Why my Kenmore 68102 won't start?

  Nicholas WalkerAug 17, 2025
  If your Kenmore dryer isn't starting, there are a few things to check. First, make sure the dryer door is fully closed. Then, ensure you firmly press and hold the START/PAUSE button until you hear the drum moving. Also, check your household fuses or circuit breakers, as electric dryers use two. Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped breakers. If the issue persists, it may be due to an incorrect power supply; electric dryers need a 240-volt supply, so consult a qualified electrician. Finally, ensure you're using a time-delay fuse.

  If your Kenmore dryer isn't producing heat, start by checking your household fuses or circuit breakers. Electric dryers use two, and both must be intact. Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped breakers. If the problem continues, consult an electrician, as it might be related to the power supply. Electric dryers need a 240-volt supply. For gas dryers, ensure the supply line valve is open.

Why are my clothes too hot after drying in my Kenmore 68102 Dryer?

  If your clothes are too hot after drying in your Kenmore dryer, allow the Cool Down cycle to finish before removing them. If items are removed before the Cool Down, they may feel very warm. Also, consider using a lower temperature setting or an Auto Dry cycle, which senses the temperature or moisture level and shuts off when the desired dryness is reached, preventing overdrying.

  If your Kenmore dryer cycle is ending too early, the load may not be contacting the sensor strips properly; try leveling the dryer. For very small loads, use the Timed Dry setting. Adjusting the dryness level setting on Auto Dry Cycles can also help.

  If you're noticing stains on your clothes or the drum of your Kenmore dryer, it could be due to improper use of dryer fabric softener. Always add dryer sheets at the beginning of the cycle, as adding them to a partially dried load can cause stains. Drum stains may also be caused by dyes in clothing, like blue jeans, but these stains won't transfer to other clothing.

  To prevent wrinkles in your Kenmore dryer, remove the load immediately at the end of the cycle, or select the Wrinkle Guard™ 150 feature to tumble the load without heat. Also, avoid tightly packing the dryer; smaller loads that can tumble freely will wrinkle less.

Why does my Kenmore dryer smell?

  If your Kenmore dryer smells, it could be due to recent painting, staining, or varnishing in the area. Ventilate the area, and rewash and dry the clothing once the odors or fumes are gone. If it's a new electric dryer, the heating element may have an odor that will disappear after the first cycle.

  If your Kenmore Dryer isn't drying clothes well, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the lint screen is cleaned before each load. A clogged lint screen restricts airflow. Also, verify that you've selected the appropriate cycle for your garments, avoiding the 'Air Only' cycle unless intended. Overly large loads can also hinder drying, so separate them for better tumbling. Check for blockages in the exhaust vent or outside hood, cleaning any lint buildup or replacing the vent with a metal one if necessary. Avoid using too many fabric softener sheets, as they can block the grille. Ensure your exhaust vent isn't excessively long or has too many turns, and that it's the correct 4" diameter. Finally, confirm the dryer is in a room with a temperature above 45ºF (7ºC) and, if in a clos...
