Kenmore 1107012510 gas dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the appliance’s model and serial tag; once you find it, match it exactly (for example, 1107012510) to get the right parts, diagrams, and specifications for your specific gas dryer.

Where to find the model number tag

On most Kenmore dryers, we see the model and serial tag in one of these common spots:

• Inside the dryer door opening (on the door frame)
• On the back panel of the dryer cabinet
• Near the lint screen housing (depending on the design)
• Behind the lower access panel (on some configurations)

How to read the number (and why it matters)

Kenmore model numbers often start with a prefix that helps identify the manufacturer family (for example, many Kenmore dryers begin with 110). The most important rule is to use the full model number exactly as shown on the tag when ordering parts or checking instructions.

Quick check table

What you’re doing	What to use	Example

Confirming venting and gas hookup requirements	Installation instructions	1107012510 installation guide

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

Before you search parts for your Kenmore dryer, we recommend:

• Copy the model number character-for-character (include all digits)
• Write down the serial number too (helpful for production variations)
• Use the model number to confirm your dryer type (gas vs. electric)
• If you’re replacing a wear item, verify the part by diagram location, not just by name

Why it matters

Kenmore dryers can look similar across multiple series, but parts like the drive belt, igniter, gas valve coils, and thermostats can vary by model. Using the exact model number ensures the correct fit, safe operation, and accurate troubleshooting steps.

If your Kenmore 1107012510 gas dryer runs but doesn’t heat, the most common causes are a closed gas shutoff valve, a tripped breaker or blown fuse feeding the dryer, or a failed ignition or safety component in the burner circuit. Use the checks below to pinpoint the issue.

Quick checks first (no tools)

• Confirm the cycle is a heated cycle (not Air Fluff or No Heat).
• Run the dryer for 5 minutes, then open the door and feel for heat (a standard startup check in the installation guide).
• Verify the gas supply line shutoff valve is fully open.
• Check the home breaker or fuse feeding the dryer; a power issue can prevent the burner from operating.
• Clean the lint screen and make sure airflow is strong at the outside vent hood.

Burner system parts that commonly cause “no heat”

On a gas dryer like model 1107012510, the drum can tumble normally even when the burner fails to ignite. These parts are frequent culprits:

• Igniter that doesn’t glow or doesn’t get hot enough to light gas
• Radiant sensor that doesn’t detect igniter heat
• Gas valve coils that open when cold but fail once warm
• High-limit thermostat or thermal cut-off that opens due to overheating or restricted venting

Model-matched parts we commonly use for these symptoms

Symptom	Likely area	Example model-matched part
No glow at burner	Ignition	Igniter 279311
Igniter glows, no flame	Flame sensing / gas valve actuation	Dryer radiant sensor WP338906 or dryer gas valve coil kit WPW10328463
Heats briefly, then stops	Coils overheating, airflow restriction	Dryer gas valve coil kit WPW10328463
Overheats or shuts heat off	Temperature safety	Dryer operating thermostat WP3387134

Why it matters

A gas dryer that won’t heat is often a simple supply or airflow problem, but repeated no-heat cycles can point to burner ignition parts or safety devices opening due to restricted venting. Fixing airflow and the correct failed component restores safe, consistent drying.

When to stop and get service

If the gas shutoff valve is open and you still have no heat after the 5-minute heat test, we recommend having a qualified technician diagnose the gas burner circuit (as outlined in the 1107012510 owner’s manual).

A Kenmore gas dryer like model 1107012510 typically lasts 13 years with normal household use. Good airflow (clean lint filter, proper venting) and timely replacement of wear parts like the belt and rollers are the biggest factors in reaching that lifespan.

What affects lifespan the most

• Airflow and venting: restricted venting overheats the dryer and shortens component life.
• Lint filter habits: clean the lint screen before every load.
• Load size: chronic overloading strains the drive motor and drum support system.
• Heat system condition: weak ignition or cycling issues increase run time and wear.
• Preventive maintenance: periodic lint removal inside the cabinet helps prevent overheating.

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

• Clean the lint screen before every cycle; replace a damaged screen with the dryer lint screen W11778253.
• Inspect and clean the exhaust duct; use a short, rigid metal vent path when possible.
• Listen for squealing or thumping; that often points to drum support wear.
• If the drum stops turning or slips, inspect the belt 341241 and idler pulley.
• If drying times increase, check airflow first before replacing heat parts.

Common wear parts and what they usually mean

Symptom	Most common wear area	Typical fix
Squealing, rumbling	Drum support rollers, idler	Install a roller and idler kit such as the dryer repair kit 4392065
Drum not turning	Belt, idler, motor	Replace belt, check idler and motor
Long dry times, hot cabinet	Vent restriction, thermostats	Clean venting, then test temperature controls

Why it matters

Most “short lifespan” complaints on gas dryers come from overheating due to poor venting and ignored drum support wear. Following the venting and safety guidance in the installation guide helps the dryer run cooler, dry faster, and last longer.
