What does it mean when your dryer turns on but doesn't spin?
When a Kenmore Elite 11067062600 dryer powers on but the drum will not spin, it usually means the motor is running but the drum drive system is not transferring motion. The most common cause is a broken or slipped drum belt, followed by an idler pulley or drum support roller problem.
Quick checks before opening the cabinet
- Confirm the door fully closes and latches; a door issue can stop tumbling.
- Try turning the drum by hand (dryer unplugged); if it spins very freely, the belt may be broken.
- Start a cycle and listen:
- Motor hums/runs but no tumbling: likely belt, idler, roller, or a jam.
- Click then silence: possible motor issue or a safety switch stopping the motor.
- If the drum is stuck, check for a small item wedged at the front or rear drum seal.
Parts that most often cause “runs but won’t spin” on this model
For the 11067062600, these are common wear items we see tied to a no-tumble symptom:
- Dryer drum belt WP8547157
- Dryer idler assembly WPW10547292
- Support WPW10314173 (drum support roller)
- Dryer repair kit 4392067 (often bundles multiple wear parts)
What to do next (safe, practical path)
- Unplug the dryer (or switch off the breaker) before any inspection.
- Use the 11067062600 use & care manual for access and safety guidance.
- Inspect the belt path around the motor pulley and idler; replace any cracked, glazed, or broken belt.
- Spin the drum rollers by hand; replace rollers that bind, wobble, or feel rough.
- Check the idler pulley for a seized bearing or a pulley that will not spin smoothly.
Symptom-to-cause guide
| What you notice | Most likely cause | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Motor runs, drum doesn’t move | Belt broken/off | Replace belt |
| Loud squeal, then no tumbling | Idler pulley failing | Replace idler |
| Thumping, drum hard to turn | Roller worn/flat-spotted | Replace rollers |
| Drum won’t turn by hand | Jammed drum or seized roller | Clear jam or replace roller |
Why it matters
A slipping belt or seized roller can overload the drive motor and shorten its life. Fixing the drive system early helps prevent bigger repairs and keeps drying performance consistent.

How much does it cost to replace drum bearings on a dryer?
Replacing drum bearings on a Kenmore Elite 11067062600 dryer typically costs $150 to $400 total. The parts are usually the smaller share of the bill; most of the cost is labor because the dryer must be opened up and the drum support components inspected and serviced.
What you are usually paying for
Drum “bearing” noise on this model is often related to drum support wear (rear support, drum rollers, idler pulley, belt, and seals). We recommend using the troubleshooting and access steps in the 11067062600 dryer manual.
Typical cost drivers include:
- Diagnostic/service call (if you hire a technician)
- Labor time to remove the cabinet and drum
- Parts replaced (often more than one wear item)
- Extra work if the drum has been rubbing and damaged seals or the drum surface
Common parts that get replaced together
If you are already opening the dryer, it often makes sense to refresh multiple wear items at once.
- Dryer repair kit 4392067 (commonly bundles multiple wear components)
- Support WPW10314173 (drum support roller)
- Dryer drum belt WP8547157 (belt wear can cause squeal or thump)
- Drum seal 280140 (felt seal that can wear if the drum rubs)
Cost ranges (parts vs. labor)
| Scenario | Typical parts cost | Typical labor cost | Typical total |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY replacement | $30 to $150 | $0 | $30 to $150 |
| Pro repair (single wear item) | $30 to $120 | $120 to $280 | $150 to $400 |
| Pro repair (multiple wear items) | $80 to $200 | $180 to $350 | $260 to $550 |
Why it matters
Worn drum support parts can quickly get louder and can lead to secondary wear (belt damage, seal wear, or drum rubbing). Fixing the root cause early usually keeps the repair smaller and helps the dryer run smoother and quieter.

