Kenmore 11087273100 gas dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the appliance’s ID label; for Kenmore gas dryers like model 11087273100, it’s most often found around the door opening or on the cabinet frame. Once you have the full model number, we can match the correct parts and diagrams.

Check these common spots first (use a flashlight and wipe dust off the label):

• Inside the dryer door opening on the front frame (most common)
• On the back panel of the dryer cabinet
• On the side panel near the bottom edge
• Behind the lint screen housing area (varies by design)
• On the door itself (less common)

Kenmore model numbers are usually a long string of digits. For this dryer, the model number is 11087273100.

Write down:

• The full model number (all digits, no spaces)
• The serial number (helps with production date and revisions)
• Any suffixes or extra characters if shown

Parts can change within the same Kenmore series, so using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong drum belt, thermal fuse, door seal, or igniter-related parts.

If you’re trying to identify the model because the dryer is showing a code or acting up, use our error code reference to narrow the problem before buying parts: Kenmore 110 series electronic control model dryer error codes.

The most common problems we see on Kenmore gas dryer model 11087273100 are no heat or poor heat, long dry times from restricted airflow, won’t start issues tied to safety switches/fuse, and noise or no tumble from belt and pulley wear.

• Takes too long to dry: clogged venting, lint buildup in the lint chute or blower, weak airflow
• No heat: burner ignition/sensing issue, airflow overheating condition, failed safety device
• Won’t start: door not closing fully, failed door switch, blown thermal fuse
• Loud squeal or thump: worn idler pulley, worn belt, blower wheel issue
• Runs but barely moves air: damaged or loose blower wheel, lint blockage

1. Confirm strong airflow outside at the vent hood.
2. Clean the lint screen and check for residue.
3. Make sure the door closes firmly and the strike lines up.
4. If the drum does not turn, stop using the dryer to prevent motor damage.

On gas dryers, restricted airflow is the root cause behind long dry times and many “no heat” complaints. Fixing venting and lint buildup first prevents repeat failures and protects key components.

A Kenmore gas dryer like model 11087273100 typically lasts 13 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Keeping airflow strong (lint screen and venting) and replacing wear items on time helps you reach that lifespan.

• Vent restriction and overheating (long vents, crushed flex duct, clogged lint path)
• Heavy loads and frequent high-heat cycles
• Worn drum support and drive parts (belt, idler pulley)
• Ignition and heat-sensing wear (gas models)
• Moisture and corrosion in the laundry area

• Clean the lint screen every load; wash it with mild soap if fabric softener residue builds up.
• Inspect and clean the vent run regularly; keep it short, smooth, and not kinked.
• Listen for squealing or thumping; address it early to prevent motor strain.
• If drying times increase, clean the lint chute and blower housing.

A dryer can seem “old” when the real issue is airflow or a single worn part. Preventing overheating protects the motor, gas burner components, and wiring, which are the expensive failures.
