Kenmore 11079133413 gas dryer Parts

If you’re on the Kenmore dryer parts page for model 11079133413, then your dryer model is Kenmore 11079133413. To confirm on the appliance itself, match the full model number from the dryer’s model/serial label to the number shown in the 11079133413 owner's manual.

Where to find the model number label

We typically see the Kenmore dryer model/serial label in one of these spots:

• Inside the dryer door opening (on the cabinet frame)
• On the back panel of the dryer
• Near the lint screen housing (depending on the console and top design)
• On the inside of the front panel (less common)

How to read the number you find

Kenmore model numbers are usually a long string of digits. For parts lookup, we recommend using the entire model number exactly as printed.

• Use all digits (no spaces)
• Keep leading zeros if they appear
• If there’s a dot (example: 110.XXXX), include it when searching, but the core identifier is still the full model number

Quick check table

What you see on the label	What it means for parts	What to do
11079133413	Exact match	Use this model number for diagrams and parts
110.79133413 (with a dot)	Same model family format	Enter the full number; include the dot if the search asks
A different 110xxxxxxxx	Same Kenmore prefix, different model	Use the exact label number, not the series

Why it matters

The model number controls which parts fit your exact gas dryer configuration (door style, drum size, burner setup, and control type). Using the exact model number helps avoid ordering the wrong belt, thermal fuse, or gas ignition parts.

A Kenmore gas dryer like model 11079133413 typically lasts 13 years with normal household use. Regular lint cleaning, proper venting, and replacing wear parts (belt, rollers, thermal fuse) on time are the biggest factors in reaching that lifespan.

What affects lifespan most

• Airflow and venting: restricted vents overheat the dryer and shorten component life.
• Load size: chronic overloading strains the motor, belt, and drum support system.
• Heat system health: weak ignition or cycling heat increases run time and wear.
• Maintenance: lint buildup raises temperatures and can blow safety fuses.
• Timely wear-part replacement: prevents secondary damage (for example, a seized roller can damage the belt).

Quick maintenance checklist

• Clean the lint screen every load; replace a damaged screen such as dryer lint screen (white) W10859086.
• Inspect and clean the exhaust duct periodically; keep the run short and free of kinks.
• If you hear thumping or squealing, plan to service drum support parts like dryer drum support roller WPW10314173 and the idler.
• If the dryer runs but won’t heat consistently, test the gas-heat components and safety devices.

Common “end-of-life” symptoms and what they usually mean

Symptom	Most common cause	Typical fix
Loud rumble/thump	Worn rollers or blower wheel	Replace rollers, inspect blower
Squeal	Idler pulley wear	Replace idler pulley
No heat	Ignition or gas valve coil issue	Test igniter and coils
Stops mid-cycle	Overheat, blown fuse	Restore airflow, replace fuse

Why it matters

A dryer that is overheating or running longer than normal wears out faster and can repeatedly trip safety parts like the thermal fuse. Following the maintenance steps in the 11079133413 owner’s manual helps keep drying times normal and extends the life of the motor, burner, and controls.

For Kenmore gas dryer model 11079133413, the most commonly replaced parts are wear items (belt, rollers, idler) and heat-safety/ignition parts (thermal fuse, gas valve coils, igniter). These parts address the most frequent complaints: noise, no-heat, and no-start.

Most common replacement parts (and what they fix)

• Belt-4 rib, W10849499: drum won’t tumble, burning rubber smell, drum turns by hand too easily.
• Dryer drum support roller WPW10314173: thumping, rumbling, flat spots, drum drag.
• Dryer idler pulley W10837240: squealing, belt slipping, intermittent tumbling.
• Thermal fuse W10909685: dryer won’t start or stops; often caused by restricted venting.
• Dryer valve coil kit 279834: heats at first then quits heating, or intermittent heat.
• Igniter 279311: no heat; burner never lights.

A smart “noise and tumble” bundle

If you’re opening the cabinet for a belt or noise issue, many customers replace multiple wear parts together to avoid repeat tear-down.

Repair goal	Parts that commonly go together
Restore tumbling	Belt + idler pulley
Stop thumping/rumble	Rollers (and inspect shafts, blower wheel)
Full refresh	Dryer repair kit 4392065 (common wear items in one kit)

How to choose the right part for your symptom

• No start: check door closure and airflow-related overheating; test the thermal fuse first.
• Runs but no heat: focus on igniter, radiant sensor, and gas valve coils.
• Long dry times: fix venting first, then check blower wheel and thermostats.
• Squeal or thump: rollers and idler are the top suspects.

Why it matters

Replacing the correct part the first time prevents repeat failures. For example, a blown thermal fuse often returns if the vent is still restricted. Use the wiring diagram and troubleshooting steps in the 11079133413 installation guide to confirm what to test before ordering.
