Kenmore Elite 11087727702 dryer Parts

On the Kenmore Elite dryer model 11087727702, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label attached to the dryer cabinet. The most common spot is just inside the dryer door opening on the cabinet frame; check your 11087727702 owner's manual for the exact label location and what information it includes.

Where to look first

• Open the dryer door and look around the door opening on the cabinet frame.
• Check the inside edge of the door area where the door closes against the cabinet.
• If you do not see it there, inspect the back of the dryer near the top.
• Look for a sticker or metal tag that lists both model and serial numbers.

What the label typically shows (and why you want it)

The model and serial label usually includes the model number, serial number, and other identification details used for parts lookup and service.

Item on label	What it’s used for	Example
Model number	Ensures parts fit your exact dryer	11087727702
Serial number	Helps identify production series	Varies
Purchase info fields	Helps with records and service calls	Date/notes

Why it matters

Kenmore Elite dryers often share similar styling across multiple model families, but parts like the drive motor, heating element, thermistor, and drum support components can vary by model. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement part.

Quick tip for parts shopping

If you are troubleshooting noise, poor drying, or heat issues, having the model number ready helps us match common wear items faster, such as the dryer repair kit 4392067 or the dryer heating element WP8544771.

To reset a Kenmore Elite dryer model 11087727702, we power-cycle it and then clear the current cycle settings from the control panel. Unplug the dryer (or turn off the breaker) for 1 minute, restore power, then press STOP twice to end and clear the cycle before starting a new one (see the 11087727702 owner's manual).

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Unplug the dryer (or switch the circuit breaker off) for 1 minute.
• Restore power.
• Press STOP twice to stop the dryer and clear the settings.
• Select a new cycle.
• Press and hold START for about 3 seconds to begin.

If the controls seem “stuck” or locked

This model has a Control Locked feature that can make the panel look unresponsive.

• Press and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for 3 seconds to toggle Control Locked off.
• Confirm the door is fully closed.
• Press STOP twice, then reselect the cycle and press and hold START.

What “reset” does (and does not) do

Action	What it accomplishes	When to use it
Power-cycle (unplug 1 minute)	Reboots the electronic control	Glitches, frozen display, odd behavior
STOP twice	Ends the current cycle and clears settings	Wrong cycle selected, need to restart
Unlock controls (hold CYCLE SIGNAL 3 sec)	Restores button response	Control Locked light is on

Why it matters

A proper reset clears the active cycle logic and restores normal control response, which helps when the dryer will not start, will not change cycles, or the display is acting erratically.

On the Kenmore Elite dryer model 11087727702, CL means Control Locked. When the control lock is on, the dryer won’t respond to most button presses; the display can alternate between CL and the estimated time remaining. See the 11087727702 owner's manual for the exact unlock steps for your control panel.

What to do when you see CL

• Press and hold the Control Lock button (or the button labeled for control lock) until CL turns off.
• If your model uses a secondary function, press and hold the key shown in the control-lock instructions in the manual.
• Make sure you are not in a cycle state that limits changes (pause the cycle first if needed).
• If the dryer is running, try Pause/Cancel once, then unlock.
• If the door is open, close it fully and try unlocking again.

What CL affects (and what it doesn’t)

Control lock is designed to prevent accidental changes to cycle settings.

Dryer function	Typically works with CL on?	Notes
Starting or changing cycles	No	Most keys are disabled while locked
Powering the dryer off	Sometimes	Depends on how the lock is implemented
Cycle progress display	Yes	You may still see time remaining alternating with CL
Door opening	Yes	Door switch is mechanical, not a keypad function

Why it matters

A locked control panel can look like a failure (dead buttons or unresponsive controls), but it’s usually a normal feature. Unlocking restores normal operation without replacing parts.

If CL won’t clear after unlocking

• Unplug the dryer (or switch off the breaker) for 1 minute, then restore power and try again.
• Confirm the buttons are responding; a stuck key can make the lock act unpredictable.
• If the dryer also shows an error code, use Kenmore elite dryer error codes to identify the next checks.

The exact cubic-foot drum capacity for Kenmore Elite dryer model 11087727702 is listed in the product specifications section of the 11087727702 owner's manual. This model is part of the 110.8772# series (the # is the color code), and the manual is the correct source for the official capacity.

How to find the capacity in the manual

Look for a section labeled “Specifications,” “Product dimensions,” or “Features and benefits.” Capacity is usually shown as “drum capacity” or “capacity (cu. ft.).”

• Open the 11087727702 owner's manual
• Use the search function for: capacity, cu. ft., or drum
• Check for a “Model 110.8772#” specification table
• Match the capacity line to your exact model tag (inside the door opening)

Typical capacity range for this style of Kenmore Elite dryer

Most full-size Kenmore Elite 110-series electric dryers fall into a full-size capacity range. Use this only for comparison shopping until you confirm the exact number in the manual.

Dryer type	Typical drum capacity range
Compact dryer	3.4 to 4.4 cu. ft.
Full-size dryer (most 27-inch units)	6.0 to 7.4 cu. ft.
Extra-large full-size	7.5 cu. ft. and up

Why it matters

Drum capacity affects how well clothes tumble and how quickly moisture can be carried out by airflow. If loads take too long to dry, the most common cause is restricted venting or weak airflow, not drum size.

If you are also troubleshooting poor drying, inspect the lint screen and vent path; a damaged blower can also reduce airflow, and the dryer blower wheel WP697772 is one airflow-related part used on this model.
