Kenmore 11076712694 gas dryer Parts

Your Kenmore dryer’s model number is printed on the appliance’s ID tag; once you find it, match it exactly (letters and numbers) to look up the correct parts and diagrams. For this page, the model number format you’re looking for is 11076712694.

Where to find the model number tag

Check these common locations on Kenmore gas dryers like 11076712694:

• Inside the door opening on the front panel (most common)
• On the door frame itself
• On the back panel of the cabinet
• Near the lint screen housing (some designs)
• Behind the lower front access panel (if your dryer has one)

What the model number looks like (and what to write down)

We recommend copying the full model number exactly as shown on the tag.

What to capture	Example	Why it matters
Model number	11076712694	Ensures parts fit your exact dryer
Serial number	(varies)	Helps identify production run for some parts
Type	Gas dryer	Confirms you need gas-specific ignition and valve parts

Quick tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

• Use the full model number, not just the first three digits (for example, “110” alone is not enough)
• Don’t swap similar-looking characters (0 vs O, 1 vs I)
• If the tag is worn, take a clear photo and zoom in
• Confirm the dryer is gas before ordering burner parts like an igniter or gas valve

Why it matters

Kenmore model numbers often share prefixes across many different designs; using the exact model number (like 11076712694) is what ties your dryer to the correct drum, belt routing, thermostats, and gas ignition components.

For a Kenmore gas dryer like model 11076712694, you typically do not replace an electric heating element; heat is produced by a gas burner assembly. Most “no heat” repairs on this model range from about $25 to $200 for common parts, plus labor if you hire service.

What you actually replace on a gas dryer (instead of a heating element)

On Kenmore gas dryers, “won’t heat” is usually caused by ignition or safety components, not an electric element.

Common heat-related parts for model 11076712694 include:

• Dryer valve coil kit 279834 (often fixes heat that starts then stops)
• Igniter 279311 (glows or fails to ignite the gas)
• Dryer radiant sensor WP338906 (detects burner flame/heat)
• Dryer operating thermostat WP3387134 (regulates drum temperature)
• Dryer high-limit thermostat W11050897 (opens if overheating occurs)

Typical cost ranges (parts and service)

Actual totals depend on whether you DIY, vent condition, and how many parts are replaced at once.

Repair scenario (gas dryer)	Typical parts cost	Typical total with labor
Replace gas valve coils	$25 to $40	$150 to $300
Replace igniter	$25 to $60	$150 to $300
Replace thermostat or high-limit kit	$15 to $50	$150 to $300
Multiple parts in one visit	$50 to $200	$200 to $450

Quick checks before buying parts

We recommend these steps first because airflow problems can mimic failed heating parts.

• Clean the lint screen and confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood
• Check for crushed, kinked, or excessively long vent ducting
• Run a timed dry cycle and listen for burner ignition cycling
• If the dryer heats briefly then goes cold, suspect coils first
• If the igniter never glows, suspect igniter, thermal cut-off/high-limit, or a control issue

Why it matters

Gas dryers rely on correct ignition and safe temperature control. Replacing the right component (often coils, igniter, or thermostats) restores heat faster and helps prevent repeat failures caused by restricted venting.

The average lifespan of the Kenmore 11076712694 gas dryer is about 13 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Keeping airflow strong and wear parts in good shape helps this model reach its full service life.

What affects lifespan most

• Vent restriction (long runs, crushed flex duct, lint buildup) that overheats the dryer
• Overloading that strains the drum support system and drive components
• Heat system cycling issues that cause excessive on and off operation
• Delayed repairs when you hear squealing, thumping, or the drum stops turning
• Routine cleaning of lint screen and lint path

Common wear parts that can shorten life if ignored

If the dryer runs but makes noise, won’t tumble, or heats inconsistently, these are frequent culprits:

• Drum belt 341241 (broken or stretched belt stops the drum)
• Dryer idler pulley WP691366 (squeal, belt wear, poor tension)
• Dryer blower wheel WP694089 (poor airflow, rumbling, longer dry times)
• Dryer valve coil kit 279834 (gas heat cuts in and out)
• Dryer operating thermostat WP3387134 (temperature control problems)

Quick maintenance checklist (high impact)

• Clean the lint screen every load; wash it monthly to remove residue.
• Check outside vent hood for strong airflow while running.
• Keep the vent run short and smooth; avoid screws that catch lint.
• Stop using the dryer if you smell gas; shut off the gas supply and have a qualified technician check it.

Symptom-to-action guide

What you notice	What it usually means	What to do next
Drum won’t turn, motor runs	Belt or idler issue	Inspect belt and idler system
Long dry times, hot cabinet	Airflow restriction or blower issue	Clean venting, check blower wheel
Heat starts then stops	Gas coils or thermostat cycling	Test coils and temperature controls

Why it matters

A dryer that runs hot or with restricted airflow wears out parts faster and can damage the burner and motor. Addressing airflow and drive wear early typically prevents bigger repairs and extends the life of your Kenmore gas dryer.
