This generation sits between Kenmore’s mechanical-timer dryers and its later full sensor-dry models — an early digital control board and display, but without true moisture-sensing between cycles. A blank or unresponsive display on this bridge generation is checked at the control board and its power supply first, since the digital electronics are a newer addition than the heating element underneath them.
Key Features
- Electric heating element
- Early digital display with preset cycle buttons
- Basic timed-dry sensing, not full moisture-sensor drying
- Limited cycle selection compared to later sensor-dry models
Most Common Issues on This Model
01
