How to reset a Kenmore Elite Smart Heat Dryer?
For Kenmore model 11062082101, the practical “reset” is a power reset: turn the dryer off, unplug it (or switch the breaker off) for 1 minute, restore power, then start a new cycle. This clears many control glitches and restores normal operation.
- Press STOP/CANCEL once to stop the dryer.
- Unplug the dryer (or turn both dryer breakers off if it is on a 240V circuit).
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Restore power.
- Close the door and select a cycle.
- Press START.
For the exact control behavior on your dryer (including how STOP/CANCEL and START work), follow the 11062082101 owner's manual.
A reset will not fix an open safety switch, a blown fuse, or a power supply problem. Check these common causes:
- Door not fully closed; a failed door switch can prevent starting (see dryer door switch WP3406107).
- House power issue; many electric dryers use two fuses or breakers, and one can trip without the other.
- Start sequence issue; if the cycle sits more than about 5 minutes without pressing START, the dryer can shut off and needs a new selection.
- Overheat protection opened; a blown thermal fuse stops the dryer (see dryer thermal fuse WP3390719).
| Situation | Reset helps? | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Control panel acting odd, cycle won’t respond | Yes | Power reset, then reselect cycle |
| Dryer won’t start at all | Sometimes | Check door switch, power, thermal fuse |
| Dryer runs but no heat | No | Check breakers, then heating circuit parts |
| Repeated shutdowns | Sometimes | Check venting for crushing/kinks and airflow |
Resetting is a fast first step, but repeated “glitches” often point to airflow restriction, a failing safety device, or an electrical supply issue. Fixing the root cause helps prevent overheating, long dry times, and repeat no-start problems.

What are the parts of a dryer called?
On our Kenmore electric dryer model 11062082101, the main parts are typically grouped into airflow/heat, drum support and drive, controls/safety, and door/lint handling. Knowing the correct part names helps you match symptoms (no heat, squealing, no start) to the right replacement.
- Heating system: creates heat for drying; often includes a heater and safety cutoffs.
- Airflow system: moves air through the drum and out the vent; restricted airflow causes long dry times.
- Drum and supports: the drum tumbles clothes; rollers and supports keep it stable.
- Drive system: motor, belt, and idler pulley turn the drum.
- Controls and sensors: timer/control board, thermistor, and moisture sensor regulate temperature and dryness.
- Door and safety switches: door switch and latch keep the dryer running only when the door is closed.
| System | Part name (common) | Example part for 11062082101 |
|---|---|---|
| Heat | Heating element | Dryer heating element WP3387747 |
| Safety | Thermal fuse | Dryer thermal fuse WP3390719 |
| Drive | Idler pulley | Dryer idler pulley 279640 |
| Drum support | Drum support roller kit | Support kit WPW10314173 |
| Airflow | Blower wheel | Dryer blower wheel WP697772 |
| Sensing | Thermistor | Dryer thermistor WP8577274 |
Using the right part name helps you avoid ordering the wrong item and speeds up diagnosis:
- No heat: often points to the heating element, thermal fuse, or cut-off components.
- Squealing or thumping: commonly relates to drum rollers/supports or the idler pulley.
- Won’t start: often involves the door switch or a failed drive motor.
- Long dry times: usually airflow related; check lint screen and venting first.

What is the code F01 on a Kenmore dryer?
On Kenmore electric dryer model 11062082101, the F01 (sometimes shown as F1) code points to a control sensing problem, most often tied to the dryer’s temperature-sensing circuit (thermistor) or the electronic control. Start with a power reset, then check the sensor wiring and related parts.
- Press STOP/CANCEL to clear the display, then try START again (the manual notes this approach for certain display messages). See the 11062082101 owner's manual.
- Unplug the dryer (or switch off the breaker) for 2 minutes, then restore power.
- Confirm the dryer is on a separate 30-amp circuit and the plug and outlet are secure.
- If the code returns immediately, stop running cycles and move to component checks.
On this Kenmore 110-series style dryer, these parts are frequent suspects when the control cannot read temperature correctly or detects an abnormal condition:
- Thermistor (temperature sensor): dryer thermistor WP8577274
- Heating circuit issues that overheat and trigger safety devices
- Loose or damaged wiring at the sensor, heater, or control
- Restricted airflow (lint screen or venting) causing overheating
| Check | What you’re looking for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Lint screen and venting | Lint blockage, weak airflow outside | Overheating can confuse temperature readings and trip safeties |
| Thermistor harness | Loose connector, broken wire, corrosion | Bad signal to the control can trigger an error |
| Heater area | Burn marks, damaged terminals | Heat damage often starts at connections |
| Safety devices | Open thermal fuse or cut-off | A safety trip can be the result of overheating |
F01 is often the dryer telling you it cannot reliably control heat. Continuing to run it with poor airflow or a failing sensor can lead to repeated shutdowns, no-heat symptoms, or additional part failures.
Schedule service if the reset does not clear the code, or if the dryer beeps and shows the code as soon as you start a cycle. The manual also notes that certain service-type codes require professional service; use the 11062082101 owner's manual as your reference.

What size is a Kenmore Model 11062082101 dryer?
The Kenmore 11062082101 electric dryer is a full-size 27-inch class dryer. Most Kenmore dryers in this design measure about 27 inches wide, with overall height and depth varying slightly by leveling legs and venting; confirm the exact cabinet dimensions in the 11062082101 owner's manual.
For a 27-inch Kenmore electric dryer like model 11062082101, these are the common size ranges used for planning space and hookups:
- Width: ~27 in
- Height: ~38 to 44 in (varies with top style and leveling legs)
- Depth: ~27 to 30 in (depth increases if you include the exhaust elbow and cord)
- Door swing clearance: allow extra space so the door opens fully
Use a tape measure and measure the cabinet, not the door handle.
- Measure width across the widest cabinet points
- Measure height from floor to the top of the cabinet (with leveling legs set)
- Measure depth from the back panel to the front edge (exclude the door), then add space for venting
- Add at least 4 to 6 inches behind the dryer for the vent connection in most installations
| What you’re planning for | What to allow | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Dryer body | 27-inch class footprint | Fits standard alcoves and laundry rooms |
| Behind dryer | 4 to 6 in (typical) | Room for vent elbow and cord |
| Side clearance | A little extra on one side | Easier service access and airflow |
Correct sizing prevents crushed venting (poor drying), makes installation easier, and reduces strain on parts like the blower wheel and heating system. If drying performance drops after a move, check vent routing and airflow guidance in the 11062082101 owner's manual.
