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.

Hard reset steps (safe, standard method)

• 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.

If the reset does not fix it

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

Quick checks you can do in minutes

• 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.

Symptom after reset	Most common direction	Parts often involved on 1107012512
Dryer won’t start	Start/door/motor circuit checks	Drive motor 279827, belt, door switch (model-specific)
No heat	Burner ignition and airflow checks	igniter, gas valve, radiant sensor
Loud squeal	Drum support system wear	Belt 341241, dryer idler pulley WP691366

Why it matters

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.

Most common symptoms and likely causes

• 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

Quick checks we recommend first (before replacing parts)

• 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.

Parts that commonly fix these issues on model 1107012512

Symptom	Common part involved	Example part for this model
No tumble	Belt or idler pulley	Belt 341241, dryer idler pulley WP691366
Loud noise	Rollers/idler/bearing wear	Dryer repair kit 4392065
No heat (gas)	Ignition or safety sensing	Igniter 279311, dryer radiant sensor WP338906
Overheats or shuts off	Thermostat or thermal cut-off	Dryer operating thermostat WP3387134, cut-off kit 279769

Why it matters

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.

For model-specific operating tips and maintenance intervals, follow the 1107012512 owner’s manual.

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.

How to confirm the exact capacity for model 1107012512

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

Typical dryer capacity ranges (for context)

Dryer type	Typical capacity range
Compact dryer	3.4 to 4.4 cu. ft.
Full-size dryer (most Kenmore 110-series)	6.5 to 7.0 cu. ft.
Extra-large capacity	7.2 to 9.0 cu. ft.

Why it matters

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.

Related maintenance tip (helps drying performance)

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
