The dryer operates both on 120VAC and 240VAC. The motor and the controls are hooked up on 120VAC whereas the heating circuit is on 240VAC.
The problem here is likely with the thermal cut-off and the high-limit thermostat located on the heater housing. Disconnect power then pry the lower access panel off with a flat-head screwdriver as shown.
Remove the hex-head screw from the Kenmore Electric Dryer Model 110.69902890 - jahn27_87.jpg and remove the shield.
Disconnect
the red wire from the thermal cut-off and the red/white stripe wire
from the heater. Connect the red wire disconnected from the thermal
cut-ofKenmore Electric Dryer Model 110.69902890 - jahn27_88.jpger terminal where the red/white stripe wire is
disconnected from.
Reconnect
power then start the dryer. The problem is indeed with the two bypassed
components if the dryer heats up. Replace both the thermal cut-off and
the high-limit thermostat and it should solve the heating problem. Do
not use the dryer with those parts bypassed due to high risk of fire
hazards.
