    Kenmore Solid State Won't Heat
    Hello.
    I have a Sears Kenmore Solid State Soft Heat Dryer that won't heat. It was like this when I moved into the house. Although it's a little dated, it is in great condition. I don't even know where to look for the model no. Everything else seems to function fine. Actually, I still use it, it just takes a lot longer to dry clothes as you can imagine. Which is just really inconvenient and time consuming. I know that it could be the heating coils or the fuse. First, where are the heating coils? And how do I know if the fuse is blown?

    If it heats, just takes a long time to dry the clothes, Remove the vent hose from the rear of the unit and clean very well, all the way back to where it exits the home.If problem still presist, post back for further help
