Kenmore 11062702100 electric dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the model and serial number plate; for Kenmore model 11062702100, that plate is typically on the dryer cabinet (often just inside the door opening) or on the back of the dryer near the top. Use the full model and serial numbers when ordering parts or requesting service.

Where to look for the model number plate

Check these common locations first:

• Inside the door opening on the cabinet frame
• On the back panel near the top edge
• Along the door opening area where the door closes against the cabinet
• Near the lint screen housing area (some designs place labels nearby)

For the exact label location and how it’s shown for your series, use the 11062702100 owner's manual.

What to write down (and why)

Record both numbers exactly as shown:

• Model number (example: 11062702100)
• Serial number (unique to your dryer)
• Date of purchase (helpful for maintenance history)

Why it matters

The model number identifies the correct design version of your Kenmore electric dryer so we can match the right parts and diagrams. The serial number helps narrow down production changes that can affect fit.

Quick ID checklist

Item	What it tells us	Used for
Model number	Exact dryer design	Correct parts lookup
Serial number	Production run details	Version-specific fit
Type (electric)	Power and heating style	Correct troubleshooting and parts

Tip for parts ordering

Once you confirm the model number, match common wear items by model, such as the dryer drum belt 341241, to avoid ordering a similar-looking part that fits a different Kenmore series.

On Kenmore electric dryer model 11062702100, replacing the thermal fuse means unplugging the dryer, accessing the heating/airflow housing from the rear, swapping the fuse (or thermal cut-off) onto the same mounting spot, reconnecting the wires, and reassembling the back panel; then restore power and test heat.

Safety first

• Unplug the dryer or disconnect power at the breaker before opening any panels.
• If the dryer is hardwired, shut off the correct circuit(s) and verify power is off.
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; cabinet edges can be sharp.

Replacement steps (typical for this Kenmore design)

1. Disconnect power and pull the dryer out far enough to work behind it.
2. Remove the rear panel screws and take off the rear panel.
3. Locate the thermal safety device on the heater/airflow housing (commonly near the heating element duct).
4. Take a photo of the wire positions, then pull the wire connectors straight off the terminals.
5. Remove the mounting screw(s), transfer the new part into the same position, and reinstall the screw(s).
6. Push the wires fully onto the new terminals.
7. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a timed high-heat cycle to confirm heat.

Which part is it on this model?

On model 11062702100, the thermal safety device is often serviced as a kit rather than a single fuse. Use this quick guide:

Symptom	Common thermal-related suspect	Example part for this model
Dryer runs but no heat	Thermal cut-off (heater housing)	Dryer thermal cut-off fuse kit 279816
Dryer overheats or cycles too hot	High-limit thermostat	Dryer high-limit thermostat WP3977767

Fix the cause so it does not blow again

A thermal fuse or cut-off usually opens because airflow is restricted. We recommend:

• Clean the lint screen before every load.
• Check the vent path for crushing or kinks; the manual specifically calls out avoiding a crushed or kinked vent.
• Confirm strong airflow at the outside exhaust hood.
• Remove accumulated lint from inside the cabinet and the exhaust vent about every 2 years (more often with heavy use).

Why it matters

The thermal fuse (or thermal cut-off) is a safety device; bypassing it can create an overheating hazard. Restoring proper venting and lint control helps the dryer heat correctly and protects the heating element and thermostats.

For panel removal details and operating checks (including verifying heat after 5 minutes), follow the 11062702100 owner's manual.

The Kenmore electric dryer model 11062702100 is a 29-inch wide dryer. For planning space, most 29-inch Kenmore/Whirlpool-built dryers are about 29 inches wide, 38 inches tall, and 31 to 32 inches deep, plus extra room behind for the vent elbow; confirm your exact dimensions in the 11062702100 owner's manual.

Dimensions and space planning

Use these common measurements to plan a laundry alcove or closet, then fine-tune with the manual’s diagram.

• Width: 29 in. (model-specific)
• Height: typically about 38 in.
• Depth (cabinet): typically about 31 to 32 in.
• Door swing: allow room to fully open the door
• Rear clearance: plan at least 5 1/2 in. behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with an elbow (common installation requirement)

Quick reference table

What you’re measuring	What to expect for 11062702100	What to add for install
Cabinet width	29 in.	0 in.
Cabinet height	Typical 38 in.	0 in.
Cabinet depth	Typical 31 to 32 in.	Add space for venting
Behind-dryer clearance	Not part of cabinet size	5 1/2 in. minimum (typical)

Why it matters

Correct sizing prevents crushed venting, poor airflow, longer dry times, and overheating. Leaving proper clearance also makes it easier to level the dryer and service parts like the drum belt, blower wheel, and heating system.

Tips before you measure

• Measure the cabinet (not the door handle or knobs).
• Measure the space (wall to wall, floor to shelf) and compare.
• Plan for the power cord and vent path so the dryer can sit back without kinking the duct.
• If the dryer is noisy or hard to push back, check leveling and rear clearance in the 11062702100 owner's manual.
