Kenmore 1107012512 gas dryer Parts

For a hard reset on your Kenmore gas dryer model 1107012512, unplug the dryer (or switch off the breaker) for 5 minutes, then restore power and try a normal cycle. This clears many temporary control glitches and false error states.

• Turn the dryer OFF.
• Unplug the power cord (or turn the dryer circuit breaker OFF).
• Wait 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Open and close the door once, then select a cycle and press Start.

If you need model-specific button sequences or control behavior, follow the reset and startup guidance in the 1107012512 owner’s manual.

A hard reset helps with control issues; it will not fix a failed safety device or airflow problem. Check these common causes next:

• No heat or stops mid-cycle: restricted venting, overheating protection opening
• Won’t start: door not latching, failed start circuit, motor issue
• Runs but clothes stay damp: poor airflow, lint buildup, blower problem
• Squealing or thumping: worn belt, idler pulley, or rollers

• Clean the lint screen and confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood.
• Make sure the door closes firmly; a weak catch can prevent starting.
• Try a timed dry cycle to compare performance.

Resetting clears the control, but gas dryers also rely on airflow and safety thermostats. If venting is restricted, the dryer can overheat, shut down, or stop heating even after a successful reset.

Common problems with Kenmore dryers (including model 1107012512) are no heat, no tumble, long dry times, and loud noises. Most causes trace back to restricted airflow (lint or venting) or a worn drive system, plus gas-heat components like the igniter and thermostats.

• Dryer won’t heat (gas dryer): restricted venting, failed igniter, weak gas valve coils, bad radiant sensor, or a tripped thermal cut-off
• Dryer won’t start: door not latching, failed door switch, timer/control issue, or motor problem
• Drum won’t spin: broken belt, worn idler pulley, seized drum rollers, or a failing drive motor
• Takes too long to dry: clogged lint screen, crushed/long vent run, blocked exterior hood, or blower wheel issue
• Loud squealing/thumping: worn idler pulley, drum support rollers, or drum seals/bearings

• Clean the lint screen and confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood.
• Inspect the vent path for kinks, lint buildup, or a stuck damper.
• Run a timed dry cycle and listen for squeal, grinding, or a “motor hum” without drum movement.
• Confirm the door closes firmly and the latch engages.
• If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, stop using the dryer and have the gas supply and connections checked.

A Kenmore gas dryer that runs with poor airflow can overheat and repeatedly trip safety devices, which leads to longer dry times and more part failures. Fixing venting and lint buildup often restores normal drying and protects components like thermostats, the igniter, and the motor.

The cubic foot capacity for Kenmore gas dryer model 1107012512 is typically in the 6.5 to 7.0 cu. ft. range for full-size Kenmore 110-series dryers. For the exact capacity rating for your specific unit, confirm it in the 1107012512 owner's manual.

We recommend using one of these quick checks so you get the correct spec for your exact configuration.

• Look in the specifications section of the 1107012512 owner's manual
• Check the model and serial tag (usually on the door opening or door frame) for any capacity notes
• Compare your drum size to typical full-size dryer capacity ranges (below)
• If you are shopping for replacement parts, match by model number first, then part ID

Capacity affects how much laundry you can dry per load and how well the dryer tumbles clothes for even drying. Overloading a drum can increase dry time and strain wear parts like the belt and idler.

If loads are taking longer to dry, we recommend checking airflow and drum movement:

• Clean the lint screen every load (replace if damaged)
• Confirm the vent duct is clear and not crushed
• Listen for squealing or thumping that can indicate drum support wear
• If the drum is not turning smoothly, inspect wear items such as the belt 341241 and idler pulley
