How do you reset a Kenmore 11064672400 dryer?
To reset a Kenmore 11064672400 dryer, we power-cycle it: turn the cycle selector to OFF, unplug the dryer (or switch the breaker off), wait 1 to 5 minutes, then restore power and start a new cycle. Confirm normal operation using the 11064672400 owner's manual.
Reset steps (safe, quick)
- Turn the Cycle Selector Control to OFF.
- Unplug the dryer (or turn both dryer breakers off if it is hardwired).
- Wait 1 to 5 minutes.
- Restore power.
- Close the door firmly.
- Select a cycle and press PUSH TO START.
If it still will not start after a reset
A reset only clears a temporary control glitch; it will not fix a power, door, or start-circuit problem.
- Verify the outlet has power and the cord is fully seated.
- Check the home electrical panel; many dryers use two fuses or breakers.
- Make sure the door fully closes and latches.
- If the button does nothing, inspect the start switch and door switch.
Common parts related to “won’t start” symptoms
| Symptom | What to check first | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| No response when pressing start | Start switch, door switch | Dryer push-to-start switch WP3977456 |
| Starts only with door held shut | Door switch | Dryer door switch WP3406107 |
Why it matters
Power-cycling is the fastest way to clear a stuck control state. If the dryer still will not run, the manual’s troubleshooting checks (power supply, door closed, correct cycle selection) point you to the most likely cause before replacing parts.

How do I tell what model my Kenmore dryer is?
Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label; on model 11064672400, that label is located at the top inside the dryer door well. Once you have the full model number, we can match the correct parts, diagrams, and specifications.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these common Kenmore dryer locations in this order:
- Top inside the dryer door well (most common for this style; see the 11064672400 owner's manual)
- Inside the door opening on the cabinet frame
- On the back panel of the dryer
- Near the lint screen housing (varies by design)
What the model number looks like (and why it matters)
Kenmore model numbers are usually a long string of digits. For many Kenmore dryers, the first three digits (often 110) identify the manufacturing source, and the full number identifies the exact configuration.
Quick guide
| What you find | What it tells us | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Full model number (example: 11064672400) | Exact dryer version | Use it to select parts and troubleshooting steps |
| Serial number | Production run info | Keep it for service records |
| Only “110” or partial digits | Not enough to match parts | Recheck the label for the complete number |
Tips to record it correctly
Small differences matter when ordering parts like a belt, door switch, or heating element.
- Copy the model number exactly as printed (all digits)
- Write down the serial number too
- Take a clear photo of the label for reference
- Keep the info with your purchase records (the manual recommends recording it)
Why it matters
The correct model number ensures we recommend parts that fit your exact Kenmore dryer configuration, which helps avoid returns and speeds up repairs.

What does E1 on a Kenmore dryer mean?
On the Kenmore dryer model 11064672400, an E1 code points to a temperature-sensing problem, most commonly the thermistor (temperature sensor) circuit reading out of range. We use the troubleshooting steps in the 11064672400 owner's manual to confirm airflow, wiring, and sensor-related causes before replacing parts.
What to check first (fast, no parts)
- Unplug the dryer for 1 minute, then restore power and retry the cycle.
- Clean the lint screen and confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood.
- Check the vent path for crushing, kinks, or heavy lint buildup.
- Make sure the dryer door closes firmly (a door switch issue can interrupt operation).
- If the code returns quickly, plan on electrical checks of the sensor circuit.
Likely causes and what they look like
| Likely cause | Common symptoms | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Restricted exhaust airflow | Long dry times, very hot cabinet, repeated shutdowns | Clean/repair venting, confirm airflow |
| Failed temperature sensor (thermistor) or wiring | E1 returns early in cycle, heat seems erratic | Inspect harness, replace sensor if failed |
| Overheating protection opened | No heat or stops mid-cycle after overheating | Correct airflow issue; test safety devices |
Parts that are often involved
If you confirm overheating or temperature control problems, these model-compatible parts are commonly used during repair:
- Dryer thermal cut-off fuse kit 279816 (overheat protection components)
- Dryer operating thermostat WP3387134 (regulates normal operating temperature)
- Dryer high-limit thermostat WP3977767 (backup safety limit)
Why it matters
An E1 condition is often triggered by poor airflow or a failing temperature-sensing circuit. Fixing venting first prevents repeat overheating, nuisance shutdowns, and damage to heating and safety components.
