View Full Version : Kenmore Dryer won't Dry

I saw similar postings on this all within the last 2 week and wonder if the problem is with Kenmore dryers generally.

I have a Kenmore Elite dryer which I noticed about 2 weeks ago didn't dry properly but thought it was the amount of load. It has gone worse this week with the cloths almost as wet as when they were loaded despite the dryer running it's course.

Any suggestion(s) on where to start? Also a little tip on where to open (front or back) will be appreciated.

1. Electric or gas?
2. If gas is the burner working? If electric, is the element getting hot?
3. In either case, have you cleaned out the vent line? That may be the single most common reason why dryers that appear to be working, won't dry.

1. Electric
2. Didn't check
3. Will have to work on that.
