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.

How to confirm you’re buying the correct belt

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

Belt vs. blower belt (common mix-up)

What you’re replacing	What it drives	Typical symptom when broken	Example part for this model
Drum belt	Drum rotation	Drum won’t turn; motor may run	WP8547157
Blower belt	Blower wheel (airflow)	Poor airflow; long dry times	WP8544742

When a “new belt” isn’t the only fix

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)

Why it matters

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.

Where to look on Kenmore 11068102310

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)

What the label usually shows

The rating label typically includes:

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

Quick checklist to confirm you have the right number

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)

What you see	What it means	Why we use it
Model number	Identifies the exact dryer design	Ensures diagrams and parts match
Serial number	Identifies your specific unit	Helps confirm version changes

Why it matters

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.

What you can do first (model-safe basics)

• 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.

If the dryer still will not start

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.

Parts to consider if a check points to a failure

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

Symptom you see	Part to check	Why it matters
Door won’t stay shut or start is intermittent	Dryer door catch WPW10111905	Helps the door latch so the door switch can allow operation.
Dryer won’t run after overheating symptoms	Dryer thermal fuse WP3390719	Safety device that opens if the dryer overheats.

Why it matters

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.

What usually makes up the total cost

• 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

DIY vs technician: what changes

Option	You typically pay for	Best when
DIY	Parts (and tools if needed)	You’re comfortable using a multimeter and opening the cabinet
Technician	Parts + labor + possible diagnostic fee	You want a confirmed diagnosis and warranty on labor

What to check before replacing the element (model 11068102310)

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

Why it matters

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.
