firmly and press START.
• If the controls are locked, unlock them before testing.

If the controls are locked (LOC)

This model uses a control lock feature. If you see LOC or the buttons do not respond, press and hold Options and Select together for about 5 seconds to toggle the lock.

What “reset” can and cannot fix

A reset can clear a temporary control glitch, but it will not fix a failed door switch, blown thermal limiter, or a mechanical problem.

Symptom after reset	Most likely cause	What to check next
Dryer won’t start	Power, door not closed, control lock	Outlet/breaker, door latch, unlock controls
Starts then stops	Door switch issue, overheating protection	Airflow/venting, door switch function
Runs but no heat	Heating system or airflow problem	Vent restriction, heating components

When to suspect a part problem

If the dryer still will not start after a reset, common culprits include:

• Door not latching fully (inspect the catch/strike area)
• Failed door switch
• Overheating protection opening due to restricted venting
• Drive system issue (motor/belt) if the motor hums but drum will not turn

If you’re troubleshooting a no-start condition, a common electrical part to inspect is the dryer door switch 134813601.

Why it matters

Resetting is a fast first step that can save time, but repeated “resets” usually mean an underlying issue (airflow restriction, door-latch problem, or a failing component) that needs attention to prevent repeat shutdowns.
