Re: Kenmore Compact Dryer:
Hey! Launderess, this is exactly just like my Compact Dryer. I bought it 2nd Hand for $100.00 plus tax almost 1-year ago. It has been a great smaller Capacity Dryer. This being my 3rd or 4th Kenmore Compact 110-Volt Dryer. None of them have ever given me any problems, other than cleaning out the Lint, or maybe 1-Belt replacement.
As with my regular size Dryers, they've always have been routinely taken apart to clean out any extra Lint, to prevent Fires. I've also by suggestion of a Repair Tech, quite some time ago, have used Turbine Oil, to Lubricate the Drum Rollers and the Belt Tension Pulley. It can be purchased at most any Parts Departments, including the Sears Parts Department. What I like about it, is that it is in a soft Plastic/Rubber Bottle, with a Straw for concentrating the Oil right into the area, without getting it squirted all over everything else as well.
Peace and great Laundry Drying in a Kenmore Compact Dryer, Steve
