Kenmore 62602 Electric Dryer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Where is the door actuator or switch located
The door actuator usually consists of two parts. There should be a tab that sticks down from the top of the recess that the door folds into. When the door shuts this tab presses on a switch mounted inside the dryer housing. This is a normally open switch. You will likely need to open the dryer to access this switch. Be sure to first unplug your dryer.

My kennmore dryer model # 11062912100 won't heat up what is the possible cause?
check the heating element itself with a meter for continuity OHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defective.
Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. 220 because if u only get half or 110 volts you will be able to run the machine which uses only 110 to run motor but not the heater which uses a full 220,
Check the thermal cut off, the cycling and the hi limit thermostats.
For continuity or OHMS. If no ohms or resistance they need replacement.
Lastly check your moister sensor. ( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shut down early and clothes are still wet.
Test with a meter at room temperature and it should show continuity.
New dryer does not dry clothes
Check your venting and lint basket. Check blower for lint build up and blower wheel obstruction., test by trying to turn the wheel manually by hand (should be easy) May have to remove cabinet or front/back plate to get to it)
Next check the heating element itself with a meter for continuity OHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defective.

Hi,
Here is a tip that will help you with changing your dryer plug.
Dryer Cord and Wiring Dryer 3 Wire or 4 Wire

My kenmore dryer take a long time to dry.But the filter is clean.
In answer to your question, if you can replace the duct with hard, straight duct, do it. Flex duct has alot of restriction to it and easily collects lint which inhibits air flow, thus, long drying times. But before doing that, I would be sure that all the elements were working.
You can 3" and 4" duct from Home Depot or Lowes. Pretty common stuff. I did mine and that is where I got it. Cut my drying time in more than half.
Good Luck and hope this helps.
