To troubleshoot a Kenmore Dryer that won't turn on, first, ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the dryer's rating plate. Then, check your house fuse and reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse if necessary. Avoid increasing the fuse capacity. If a circuit overload is the issue, consult a qualified electrician to correct it.
Why is my Kenmore 796.8128 not heating?
If your Kenmore Dryer is not heating, start by resetting the circuit breaker or replacing the fuse. Do not increase the fuse capacity. If a circuit overload is the problem, have it corrected by a qualified electrician. For gas models, check that both the house and dryer gas shutoff valves are fully open and that other gas appliances are working normally. Note that electric dryers may run without heat due to a circuit problem; confirm the electrical supply.
What to do if the CHECK VENT light is blinking on my Kenmore Dryer?
If the CHECK VENT light is blinking on your Kenmore Dryer, it means the exhaust system is either too long, has too many turns, or is partially blocked. To resolve this, install a shorter or straighter duct run, referring to the Installation Instructions for specifics. Immediately inspect and clean the ductwork to remove any lint buildup or obstructions. While you can still use the dryer, be aware that drying times will increase, and energy consumption will rise.
