Kenmore 2666814 Dryer Questions & Answers
Not heating up
ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
Check to make sure you are getting full 220 Volt power to the dryer, if you are then:
Sounds like your problem may be with the heating coil. Remove the back/or front just under the door of the machine and try to locate the air duct going from the blower to the drum. Normally inside/outside the air duct you will find the heating coil and the thermostats/thermistors. Once you have located the heating coil, remove the two wires from it and check the coil with an ohm meter across the two terminals of the coil.
You should read continuity across the terminals, if not you will need to replace the coil as it is faulty.
If the heating coil is ok, then:
You can check the thermostat/thermistor one at a time by removing the two wires and taping them together with electrical tape or with an ohm meter to test the thermostat/thermistor. (Should have/show continuity)
If the coil heats up then replace the thermostat/thermistor.
DO NOT LEAVE THE WIRES TAPED TOGETHER AFTER THE TEST.
This could cause a FIRE, as you have removed the safety of overheat from the machine.

Dryer not getting hot
If your dryer isnt heating properly it could be a couple things.
One is that the temp fuse is bad in which case it will need to be replaced. Another is a bad heating element which would also need to be replaced. If you bring the model number of your machine to an appliance parts shop they should be able to get you both those parts and they are relatively inexpensive. However you may prefer to call a pro repairman to come check it out.
How to change time settings on a Kenmore series 600 electric dryer

My Kenmore just stopped while heating something... shows No power... any ideas?
Your Kenmore Dryer has a number of things that can cause this.
Most basic, the house breaker has tripped.
The timer or electronic mainboard has failed.
The element has failed
One of the 3 heat regulation devices has failed or tripped out, one resets itself, the thermal fuse has to be replaced.
'make model (what it is)' in all questions please.
