20 Most Recent Kenmore 64942 Electric Dryer Questions & Answers

This may seem too simple of an answer based on your extensive troubleshooting thus far, but the most common reason for cold air running of any electric dryer is a broken heater coil. This is simply a coil of wire that is heated to warm the air in the fan duct. These often overheat and break if the vent duct is blocked, too long, or has odd bends that can restrict flow. Recommend replacing heater coil and use smooth wall vent pipe. Avoid coil type flexible duct.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. It seems to be the issue with the Thermal Fuse going bad and needs to be replaced. It is mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. Also, often a dryer heating element burns out, but doesn't trip the circuit breaker or blow a fuse. The heating element is simply a long coil of special wire. You can check it for continuity with an ohm meter. No continuity means the element is bad and you need to replace it. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

why don't you just go to home depot and buy a longer flex hose?mike

The fuse is located in the dryer fan/blower wheel cover and is a one time fuse, which means it is not resettable. I did a look up for the kenmore model # that you gave and I cannot find your model listed. If you go to parts.com and do a search for your dryer you will be able to see all the drawings on your dryer. You will be able to find the replacement part # and how to get to it. Test your fuse to check if it is open if it is, then replace the fuse. There is also a temperature sensor on the back wall of the dyer drum (it is a small metal circle close to the exhaust outlet). Sometimes there is simply a build up of fabric softener residue on them that stops the dryer from heating up. Clean the sensor with an alcohol wipe.
Hope this helps and don't forget to get all the lint out of the dryer before putting it back in service.

i have fixed thousands of dryers over the years and the element shorting to ground is a rare ocurance.if you are loosing elements this fast it is due too your ducting as i think you know.and your replacement of the flex with hard ducting will surly aid in that cause.too answer your question,sure the thermo's will have been weakened but i have seen the same thermo's on 15,20 year old dryers ,so they can take some punishment.i owned an appliance repair buissness for ten years and after market wholesale thermo's were about 3$ each so if could find at that kind of price ,ok.other wise may be looking at 30 to 40$ and i dont see it making your dryer much safer then is with out new. God bless,hope that helps,tom
