Kenmore 11070902990 gas dryer Parts

Replacing a heating element in a Kenmore dryer typically costs $150 to $350 total (part plus labor). For Kenmore gas dryer model 11070902990, “no heat” problems are often caused by gas-heat parts (igniter, coils, sensors, fuses) rather than an electric heating element; use the 11070902990 owner's manual to confirm your heat type and checks.

• Service call / diagnostic: $75 to $125
• Labor (install): $75 to $200 (often 1 hour)
• Part cost:
• Electric dryer heating element: commonly $40 to $120
• Gas dryer heat components (common “no heat” fixes): commonly $10 to $60 each

These parts are common causes of “runs but won’t heat” on Kenmore gas dryers:

• Dryer thermal fuse WP3390719 (opens if the dryer overheats)
• Dryer valve coil kit 279834 (burner may light once, then stop heating)
• Igniter 279311 (no ignition)
• Lint screen and exhaust vent for restrictions (poor airflow can trip safety devices)
• Gas supply shutoff valve fully open and correct cycle/temperature selected

Pricing depends on whether you truly need an electric heating element or a gas-heat component. On gas models, replacing the wrong part wastes money; confirming the heat system and doing a quick airflow and safety check often points to the right repair.

For Kenmore 90 Series gas dryers like model 11070902990, the standard cabinet size is 27 inches wide; most units in this platform are roughly 38 inches tall and 29 to 31 inches deep (depth varies with the door and exhaust setup). For exact measurements for your unit, use the 11070902990 owner's manual.

Most Kenmore 90 Series 27-inch gas dryers fit the same footprint, which helps when replacing an older dryer or building a laundry alcove.

• Width: 27 inches (standard full-size)
• Height: about 38 inches
• Depth: about 29 to 31 inches
• Door swing clearance: plan extra space in front for loading
• Vent clearance: allow room so the vent is not crushed or kinked

Use these checks to avoid a tight fit:

• Verify the 27-inch platform in the 11070902990 owner's manual.
• Measure your current space at floor level and mid-cabinet height (walls are not always square).
• If you use an offset or periscope vent, include that depth in your measurement.
• Make sure the dryer can sit level; leveling affects final height slightly.

Correct sizing prevents installation problems like a kinked exhaust vent (poor airflow and longer dry times) and makes it easier to service common wear items such as drum support rollers and the idler pulley.

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the model and serial number plate. On Kenmore model 11070902990, you’ll use that plate to record the complete model and serial numbers for parts lookup, service, and manual-specific instructions (see the 11070902990 owner's manual).

Check these common locations on Kenmore dryers:

• Inside the dryer door opening on the cabinet frame
• On the back of the dryer cabinet near the top
• Along the door opening edge where the door closes
• Occasionally behind the lower access panel (if your design has one)

We recommend copying the information exactly as shown on the plate:

• Model number (example: 11070902990)
• Serial number
• Date of purchase (if listed or known)

The full model number ensures you get the correct Kenmore gas dryer parts (timer, igniter, thermal fuse, drum support rollers) and the right troubleshooting steps for your exact configuration.

Use this table to match what you see to what you need:

Try these practical steps:

• Wipe the plate gently with a damp cloth to remove lint and residue
• Use your phone camera and zoom in to read faded print
• Shine a flashlight across the plate at an angle to highlight embossed characters

For Kenmore gas dryer model 11070902990, the most common reasons it will not dry are restricted airflow (clogged lint screen or vent), incorrect cycle or temperature selection (cool down or air setting), or a gas-heat failure such as weak valve coils, a bad igniter, or a blown thermal fuse. See the 11070902990 owner's manual for cycle and troubleshooting details.

• Clean the lint screen before every load; confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood.
• Make sure the exhaust vent is not crushed, kinked, or packed with lint.
• Verify you are not on an air-only setting; confirm the timer is on a drying cycle.
• Avoid overloading; overcrowding causes uneven drying and longer dry times.
• On Auto Moisture Sensing cycles, remember the dryer may switch to low heat, then tumble with no heat during cool down.

Restricted air movement keeps moist air trapped in the drum, so clothes stay damp even if the burner is working.

If airflow is good and the dryer tumbles normally, focus on the heat circuit.

• Intermittent heat: replace the dryer valve coil kit 279834.
• No ignition: check the igniter 279311 and the flame sensing circuit.
• No heat with good airflow: test and replace the dryer thermal fuse WP3390719 if open (also correct the vent restriction that caused overheating).

A clogged vent or failed safety device can stop drying performance and can also overheat the dryer. Restoring proper airflow and correct cycle settings protects the burner system, drum seals, and clothing.
