To reset your Kenmore Elite dryer model 79671553610, we recommend a simple power reset: turn the dryer off, unplug it (or switch off the breaker) for about 5 minutes, then restore power and start a cycle. If the display shows CL, turn off Control Lock by holding Drum Light for 5 seconds (per the 79671553610 owner's manual).

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Press POWER to turn the dryer off.
• Unplug the power cord (or turn the circuit breaker off).
• Wait 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Press POWER, select a cycle, then press START/PAUSE.

If you see “CL” on the display

“CL” means Control Lock is on; the dryer will power on, but the controls stay disabled.

• Press and hold DRUM LIGHT for 5 seconds to toggle Control Lock off.
• Confirm the CL indicator clears, then start a cycle.

If the dryer shuts off and “loses” settings

This model turns itself off after being stopped for more than 4 minutes, and settings are cleared.

What happened	What it means	What to do
Paused too long	Auto power-off	Press POWER, reselect cycle, press START/PAUSE
Door opened mid-cycle	Cycle paused	Close door, press START/PAUSE
Power interruption	Control reset	Perform the 5-minute power reset

Why it matters

A reset clears minor control glitches and helps you quickly separate a simple control issue (like Control Lock) from airflow or heating problems that can cause poor drying.

After resetting: check airflow basics

Restricted venting can cause long dry times and overheating-related symptoms.

• Clean the lint screen before every load
• Check the vent for crushing, kinks, or lint buildup
• Keep the duct run as short and straight as possible
• If drying is inconsistent, inspect the lint screen area for gaps or damage

If your lint screen is torn or not fitting correctly, replacing it can help restore proper airflow; see the dryer lint screen 5231EL1001C.

Yes, repairing an older Kenmore Elite dryer like model 79671553610 is worth it when the problem is a normal wear item (belt, roller, idler) or a simple airflow issue, and the dryer is otherwise safe and drying well. If you are facing repeated breakdowns or major electrical or gas-heat problems, replacement is usually the better value.

Quick way to decide (what we use)

• If the dryer still tumbles smoothly and heats normally, a repair is usually cost-effective.
• If it is noisy, not tumbling, or taking too long to dry, common mechanical parts often fix it.
• If you smell gas, see scorching, or the unit trips breakers repeatedly, stop using it and schedule service.
• If multiple major parts are failing close together, replacement typically costs less long-term.

Common “worth it” repairs on this model

These are typical wear items that fail with age and are usually straightforward repairs:

• Drum not turning: belt or idler pulley
• Thumping or squealing: drum support rollers
• Poor drying: lint screen or airflow restriction (venting)

Symptom	Most likely area	Typical fix type
Drum won’t turn	Drive system	Replace belt or idler
Loud rumble/thump	Drum support	Replace roller(s)
Long dry times	Airflow/lint	Clean venting, replace lint screen
Overheating/shuts off	Temperature sensing	Diagnose thermostats/thermistor

Parts that often make a repair economical

• Lg dryer drum belt 4400EL2001F
• Dryer drum support roller 4581EL2002H
• Lg dryer idler pulley 4561EL3002A
• Dryer lint screen by lg 5231EL1001C

Why it matters

A dryer that is slow to dry or overheating can waste energy and increase wear on components. Fixing airflow and common wear parts early often prevents bigger failures and keeps drying performance consistent.

What to check first (before buying parts)

• Clean the lint screen and confirm the exhaust vent is not crushed or clogged.
• Listen for squealing, grinding, or thumping while the drum turns.
• Confirm the drum turns freely by hand (with power off).
• Use the troubleshooting and safety guidance in the 79671553610 use and care guide.

For Kenmore Elite dryer model 79671553610, common display codes point to power issues, vent restrictions, or sensor and control problems. Start by noting the exact code, then follow the reset and airflow checks in the 79671553610 owner's manual before replacing parts.

Common Kenmore Elite dryer codes and what they mean

Here are codes you will commonly see on Kenmore Elite dryers, including the 796.7155* series:

• PF: Power failure during a cycle
• CL: Control lock is on (buttons disabled)
• tE1 to tE7: Temperature sensor (thermistor) failure
• PS (electric models): Power cord wired incorrectly
• nP: Incorrect power cord connection
• gAS (gas models): Gas supply off or gas service issue
• d80 / d90 / d95: Exhaust vent restriction (about 80% to 95% blocked)

What to do first (safe, fast checks)

We recommend these steps before ordering parts:

• Unplug the dryer (or switch off the breaker) for 1 minute, then restore power and retry.
• If you see PF, check for a tripped breaker or blown fuse.
• If you see CL, press and hold DRUM LIGHT for 3 seconds to toggle Control Lock.
• If you see d80/d90/d95, stop using the dryer and clean or repair the entire vent run.
• If you see gAS, confirm both the house gas shutoff and dryer gas shutoff valves are fully open.

