Kenmore 11073014101 gas dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label; on model 11073014101, it’s located at the top inside the dryer door well. Write down the full model number and serial number so we can match the correct parts, diagrams, and specifications.

Where to look on Kenmore model 11073014101

Check these common label locations in this order:

• Top inside the dryer door well (most common for this model)
• Inside the door opening around the frame
• Rear panel of the dryer cabinet
• Near the lint screen housing (varies by design)

For a picture and wording that matches this dryer, use the 11073014101 owner’s manual.

How to read the number (and why it matters)

Kenmore model numbers often start with a prefix that helps identify the platform. For many Kenmore dryers, 110 is a common prefix. The full number (like 11073014101) is what we use to ensure the right fit.

What to record

• Full model number (all digits)
• Serial number
• Purchase date (helpful for service history)

Quick check: model number vs. part number

Use this as a simple way to avoid ordering the wrong item.

You’re looking at	Example	Used for
Model number	11073014101	Finding correct parts list, diagrams, and manual
Part number / part ID	WP3390719	Ordering a specific replacement part
Serial number	(varies)	Production run details and service reference

Why it matters

Using the exact model number prevents mismatches in key gas dryer components like the igniter, thermal fuse, door switch, and drum support parts. Even small design changes across similar Kenmore dryers can change which belt, thermostat, or timer fits.

On the Kenmore 11073014101 gas dryer, we open the control panel (console) by removing the mounting screws, then lifting the console up and back to release it so you can access the timer/control area and wiring. Follow the console removal steps in the 11073014101 installation guide.

Before you start (safety and prep)

• Unplug the dryer from the grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Turn the cycle selector to OFF.
• If you need to move the dryer, protect the floor and avoid grabbing the console when repositioning.
• Keep a small container for screws.
• Take a quick photo of wire connections before disconnecting anything.

Steps to open the control panel

1. Access the console fasteners. On most Kenmore 110-series consoles, the screws are at the back of the console or under end caps (depending on console style).
2. Remove the screws (commonly 1/4-inch hex-head).
3. Lift the back of the console up, then pull it slightly forward or back (about an inch) to disengage the tabs.
4. Tilt the console forward to expose the wiring and components.
5. If you need the console fully off, disconnect the harness plugs (do not pull on wires).

What you can access once it’s open

Area you’re checking	What you’ll see	Common reason to open the console
Start circuit	Push-to-start switch wiring	Dryer will not start or starts intermittently
Door circuit	Door switch leads	Dryer stops when door is bumped
Timer/control	Timer connections	No heat or cycle issues (varies by model)

Why it matters

Opening the control panel correctly prevents broken plastic tabs, pinched wires, and loose connections that can cause a no-start condition even when the dryer has power.

If the dryer will not start after reassembly

• Confirm the dryer is plugged in and power is on.
• Make sure the door is fully closed; a failed door switch can stop the dryer.
• Check the house fuse(s) or breaker(s) (many dryers use two).
• Inspect the door switch; the dryer door switch WP3406107 is a common no-start part.

Common problems we see on the Kenmore 11073014101 gas dryer include no heat, long dry times, the drum not turning, and unusual noises. Most of these issues trace back to airflow restrictions (lint and venting), a failed safety device (thermal fuse or thermostat), or normal wear parts (belt, rollers, idler pulley).

Most common symptoms and likely causes

• Dryer will not start: door not fully closed, power supply issue, failed door switch
• No heat: gas supply valve closed, airflow restriction, failed igniter or gas valve coils, failed thermostat
• Long drying times: clogged lint screen, crushed/kinked vent, dirty vent system, improper vent material
• Drum not turning: broken belt, worn drum rollers, failed idler pulley, motor problem
• Loud thumping/squealing: worn drum support rollers, worn idler pulley, belt wear

Quick checks we recommend first (fast, high-impact)

1. Clean the lint screen and confirm strong airflow at the outside exhaust hood.
2. Verify the dryer is level; poor leveling can affect sensor cycles and tumbling.
3. Confirm the gas shutoff valve on the supply line is fully open.
4. Inspect venting: use heavy metal venting, avoid plastic or foil, and keep flex vent fully extended.

Parts that commonly fix these problems on model 11073014101

Symptom	Common wear/safety part	What it does
Won’t start when door closes	Dryer door switch WP3406107	Proves the door is shut so the motor can run
Runs but stops, or won’t run after overheating	Dryer thermal fuse WP3390719	Safety cutoff if the dryer overheats
Squeals, drum hard to turn, poor tumbling	Dryer idler pulley 279640	Keeps proper tension on the drive belt
Thumping/rumbling noise	Support kit WPW10314173	Replaces drum support rollers that wear flat

Why venting and maintenance matter

Improper venting reduces airflow, which causes long dry times and overheating. Overheating can trip safety parts like the thermal fuse and can also create moisture and lint buildup indoors. Follow the venting and clearance guidance in the installation guide.

Where to confirm model-specific procedures

For troubleshooting steps like “dryer will not run,” “no heat,” and routine care (lint screen cleaning, keeping the area clear for combustion air), use the 11073014101 owner’s manual.

The Kenmore gas dryer model 11073014101 is a full-size dryer; most units in this style are about 27 to 29 inches wide, 27 to 30 inches deep, and 43 to 44 inches tall. For the exact cabinet dimensions and required clearances, use the 11073014101 installation guide.

Typical size vs. installation space (what to plan for)

Even when the cabinet size is standard, the space you need is usually larger because of venting, door swing, and service access.

• Plan for the door to open fully (especially in a closet or recessed install).
• Allow space behind the dryer for the exhaust vent and elbow.
• Add side clearance to reduce noise transfer and make servicing easier.
• If installing in a closet, provide required ventilation openings in the door.
• Follow local code requirements for garages, closets, and mobile homes.

Quick planning table

What you’re measuring	What to expect for this dryer type	Why it’s needed
Cabinet width	~27 to 29 in.	Fit through doorways and between walls
Cabinet depth	~27 to 30 in.	Cabinet fit before vent connection
Cabinet height	~43 to 44 in.	Clearance under shelves/cabinets
Space behind dryer	Minimum clearance for venting (often several inches)	Prevent crushed vent and poor airflow

How we recommend measuring your dryer

1. Measure the cabinet width at the widest point (left to right).
2. Measure height from floor to the top of the cabinet.
3. Measure depth from the back of the cabinet to the front (exclude the door handle if you want “cabinet-only” depth).
4. Add extra depth for the vent connection and elbow per the 11073014101 installation guide.

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents a kinked exhaust vent (slow drying and overheating risk), avoids clearance issues in closets, and helps you plan a safe gas dryer installation with proper airflow.
