How do I reset my Kenmore dryer?
To reset your Kenmore dryer model 11062822102, do a hard reset: turn the dryer off and unplug it (or switch the breaker off) for 1 minute, then restore power and start a cycle again. This clears many temporary control and cycle-selection glitches; use the 11062822102 owner's manual for the correct stop and restart steps.
Quick reset steps (safe and effective)
- Turn the Cycle Selector to OFF.
- Unplug the dryer (or turn both dryer breakers off if it is electric).
- Wait 1 minute.
- Restore power.
- Close the door firmly.
- Select a cycle and temperature.
- Press PUSH TO START.
If it still will not start after a reset
These checks solve most “won’t run” complaints on this style of Kenmore dryer:
- Confirm the power cord is fully plugged in.
- Check house power: many dryers use 2 fuses or 2 breakers; one can trip and the drum may still run or the dryer may appear dead.
- Make sure the door is fully closed; a failed door switch can prevent starting.
- Press the start button firmly and verify a cycle is actually selected.
- If the dryer overheated previously, a blown thermal cut-off can stop heat and sometimes stop operation; inspect and replace as needed.
| Symptom after reset | Most common cause | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| No lights, no response | No power to dryer | 2 breakers or fuses, outlet power |
| Runs but no heat | Half power lost (electric) or safety open | Breakers/fuses; airflow; thermal cut-off |
| Won’t start, door feels “loose” | Door switch not closing | Test/replace dryer door switch WP3406107 |
Why it matters
A reset only clears a temporary control state. If the dryer is losing power, not sensing the door closed, or tripping a safety device from restricted venting, the problem will return until the underlying issue is fixed.

What is the PF code on a Kenmore 11062822102?
On a Kenmore 11062822102 dryer, the PF code means power failure. It shows up when the dryer’s power is interrupted (even briefly) during a cycle; once power is stable again, you can clear the code and restart the cycle using the normal control steps in your owner's manual.
What usually causes a PF code
- A brief outage or power “blink” in your home
- The dryer plug not fully seated in the outlet
- A tripped breaker (or a weak breaker that trips intermittently)
- A loose power cord connection at the dryer terminal block
- A loose wall outlet or damaged receptacle
How to clear PF and get drying again
- Press Pause/Cancel (or Stop) once to clear the display.
- Re-select your cycle and press Start.
- If PF returns, reset power: turn the breaker OFF for 1 minute, then ON.
Quick safety note
If you suspect a loose cord or terminal block connection, unplug the dryer (or switch the breaker off) before inspecting anything.
Troubleshooting checklist (fast, practical)
| What you see | Most likely issue | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| PF happens once, then dryer runs normally | Brief outage | Clear code and continue |
| PF repeats on multiple loads | Unstable power or loose connection | Check outlet, plug fit, breaker |
| Dryer stops mid-cycle and PF appears | Power interruption under load | Inspect cord/terminal block, breaker |
| PF plus no heat or long dry times | Separate heating/airflow issue | Check venting and heating circuit parts |
Why it matters
A PF code is mainly a power supply warning, but repeated PF events can point to a connection that heats up under load. Fixing the root cause helps prevent nuisance shutdowns and protects components like the timer and heater circuit.

What size is a Kenmore Model 11062822102 dryer?
Most Kenmore 11062822102 dryers are a standard full-size cabinet; the manual indicates this model family uses accessories sized for 27-inch or 29-inch wide dryers, so your unit will be in that common width range. For the exact cabinet dimensions (width, depth, height), use the specifications section in the owner's manual.
What you can expect for overall dimensions
For a full-size Kenmore dryer like model 11062822102, typical cabinet dimensions fall in these ranges:
- Width: 27 to 29 inches
- Depth: 27 to 30 inches (deeper if you include the handle or vent elbow)
- Height: 36 to 43 inches (varies by control console style and leveling legs)
How to confirm the exact size on your dryer
Use these quick checks to get the most accurate measurement for your laundry space:
- Measure width at the widest point (usually the cabinet sides).
- Measure depth from the back panel to the front edge; add space for the vent connection.
- Measure height from floor to the top; include the leveling legs.
- Check the model and serial label location (top inside the door well) to confirm you are measuring the correct unit.
Why the 27-inch vs 29-inch width matters
The manual’s dryer rack guidance is based on dryer width, which affects accessory fit and airflow patterns.
| Dryer width category | What it affects | Example from the manual |
|---|---|---|
| 27-inch wide | Rack style and fit | Heated rack version is listed for 27-inch dryers |
| 29-inch wide | Rack style and fit | Non-heated rack version is listed for 29-inch dryers |
Why it matters
Correct dryer dimensions help you plan safe clearance for ventilation, door swing, and service access. A tight fit can also kink the vent, which reduces airflow and can cause long dry times and overheating.
