Kenmore 11064872401 dryer Parts

For Kenmore dryer model 11064872401, heating-element replacement cost is typically the price of the part plus labor. On this model, the Dryer Heating Element is commonly replaced as dryer heating element WP3387747; total cost usually lands around $150 to $350 when a technician does the repair.

• Part cost (DIY): commonly $50 to $120 for many Kenmore electric dryer elements
• Labor (service call + install): commonly $100 to $250
• Total (installed): commonly $150 to $350
• Extra parts sometimes needed: thermal cut-off, wiring kit, or a maintenance kit if wear is found

If your dryer overheated or airflow was restricted, we often see additional parts fail soon after the element. For model 11064872401, common companion parts include:

• Cut-off kit 279769 (thermal cut-off kit)
• Dryer heating element wire kit 279457 (burned or brittle terminals)
• Dryer repair kit 4392067 (belt, rollers, idler components if the dryer is already opened)

The total cost changes based on what caused the element to fail and how much disassembly is required.

• Airflow problems (clogged venting, lint buildup) can overheat the heater circuit
• Electrical damage (loose or overheated wire terminals) can require a wire kit
• Wear items (rollers, idler pulley) can add cost but reduce future breakdowns

We recommend confirming the dryer is getting proper power and airflow, then following the model-specific disassembly steps in the owner's manual.

• Unplug the dryer (or switch off the breaker) before servicing
• Clean the lint screen and check the exhaust path for restrictions
• Inspect heater wiring for discoloration or melted connectors
• If the dryer runs but does not heat, check the thermal cut-off components as well

You can order replacement parts for your Kenmore 11064872401 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

To hard reset your Kenmore dryer model 11064872401, disconnect power (unplug the cord or switch the breaker off) for about 1 to 5 minutes, then restore power and try starting a cycle again. This clears many temporary control and cycle glitches; see the owner's manual for normal stop and restart steps.

• Turn the cycle selector to OFF.
• Unplug the dryer (or switch the dryer breaker OFF).
• Wait 1 to 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Close the door firmly.
• Select a cycle and press PUSH TO START.

The manual troubleshooting for this style of Kenmore dryer focuses on power supply and door closure first.

• Confirm the power cord is fully plugged in.
• Check the home electrical supply; many dryers use two fuses or two breakers, and both must be on.
• Make sure the door is fully closed; a failed door switch can prevent starting.
• Clean the lint screen and keep the exhaust area clear to reduce overheating-related shutdowns.
• If the drum turns hard or squeals, inspect common wear items (rollers and idler) because drag can cause poor starting and long dry times.

A hard reset is a fast first step, but most “dead” dryer complaints come down to power supply (both breakers/fuses), a door switch that is not closing the start circuit, or airflow and lint buildup that leads to overheating and shutdowns. Ordering the correct replacement part by model number helps avoid repeat failures; we list parts for 11064872401 on this page, and you can also search by model at Sears PartsDirect.

PF on a Kenmore dryer means power failure. On model 11064872401, it shows up after a brief outage or voltage drop; the dryer stops and you typically need to reselect a cycle and press Start to resume.

• Turn the Cycle Selector to OFF, then select your cycle again.
• Close the door fully and press PUSH TO START.
• If PF returns, unplug the dryer for 1 minute, then plug it back in.
• Avoid using an extension cord; plug the dryer directly into a properly grounded outlet.
• If the dryer will not start after PF, check the door is latching and the Start button is working.

A PF message is usually about the power supply, not a failed heating part.

If the dryer has power but will not run (or stops when you press Start), a switch or control component can be the cause.

• A failed door switch can make the dryer act like it lost power; see dryer door switch WP3406107.
• If the Start button does nothing, the Start switch can be suspect; see dryer push-to-start switch WP3977456.

PF is a helpful clue that the dryer detected an interruption. Resetting the cycle gets you running again, and checking power stability helps prevent nuisance stops and incomplete drying.

For control locations and normal start steps, use the owner's manual. If you need to order replacement parts for Kenmore 11064872401, you can use the parts list for this model or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
