Sears 11077660100 gas dryer Parts

For Sears gas dryer model 11077660100, the model number is usually printed on a rating label on the door opening (door jamb) or on the cabinet frame just inside the door. If it is not there, check the back panel near the top.

Where to look first (fastest spots)

• Open the dryer door and check the frame just inside the opening
• Look along the door jamb area (where the door closes)
• Check the back of the dryer near the top edge
• Look on the side panel near the front (less common)
• On some gas dryers, check behind the lower front access panel

What the label looks like

Most dryers use a paper sticker or metal plate that lists:

• Model number (what we use to match parts)
• Serial number (helps identify production run)
• Type (gas or electric) and sometimes BTU rating

If the label is hard to read

1. Wipe dust off the label with a dry cloth.
2. Use your phone camera and zoom in; try different angles to reduce glare.
3. Write down the full model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers).

Why it matters

The model number is the key to getting the right drum belt, thermostat, door catch, and other parts for your exact dryer configuration. Even small model-number differences can change fit and wiring.

Common examples of parts that depend on the model number

Part type	Example part for this model	What it affects
Drum belt	Drum belt 341241	Drum turning and tumbling
Door latch	Door catch 279570	Door closing and start safety
Thermostat	Dryer thermostat WP694674	Heat control and cycling

On the Sears gas dryer model 11077660100, the most common part failures show up as no heat, no tumble, long dry times, or loud squealing/thumping. In most cases, the root cause is a worn drive system part (belt or pulley), an airflow restriction, or a failed temperature control component.

Most common failures and what you’ll notice

• Drum won’t turn: broken belt, seized drum support, or a stuck idler pulley
• Dryer runs but won’t heat: gas ignition/heating circuit issue (often safety or temperature control related)
• Takes too long to dry: restricted venting, lint buildup, or a damaged blower wheel
• Loud noise (squeal, rumble, thump): worn supports/bearings, loose blower wheel, or belt wear
• Won’t start: door switch/latch issue, motor problem, or power supply issue

Model-matched parts that commonly fail

These are frequently replaced wear items for model 11077660100:

Symptom	Likely wear part	Example from this model’s parts
Drum not turning	Belt	Drum belt 341241
Squealing or intermittent tumbling	Idler pulley	Pulley WP691366
Poor airflow, rattling, or vibration	Blower wheel	Dryer blower wheel WP694089
Overheating or cycling issues	Thermostat	Dryer thermostat WP694674

Quick checks we recommend before buying parts

• Clean the lint screen every load and check the lint chute area for buildup.
• Verify strong airflow at the outside vent hood while the dryer runs.
• Inspect the vent duct for kinks, crushing, long runs, or heavy lint.
• Listen for changes: squeal (pulley/belt), rumble (supports/bearings), rattle (blower wheel).
• Stop using the dryer if you smell gas, then have the gas supply and burner system checked.

Why it matters

A worn belt or pulley can stop the drum and strain the motor; restricted airflow can cause overheating, shutdowns, and longer dry times. Catching these failures early helps protect major components and keeps drying performance consistent.

Inside your Sears gas dryer model 11077660100, the “things” are typically called dryer components or dryer parts. The main groups are the airflow system (blower and venting), the drive system (motor, belt, drum), the heating system (gas burner and thermostats), and the controls (timer and switches).

Major parts you will hear technicians name

• Drum: the rotating cylinder that tumbles clothes
• Drive motor: turns the drum and blower
• Drum belt and idler pulley: transfer motor power to the drum and keep belt tension
• Blower wheel and lint path: move air through the drum and out the vent
• Heating system (gas): burner assembly and safety controls that create heat
• Thermostats/thermal safety: regulate temperature and prevent overheating
• Door switch and start switch: allow safe operation and start the cycle
• Timer/control: sets cycle time and functions

Common “inside parts” customers replace

If the dryer squeals, thumps, won’t tumble, or has weak airflow, these are frequent service parts:

• Drum belt 341241 (broken belt, drum will not turn)
• Pulley WP691366 (squealing, belt slipping, poor tumbling)
• Dryer blower wheel WP694089 (rattling, weak airflow, long dry times)
• Dryer thermostat WP694674 (overheating or temperature issues)

Quick terminology guide

What you call it	What it usually means	Where it is
“Fan”	Blower wheel	In the blower housing near the motor
“Belt”	Drum belt	Wrapped around the drum
“Lint trap”	Lint screen and housing	At the lint screen opening and duct
“Heat sensor”	Thermostat/thermal device	On the burner or exhaust duct

Why it matters

Using the right names helps you match symptoms to the correct system (heat, airflow, or drive). For example, long dry times are often airflow related, while a drum that won’t turn is usually a belt or motor issue.
