FAQ

Kenmore Legacy Electric Dryer FAQ

Yes, as long as the vent and lint path are clear and the heating element is functioning correctly — a technician can confirm both during a service visit. Q: At this age, does it make more sense to just replace it? A: Not for a heating-element or timer fault — those stay cheaper to fix than to replace outright, and we'll say so plainly if a part turns out to be a genuine dead end.
