OK I have a 1987 model kenmore dryer. It was overheating and John had me check the venting. Well, the vent line was crushed in the wall, I opened the line up and dried a load of laundry, it did great. It was a little noisy so I changed the rollers, the front and rear drum felt seals, Also...

UPDATE*** John, you were right. I pulled off the vent hose and it ran good with only a slight glow to the element. I removed the vent system from the wall and found the end of the hose was crushed closed. I cut off that piece and reconnected and its running great. It was cutting off from...

Thanks John, I will do that this evening and see what happens...

There were no extra pieces, The back panel along with the power block cover are off in this pic. I am also not sure if anyone left any “pieces” off before I got it. I just didn’t realize that you could see the heating element. I could see the glow through all the little holes on the back and...

the lower wires on the heating coil are out. they aren't under any type of shield, just didn't think they were that exposed in there.

Not completely closed off, just covered. I cant help but wonder what the screw holes are for

Ok, folks, I went into the back of the dryer last night and replaced the element, thermostat, and sensor. I started it with the back off so I could see the thermostat cut the element off. It all worked fine but I am pretty sure something is missing. I have never opened a dryer before but...

Ohhhh, ok. I understand now. Thank you for the breakdown. Really hoping to save the old dryer. looks like it may have had some damage from overheating. It has paint discoloring inside on the back wall of the drum where the heating element is. Never dealt with an overheating dryer element...

Appnut, can I ask what is the difference in the auto vs non auto water settings? I honestly don't know what they do differently and haven't found any manuals to cover that....

Appnut, I did get the matching dryer, just received a new heating element, new thermostats,and sensors. It is overheating and I really hope to save it. PLEASE EXCUSE MY REALLY BAD PIC REFLECTION...LOL John, thanks I will do the clean up but I feel it would be way above my pay grade to...

Yes, It is a 7. So it is a 91 model. Great, Thank you for the info and link. I really appreciate it

Can anyone tell me how to determine the manufacture date. I just picked up a Lady Kenmore 90 series and have been trying to learn a little about it. It runs great except the agitator dogs need replacing, and I have already ordered them. I was really happy to see even the dispensers were...
