Kenmore 11068712894 electric dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the model and serial number plate; on model 11068712894, you’ll typically find that label on the dryer cabinet (often just inside the door opening) or on the back near the top. Use that exact model number when ordering parts.

Check these common label locations first:

• Inside the door opening on the cabinet frame (most common)
• On the back of the dryer cabinet near the top
• Along the door opening edge where the door closes
• On the lower front area behind the toe panel (some designs)

The plate usually lists both a model number and a serial number. Record both in a safe place; the model number identifies the correct parts diagrams and compatible replacement parts, and the serial number helps match production variations.

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (all digits, no spaces)
• Use the full model number, not just “Kenmore 110”
• If the label is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in to confirm digits
• Match the appliance type; 11068712894 is a Kenmore electric dryer

Kenmore model numbers can look similar, but small differences change the correct drum belt, heating element, thermostat, or door switch. Using the exact model number helps us match the right parts the first time.

For more details on where the plate is located and how Kenmore documents it, see the 11068712894 owner's manual.

On the Kenmore electric dryer model 11068712894, the “filter” is the lint screen. It’s typically located either in the door opening (just inside the door) or on the top of the dryer cabinet near the door; you pull it straight up or out to remove lint.

We recommend using the diagrams and care instructions in the 11068712894 owner's manual to confirm the exact lint screen location and removal method for your console and door style.

Common places to check:

• Inside the door opening, along the lower edge of the opening
• On top of the dryer, near the right or left front corner
• In a lint screen housing/duct that the screen slides into (you will see a slot or cover)

Cleaning the lint screen every load helps airflow, drying performance, and temperature control.

• Pull the lint screen straight out (do not twist)
• Peel lint off with your fingers
• If fabric softener residue builds up, wash the screen with warm water and a soft brush, then dry it completely
• Reinstall the screen fully so it seats flat in the housing

A clean lint screen supports proper airflow through the blower housing and venting. Restricted airflow can cause longer dry times and overheating, which can lead to repeated thermal cutoffs. If you are troubleshooting heat issues after airflow problems, the cut-off kit 279816 is a common related repair item.

Kenmore electric dryer model 11068712894 is a 29-inch wide electric dryer (cabinet width). For the exact overall height, depth, and clearance requirements for your installation, use the dimension and installation sections in the 11068712894 owner's manual.

When customers ask about dryer size, it usually refers to one or more of these fit details:

• Cabinet width (this model family is 29-inch wide)
• Overall height (can change slightly with leveling legs)
• Overall depth (changes based on vent routing and elbow clearance)
• Required clearances (space needed for airflow and safe venting)
• Drum capacity (listed by cubic feet on some models and documents)

Use these steps so you get numbers that match your exact configuration:

• Check the dimensions/specifications section in the manual.
• Review the installation instructions for minimum clearances.
• Measure your space including the vent connection area behind the dryer.
• Plan room so the vent is not crushed or kinked after the dryer is pushed back.

Correct sizing prevents a tight installation that can kink the exhaust vent. Good airflow helps drying performance and protects key heating and temperature-control components such as the Dryer element 279838.
