What is the best setting to dry jeans on a kenmore 9000 electric

most likely the board is bad,the board is big money,just keep using it on auto,that's what you should be using anyway the dryer automatically stops when the clothes are dry,say you set your clothes for 60 minutes and they dry in 40,you're drying the clothes 20 more minutes that you didn't need,if you set it on auto the dryer sensor knows the clothes are dry and shuts it down when they are dry,this doesn't have a timer this has a computer board or it could be the touch pad not working correctly if it doesn't take commands but either part is expensive the board is like 200 and the touch pad is close to 300 bucks,i would use it on auto,one more thing to check is sometimes the ribbon or plug that connects the touch pad to the board could be loose or have some lint or something in it,i've just unplugged them and plugged them back in and then it works,also clean out all the lint out of the dryer and vent line,this is the number one cause of most problems in dryers and you won't have to worry about a dryer fire,if it's gas you should do this once a year yours is electric so you can wait like every 18 months with gas you have a flame in there so you don't want lint in or around the flame,clean out the duct that the lint filter slides down into and i use a leaf blower to blow out the vent line just take it off the dryer stick the leaf blower int the line and blow it to the outside when you have the dryer running go back outside and make sure the air is blowing out good

this could be operator error please hear me out...... when wash bath towels you also put in wash cloths and hand towels .... there is a sensor in dryer drum shroud in front of lint filter to metal silver strips when the clothes are tumbling they sweep across this sensor telling the dryer heat to stay on and continue to dry.... if th small wash cloth sweeps it first before the bath towel then u get the same results as your describing just like if you were waqshing colors load like cotton tshirt and blue jeans the tshirt is going to dry way faster than blue jeans so if the tshirt sweeps that sensor first the dryer going to shut off we have to sort our clothes to thickness ans same size articles just try it once i bet your clothes are dry when cycle completes

you can't get any parts for this dryer the computer board is no longer available,must be old technology replace it.

clean out all your vent holes,wall,dryer,lint trap,that should do it-mike

From the techincal document found in the dryer bottom panel

TEST #4a Dryness Level Adjust

NOTE: If the customer is complaining about the clothes being damp and the moisture sensor passes TEST #4 "Moisture Sensor Test- step 3, then the total dry time can be lengthened by changing from a "Lo" for short auto cycle to "Hi" for longer auto cycle.

1. Activate the Diagnostic Test Mode. Press the following button sequence: MORE TIME ~ LESS TIME -+ MORE TIME --+ LESS TIME - all within 5 seconds

1. In diagnostic test mode, press and hold the Auto Dry Level key for 5 seconds. The dryer will beep and the current auto cycle mode will be seen on the display. The factory default setting is "Lo".

1. To select a different auto cycle mode, press the Auto Dry Level key again. The dryer display will flash and show either "Hi" or "Lo"

1. With the display flashing the selected auto cycle mode press the Start key to save the setting and exit diagnostics (the Start key in this mode does not start a drying cycle). The result will be stored in EEPROM of the control board.

you might have a open heating element. ohm out your heating elements.

the auto temp sensor is bad / Larry

Hi thanks for the question. the problem is with a clog in the venting system . remove the vent and clean to the outside. where the lint filter is, use a brush with a long handle, to clean all the way down .do that . this should solve your problem. thanks the appliance doc
