Kenmore 11074812200 gas dryer Parts

The Kenmore gas dryer model 11074812200 is a full-size dryer; most installations for this style allow for a standard 27-inch class cabinet, plus required space for the exhaust vent and door swing. For the exact cabinet and clearance dimensions, use the 11074812200 installation guide.

Dimensions and clearances to plan for

When you measure your laundry space, plan for both the dryer cabinet and the installation clearances called out in the guide.

• Measure width, depth, and height of the cabinet area.
• Leave minimum 5 1/2 in. clearance behind the dryer for the exhaust vent with an elbow (common requirement).
• Confirm the door style (side-swing or hamper door) so the door can open fully.
• Add about 1 in. on all sides when possible to reduce noise transfer.
• For closet installs, allow for required ventilation openings in the door.

Quick planning table (what to measure)

What you’re checking	What to look for	Why it matters
Cabinet footprint	Width, depth, height	Ensures the dryer physically fits
Rear clearance	Space for vent and elbow	Prevents crushed venting and poor airflow
Door swing	Full door opening space	Makes loading and servicing possible
Closet ventilation	Top and bottom openings	Helps prevent overheating and long dry times

Why it matters

Correct sizing is not just about “will it fit”; it also protects drying performance and safety. A tight install can kink the vent, restrict airflow, increase drying time, and contribute to overheating.

Related tip for this model

If you’re also planning accessories, the manual discusses dryer rack use for 27 in. wide and 29 in. wide dryer platforms; that’s another clue this model family is in the standard full-size range. For operating details, see the 11074812200 owner’s manual.

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the model and serial number label; on model 11074812200, it’s located at the top inside the dryer door well. Once you have that full number, we can match the correct parts, diagrams, and specifications.

Where to look on Kenmore dryers

Check these common label locations (start with the door opening):

• Top inside the dryer door well (most common on Kenmore 110-series dryers)
• Inside the door opening on the front panel
• On the rear panel of the cabinet
• Behind or near the lint screen housing (varies by design)

What the model number looks like (and why it matters)

Kenmore model numbers are usually 10 to 12 characters. For this dryer, the full model is 11074812200. Using the complete model number helps us ensure you get the right fit for parts like a belt, door switch, thermostat, or gas burner components.

What you find	Example	What we use it for
Model number	11074812200	Correct parts list and diagrams
Serial number	(varies)	Production details for service
Purchase date	(your record)	Warranty and ownership records

Tips to record it correctly

Small character mistakes can point to the wrong parts list, so we recommend:

• Copy the model number exactly as printed (no spaces)
• Take a clear photo of the label before it fades
• Write down the serial number too for service reference
• Use the model number when ordering common wear items like the dryer drum belt 341241

Why it matters

Kenmore dryers share similar styling across many series, but internal components can differ. The correct model number is the fastest way to match compatible replacement parts and avoid returns.

For label location and product record details, see the 11074812200 owner’s manual.

On the Kenmore gas dryer model 11074812200, the most common part failures show up as no heat, no tumble, long dry times, or the dryer shutting off mid-cycle. In most cases, the root cause is a worn drive component, a failed heat-safety device, or restricted airflow; confirm your model’s checks in the 11074812200 owner's manual.

Most common failures and what you’ll notice

• Drum not turning: broken belt, worn idler pulley, or a failing motor
• Runs but no heat: weak gas valve coils, failed igniter, or a bad radiant sensor
• Overheats or stops early: high-limit thermostat opening due to poor venting or a failing thermostat
• Long dry times: lint screen residue buildup, crushed vent, or a blower wheel issue
• Won’t start: door switch not closing, timer problem, or motor issue

Parts that commonly fix these symptoms (for this model)

These are frequently replaced on Kenmore 11074812200 gas dryers:

Symptom	Likely part	Example part for this model
Drum won’t tumble	Belt or idler pulley	Dryer drum belt 341241, idler pulley WP691366
No heat after it starts	Gas valve coils or igniter	Dryer valve coil kit 279834, whirlpool dryer burner igniter kit 279311
Stops from overheating	High-limit thermostat	Dryer high-limit thermostat W11050897
Won’t start when door closes	Door switch	Dryer door switch WP3406107
Loud rumble or poor airflow	Blower wheel	Dryer blower wheel WP694089

Quick checks we recommend before ordering parts

• Clean the lint screen; if you use dryer sheets, scrub residue off with hot water and a nylon brush (per the manual’s dryer care guidance).
• Verify strong airflow at the outside vent hood; weak airflow points to a vent restriction.
• If it is a gas model that tumbles but won’t heat, watch for ignition: no glow or no flame often points to igniter, coils, or sensor.
• If it shuts off mid-cycle, correct venting first; overheating can repeatedly trip safety devices.

Why it matters

A restricted vent can mimic failed thermostats and fuses, and it can also cause overheating. Fixing airflow first prevents repeat failures and helps the dryer dry faster and more efficiently.

To tell the age of your Kenmore gas dryer model 11074812200, use the serial number, not the model number. The serial number is on the model and serial label located at the top inside the dryer door well; the date code in that serial number indicates when it was manufactured (or the production period).

Where to find the serial number on model 11074812200

We use the same label you use for service and warranty information.

• Open the dryer door.
• Look inside the door opening (the door well).
• Find the model and serial number label near the top.
• Write down the serial number exactly as shown.
• Keep it with your purchase date in your records (the manual recommends recording it).

Reference: 11074812200 owner's manual

How to decode the age once you have the serial number

Kenmore model numbers identify the product line and manufacturer family, but the serial number format is what carries the build date information.

Typical ways the date is shown in a serial number include:

• A week and year code (common on many appliances)
• A month and year code
• A year-first code followed by a production sequence
• A plant code plus a date segment

Because serial formats vary by production run, the most reliable approach is to match your serial number to the decoding guidance in your documentation.

What you have	What it tells you	What to do next
Model number (11074812200)	Series and configuration	Use it to pull the correct manual and parts
Serial number (from door well label)	Manufacturing date code	Decode the date segment to determine age
Purchase date/receipt	When you bought it	Use it to estimate time in service

Why it matters

Knowing the manufacturing date helps us narrow down the correct parts (like a belt, thermostat, or gas ignition components) and choose the right repair approach for wear items that age over time.

If you are ordering a common wear item, match it to your model first, then choose the part:

• Dryer drum belt 341241 for a broken belt or drum that will not turn
• Dryer door switch WP3406107 if the dryer will not start when the door is closed
• Dryer valve coil kit 279834 if the dryer heats briefly, then stops heating
