Well... Your model number appears to be off, a bit. It should start with something like, 110.86873100...
Is this problem occurring in Timed dry, sensor dry, or all modes?
Before buying a new timer, I'd first look at the resistor that feeds voltage back to the timer motor. Make sure it's not open. Also, check to make sure one of the wires didn't fall off of it or burn up.
Also, if this was a Kenmore made by GE, they have two coils in them. If one of the coils burns out, but not the other, the timer will not advance. You'll know it's this type if you have a big, round coil setup right behind your drum.
You have a bad timer motor To verify you will get an ohm meter and remove the wires to the motor. Check between the motor wires fer continuity. If you have continuity then the next test will verify if the gears are stripped on the motor. Apply power to the timer motor and see if it advances on its own. From looking at your model number I see nothing unusual about the timer. to get to the[parts list I did 110.36873100. 110 is a the large prefix which ID's the dryer as being a whirlpool model. All kenmores ain't Whirlpool.
none that i know of.what is the model number and what is the problem you are having?there are thermostats,thermal fuses element,timer and motor.open the door.look around the opening where you put the clothes in and you'll see a tag with the model and serial numbers,just need the model,it will start with 110. or 417.
gas or electric? if it runs, check the heating element for a break. make sure the dryer venting is cleaned or the safety on the heater element will shut off the heat to prevent a fire. you may also need a thermal cut out kit which is mounted on the heater assembly.
hi thanks for the question it looks to me you have a bad thermal fuse located at the back remove the back panel on the air duct you will see a small plastic piece with 2 small blue wires replace this part thanks the appliance doc
If still heating, clean out vent and check for kinks. Also, REMOVE PLUG FIRST!! Remove back and remove four screw holding filter duct assembly at bottom left. Pull duct toward rear and reach into bottom of duct and remove lint. Also, wash out filter screen.
does the dryer have a gray back panel if it does then take it off the fuse may be bad its a small 1 in in diamiter white with 2 wires going to it replace it if the dryer has a front bottom panel in front then it is in there fuse is bad that is your problem
