Know Your Kenmore Dryer

How Kenmore Dryers Are Built

On Kenmore Elite steam dryers, the display reports ductwork restriction in steps (d80, d90, d95) and a blinking CHECK VENT, which the guide says is an exhaust problem rather than a dryer failure. Source: Kenmore - Kenmore Elite Steam Dryer Use & Care Guide (796.8178/796.9178)

What Kenmore Says to Check First

• Check Vent light blinking. Kenmore says the exhaust is seriously restricted and the ducts should be cleaned and inspected before using the dryer again. Source: Kenmore - Kenmore Elite Steam Dryer Use & Care Guide (796.8178/796.9178)
• Dryer not heating. Kenmore says to check for a tripped breaker or blown fuse and, on gas models, confirm the gas supply is on, noting an electric dryer can tumble without heat on a partial circuit. Source: Kenmore - Kenmore Elite Steam Dryer Use & Care Guide (796.8178/796.9178)

Owner Care for Kenmore Dryers

• Use only 4-inch rigid or semi-rigid metal duct (no plastic or foil), check it for lint monthly and clean it at least yearly; one Elite steam model allows about 65 feet with no elbows and 28 feet with four 90-degree elbows using a 4-inch hood. Source: Kenmore - Kenmore Elite Steam Dryer Use & Care Guide (796.8178/796.9178)
• Clean the lint trap after every load, since lint that gets past it builds up in the vent and lengthens drying times. Source: Kenmore - 3 Reasons to Clean Your Dryer Vent (And How to Do It)
