Kenmore 11068102310 27" electric dryer Parts

For Kenmore model 11068102310, the compatible drum belt is Dryer drum belt WP8547157. Belt “size” varies by model family, so the most reliable way to get the right length and rib profile is to match the belt to your exact model number and follow the routing shown in the 11068102310 use & care manual.

Use these quick checks before ordering:

• Match the dryer’s model number exactly: 11068102310
• Confirm the part is listed as a drum belt (not a blower belt)
• Compare the old belt markings (if readable) to the replacement part ID
• Inspect the idler pulley and drum rollers; worn parts can shred a new belt
• Verify belt routing and tensioner position during reassembly

If the dryer squeals, thumps, or the belt keeps slipping, we recommend checking these wear items at the same time:

• Dryer idler pulley WPW10547292 (keeps belt tension)
• Drum support rollers (worn rollers can cause noise and drag)
• Lint buildup and vent restriction (overheating can shorten belt life)

Using the correct belt for 11068102310 helps the drum maintain proper speed and tension. The wrong belt can slip, break early, or strain the motor and idler system.

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. For Kenmore model 11068102310, you’ll typically find that label on the door opening (door jamb) or on the cabinet frame near the door; some units also place it on the back panel near the top. See the 11068102310 use & care manual for model-identification and safety details.

Check these common spots first:

• Inside the dryer door opening on the cabinet frame (door jamb)
• Around the front opening behind the door
• On the back of the dryer cabinet near the top
• Near the lower front area behind the toe panel (if equipped)

The rating label typically includes:

• Model number (example: 11068102310)
• Serial number
• Electrical requirements (important for a 27" electric dryer)
• Manufacturer information

Use this to avoid mixing up similar Kenmore models:

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (all digits)
• Double-check for extra characters or spaces
• Record the serial number too (helps with production date and revisions)

Kenmore model numbers can look very similar, but small differences can change which parts fit (like a door switch, belt, or heating component). Using the exact model number helps us match the correct diagrams, troubleshooting steps, and compatible replacement parts.

Kenmore dryer model 11068102310 does not have a single, manufacturer-listed “reset button” in the use & care information. If the dryer is acting up, we typically start by canceling the cycle and then troubleshooting the specific symptom using the 11068102310 use & care manual.

• Press POWER to turn the dryer off.
• Wait a few seconds.
• Close the door firmly.
• Select a new cycle.
• Press and hold START/PAUSE until the drum starts.

For this 27" electric dryer, a “reset” usually will not fix a true no-start condition. These checks match common causes listed in the troubleshooting guidance:

• Power supply: electric dryers need a full 240-volt supply; a tripped breaker can leave the drum turning with no heat.
• Door not fully closed: the dryer will not run if the door switch is not made.
• Airflow restriction/overheating: restricted venting can lead to overheating and safety shutdowns.
• Control not in a running state: confirm a cycle is selected before starting.

If your troubleshooting indicates a component problem, these are common model-matched items:

Calling it a “reset” can hide the real issue. On the 11068102310, most repeat problems trace back to power supply, door-latch/door-switch operation, or venting that causes overheating.

For Kenmore electric dryer model 11068102310, we can’t quote an exact replacement cost from the model-specific information available because pricing varies by seller, location, and whether you hire service. In general, your total cost is the heating element price plus any labor and diagnostic fees.

• Heating element: the replacement part itself (for this model, see dryer heating element WP8544771)
• Labor: time to disassemble the dryer, replace the element, and reassemble
• Diagnostic/service call: sometimes charged even if you proceed with the repair
• Related safety parts (only if testing shows they’re open):
  • Dryer thermal fuse WP3390719
  • Dryer thermal cut-off fuse kit 279973

A “no heat” complaint is not always a bad element. We recommend:

• Confirming the dryer has full 240V power (it can run on 120V but not heat)
• Checking airflow: clean lint screen and verify the vent is not restricted
• Testing the element and safety devices with a meter (unplug dryer first)
• Inspecting the element coil for a visible break

If airflow is restricted, the dryer can overheat and open the thermal cut-off or thermal fuse; replacing only the heating element can lead to repeat failures. Use the venting requirements in the 11068102310 installation guide to help prevent overheating.