How much does it cost to replace a heating element in a Kenmore dryer?
For Kenmore Elite dryer model 11067062600, the heating element part itself is typically $20 to $120, depending on whether you buy the element alone or a more complete assembly. If you hire a technician, total replacement cost is commonly $100 to $350 including labor.
What you may need to replace (not just the element)
On model 11067062600, a “no heat” complaint is not always the heater. We often see heat failures caused by a safety device opening due to restricted airflow.
Common related parts to check:
- Dryer heating element WP8544772
- Dryer thermal fuse WP3390719
- Whirlpool dryer thermal cut-off fuse kit (352-degree f) 280148
- Dryer high-limit thermostat WP8557403
- Lint screen and venting (clogs can overheat the heater housing)
Typical cost breakdown
Costs vary by region and service rates, but this is a realistic planning range.
| Cost item | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Heating element part | $20 to $120 | Model-specific; element-only is usually less than an assembly |
| Extra safety parts (if needed) | $15 to $60 | Thermal fuse, thermal cut-off, high-limit thermostat |
| Labor (service call + install) | $80 to $250 | Depends on access, diagnosis time, and local rates |
| Estimated total (pro install) | $100 to $350 | Most common all-in range |
Why it matters
If the dryer overheated because of poor airflow, replacing only the heater can lead to repeat failures. Cleaning the lint screen, checking the exhaust duct, and confirming proper venting helps protect the new heating element and improves drying performance.
DIY planning tips for this model
- Disconnect power before servicing; this is a 240V electric dryer.
- If the dryer runs but won’t heat, check airflow first, then test the thermal fuse and thermostats.
- Use the wiring and safety guidance in the 11067062600 dryer manual before disassembly.

What are common problems with Kenmore dryers?
For Kenmore Elite dryer model 11067062600, the most common problems we see are no heat or long dry times, won’t start, won’t tumble, and loud squealing or thumping. These symptoms often trace back to airflow restrictions or wear parts such as a thermal fuse, heating circuit components, or drum support parts (see the 11067062600 dryer manual).
Most common symptoms and likely causes
- Dryer won’t heat / takes too long to dry: restricted venting, failed heating element, blown thermal fuse, or a temperature-sensing issue.
- Dryer won’t start: power supply problem (tripped breaker), door not fully closed, or a failed safety component.
- Drum won’t tumble: broken belt or a seized drum support component.
- Squealing, grinding, or thumping noise: worn rollers, idler, or belt.
- Clothes overdry or underdry on Auto cycles: moisture sensor bars dirty or sensor circuit issue.
Model-specific parts that commonly fix these issues
Because 11067062600 is an electric dryer platform, these parts are frequent solutions when symptoms match:
- Dryer thermal fuse WP3390719 (no heat, won’t run in some cases)
- Dryer heating element WP8544772 (no heat)
- Dryer thermistor WP8577274 (temperature control problems)
- Dryer drum belt WP8547157 (won’t tumble)
- Support WPW10314173 (noise, thumping from worn drum support roller)
Quick checks before replacing parts
- Clean the lint screen and confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood.
- Check the breaker; many electric dryers use a 2-pole breaker and one side can trip.
- Avoid overloading; heavy loads can mimic “no heat” by extending dry time.
- If the dryer runs but dries poorly, inspect vent length and elbows (long runs reduce performance).
Symptom-to-part cheat sheet
| Symptom | Most common fix path | Parts often involved (examples) |
|---|---|---|
| No heat | Verify airflow, then test heating circuit | WP3390719, WP8544772, WP8577274 |
| Won’t tumble | Inspect belt and drum support | WP8547157, WPW10314173 |
| Loud squeal/thump | Inspect rollers/idler/belt wear | WPW10314173, WP8547157 |
| Auto cycles inconsistent | Clean sensor bars, then test sensor circuit | WP3387223, WP8577274 |
Why it matters
Dryer problems often start with restricted venting; that can cause overheating, repeated thermal fuse failures, and longer dry times. Fixing airflow first helps protect the heating system and reduces repeat repairs.
