If your Kenmore Dryer won't turn on, ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the dryer’s rating plate. Also, check your house fuse or circuit breaker; reset the breaker or replace the fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If a circuit overload is the problem, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Why is my Kenmore 796. 8147 not heating?
If your Kenmore dryer isn't heating, first check your house fuse or circuit breaker and reset it or replace the fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. Have a qualified electrician correct any circuit overloads. For gas models, make sure 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.
How to fix a blinking CHECK VENT light 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, restrictions, or has a partial blockage of the ductwork because of lint buildup or a foreign object. Install a shorter or straighter duct run following the Installation Instructions. The ductwork should be checked and cleaned immediately. The dryer can still be used, but drying times will be longer, and energy consumption will increase.
Why is there excess static in clothes after drying in my Kenmore Dryer?
To reduce static in clothes after drying in your Kenmore Dryer, use a fabric softener or the STATIC SHIELD option, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying can also cause static, so adjust settings for a shorter drying time or use AUTO DRY cycles with a LESS DRY setting. Also, synthetic fabrics are prone to static, so use fabric softener, LESS DRY, or shorter TIMED DRY settings.
What to do if there are greasy spots on clothes after drying in my Kenmore 796. 8147?
Greasy or dirty spots on clothes after drying in your Kenmore Dryer can occur if clean and dirty clothes are dried together, or if clothes weren't properly cleaned/rinsed beforehand. Only dry clean items in your dryer. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to clean clothes. Stains may not have been removed during washing, so ensure clothes are completely cleaned/rinsed per your washer and detergent instructions. Pre-treat difficult soils before washing.
