What model Kenmore dryer do I have?
If you’re on the Kenmore dryer parts page for model 11064982301, your dryer’s model number is 11064982301. You can also confirm it on the model and serial number label located at the top inside the dryer door well (door opening area); see the 11064982301 owner’s manual.
Where to find the model number on your dryer
On Kenmore model 11064982301, we use the model and serial number label to confirm the exact model for parts and service.
Check these common locations:
- Top inside the dryer door well (most common for this model)
- Inside the door opening around the front panel area
- Back panel (some versions place an additional label there)
- Near the lint screen housing (less common, but possible)
How to read the label so you get the right parts
Write down the model number exactly as shown, including all digits.
- Model number: identifies the exact dryer design (what parts fit)
- Serial number: helps identify production details used for some part variations
- Purchase date: useful for your records and maintenance history
| What you’re looking for | Example for this page | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 11064982301 | Ensures correct Kenmore dryer parts match |
| Serial number | (varies) | Helps confirm version changes within a model |
| Location | Top inside dryer door well | Fastest way to verify the exact model |
Why it matters
Kenmore dryers can look similar across model families, but internal components like the heating system, drum support, and door switch can differ. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct heating element, drum support roller, timer, or door switch the first time.
Quick next steps after you confirm the model
- Compare the label to 11064982301 (all digits must match)
- Use the model number to select parts by symptom (no heat, won’t start, noisy)
- If you’re chasing a specific issue, start with the troubleshooting section in the 11064982301 owner’s manual

What is the average lifespan of 11064982301?
A Kenmore dryer like model 11064982301 typically lasts 13 years with normal household use and good airflow. Keeping the lint screen and venting clean, and fixing wear parts early, helps this dryer reach its full service life.
What affects lifespan most
- Vent restriction (long runs, crushed duct, lint buildup)
- Overloading the drum and running back-to-back cycles
- Heat stress from poor airflow (can shorten heater and thermostat life)
- Worn drum support parts (idler, rollers, seals)
- Moisture sensor issues that cause over-drying
Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)
- Clean the lint screen every load; wash it monthly to remove residue
- Inspect and clean the exhaust duct at least yearly
- Confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood
- Listen for squealing or thumping; address it before the belt system fails
- Use timed dry occasionally to verify heat and airflow performance
Common wear items and what they do
| Area | What wears | What you notice |
|---|---|---|
| Drum drive | Idler pulley, belt system | Squeal, drum not turning |
| Heating | Heating element, thermal cutoffs | No heat, overheating shutdown |
| Door/start | Door switch, push-to-start | Won’t start or stops when door moves |
Why it matters
A dryer that runs with restricted airflow often takes longer to dry and runs hotter; that combination increases energy use and accelerates failure of heating and safety components. For model-specific care and operating tips, use the 11064982301 owner's manual.

What replacement parts are most commonly needed for the 11064982301?
For Kenmore dryer model 11064982301, the most commonly replaced parts are the heating and safety components, drum drive wear parts, and start/door electrical switches. These parts address the most frequent symptoms: no heat, long dry times, squealing, and no-start.
Most common replacement parts for this model
- Heating system: dryer heating element WP3387747
- Overheat protection: cut-off kit 279769
- Drum drive wear: dryer idler pulley 279640
- Motor and drum drive (less common but important): drive motor 279787
- No-start/door issues: dryer door switch WP3406107
- Start button problems: dryer push-to-start switch WP3977456
- Air movement: dryer blower wheel WP697772
Match the part to the symptom
| Symptom | Most likely parts to check first |
|---|---|
| Dryer won’t heat | Heating element, cut-off kit |
| Dryer runs but takes too long | Blower wheel, venting, lint ducting |
| Loud squeal or drum hard to turn | Idler pulley (and belt system) |
| Dryer won’t start | Door switch, push-to-start switch |
Before you order: 5-minute checks
- Confirm the cycle and temperature settings are correct
- Clean the lint screen and check airflow at the outside vent
- Listen for motor hum (points to a drive or start circuit issue)
- Check if the drum turns freely by hand (with power off)
- Use the wiring diagram and troubleshooting steps in the 11064982301 owner's manual
Why it matters
Replacing the correct wear part restores safe heat, proper airflow, and normal drum movement; that prevents repeat failures (especially overheating-related cutoffs). If you are doing a drum-drive refresh, a bundled option like a dryer repair kit can also be a good fit for this style of dryer.
