No heat in a Kenmore stackable washer dryer

If your Kenmore stackable washer dryer model 417.12510 is not producing heat, there may be a problem with the heating element or with the control system of the dryer. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the dryer's manual for any specific troubleshooting steps or error codes that may be relevant to the issue you are experiencing.
2. Make sure that the dryer's lint filter is clean and unobstructed. A clogged lint filter can cause problems with the heating element.
3. Check the heating element for any visible signs of damage or wear. If the element is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
4. If the heating element appears to be in good condition, there may be a problem with the control system of the dryer. In this case, it will likely be necessary to have a qualified technician inspect the machine to diagnose the problem and recommend the necessary repairs.

I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can assist with.

If it was working before you replaced the element, I would suggest that you have inadvertently knocked a wire off somewhere or trapped and cut through a wire. Have close look everywhere you were working.

Possible that the heating element has burnt out, or that the thermostat that controls the element is defective. If you have a low or warm setting try that also as it may use a different element? Good luck.

Could you please post the model number of the unit? It will be under the washer lid, in the dryer door, on the top, or the side of your unit.

More than likely the Thermistors are blown. They are located on the heating element canister inside the dryer, they are kinda oblong shape with two electrical connections. If you have a multimeter you can check for continuity on the thermistors and the heating element just be sure to disconnect one of the electrical connections on the thermistors and the heating element so you don't get a false meter reading, Thermistors can be purchased from most appliance repair businesses for around $30.

Hi,
Either the elements have blown, or it could be a device called a thermal overload which has popped. (There may also be a loose wire which connects to the heating elements). Have your drier checked out by a good handyman or technician.

The element is behind the drum. You have to remove the front panal and pull the drum out.