Quick reference table

Code	What it points to	Best first action
PF	Power interruption	Check breaker, outlet, cord fit
CL	Control lock enabled	Hold DRUM LIGHT 3 seconds
tE1-tE7	Thermistor/sensing problem	Power off; service diagnosis
d80/d90/d95	Severe vent restriction	Clean venting before running
nP / PS	Wiring/connection issue	Verify terminal block wiring
gAS	Gas supply issue	Open shutoffs; confirm supply

Why it matters

Error codes help prevent bigger failures. For example, d80/d90/d95 indicates restricted airflow that increases drying time and energy use and can overheat components like thermostats and the blower system.

When a part is likely involved

If the code repeats after the checks above, these parts are commonly involved:

• Temperature sensing issues (tE codes): consider the dryer thermistor AGM30045804
• Overheating or airflow symptoms: inspect lint screen, blower wheel, and venting
• No heat on gas models: ignition and gas valve circuits may need testing

On Kenmore Elite dryer model 79671553610, AF means the dryer is detecting restricted airflow through the exhaust system. This condition increases drying time and can trigger airflow-related warnings such as the Check Vent indicator; correcting the vent restriction restores normal performance.

What to check first (fast airflow fixes)

• Clean the lint screen before every load; a clogged screen is the most common cause.
• Inspect the vent hose behind the dryer for kinks, crushing, or sagging.
• Check the outside vent hood; confirm the damper opens fully and is not blocked by lint.
• Remove lint buildup from the entire duct run; ducts should be cleaned at least yearly.
• Replace plastic or foil venting with rigid or semi-rigid metal ducting.

How we confirm airflow is the problem

Your 79671553610 has a duct blockage sensing system that can illuminate the Check Vent indicator when there is a serious restriction in the home exhaust system. For a performance check, we follow the airflow guidance in the 79671553610 owner's manual.

Quick airflow check

1. Run a heated cycle.
2. After about 3 minutes, verify the exhaust air is warm.
3. If airflow feels weak at the outside hood, the restriction is in the venting, not the drum.

Common causes and what they lead to

Likely cause	What you may notice	What to do
Lint buildup in duct	AF, long dry times	Clean duct run and hood
Vent hose kinked/crushed	AF after moving dryer	Re-route or replace hose
Vent run too long	Slow drying even when clean	Shorten run, reduce elbows
Wrong vent material (foil/plastic)	Frequent restrictions	Upgrade to metal venting

Why it matters

Restricted exhaust airflow reduces energy efficiency and greatly increases drying time. It can also cause the dryer to run hotter than intended, so clearing the venting is the best first repair step before replacing parts.

If you are also seeing an error code or warning light pattern, the Kenmore elite dryer error codes guide helps match the display to the right troubleshooting path.

If our Kenmore Elite dryer model 79671553610 runs but the drum will not turn, the most common causes are a broken or slipped drum belt, a failed idler pulley, or worn drum support rollers. Start with a quick belt and drum check, then inspect the drive system parts.

Quick checks first (no tools)

• Unplug the dryer.
• Open the door and try to rotate the drum by hand.
• Listen for the motor running while the drum stays still (often points to a belt or idler issue).
• Check for a heavy load jammed against the front or rear drum seal.

Most likely causes and what to look for

• Broken or stretched belt: Drum turns freely by hand; motor may run but drum does not move.
• Idler pulley problem: Squealing, thumping, or belt slipping; pulley may be seized or off-track.
• Worn drum support rollers: Rumbling or thumping; drum may bind and stop turning.
• Motor issue: Hums but will not start, or stops quickly (less common than belt and rollers).

Common parts for model 79671553610

Symptom	What you’ll notice	Part to inspect first
Motor runs, drum does not	No tumbling, little to no airflow change	Lg dryer drum belt 4400EL2001F
Squeal, belt slips, intermittent tumbling	Noise near motor area	Lg dryer idler pulley 4561EL3002A
Rumble or thump as drum tries to turn	Drum feels rough or “flat spots”	Dryer drum support roller 4581EL2002H

How we recommend diagnosing it (simple sequence)

• Step 1: Confirm belt condition. If the belt is snapped or off the drum, replace it.
• Step 2: Spin the idler pulley by hand. It should spin smoothly and quietly; replace if seized or wobbly.
• Step 3: Check drum rollers. Rollers should spin freely without grinding; replace worn rollers.
• Step 4: Recheck drum movement. After correcting binding parts, the drum should rotate smoothly.

Why it matters

A dryer that will not spin usually cannot dry properly, and continuing to run it can damage the belt, idler pulley, drum rollers, or even the motor. Fixing the drive system early prevents bigger repairs.

For model-specific disassembly notes and safety steps, follow the 79671553610 owner's manual.
