Aftermarket Dryer Motor

This motor is designed specifically for the Kenmore model 11078002010. Before purchasing, verify your dryer's model number on the manufacturer's label, usually located inside the door frame or on the back of the unit, to ensure an exact match.

This is an aftermarket replacement part. It is engineered to meet the same operational specifications as the original factory component, providing a reliable and cost-effective alternative for restoring your dryer's rotation.

The most common indicators are a dryer that hums but won't start, a drum that fails to spin despite the cycle running, or the dryer shutting off unexpectedly during a cycle. If you hear a grinding noise or smell burning, the motor may be seizing or overheating.

If you are comfortable working with basic hand tools and have experience with appliance repair, this is a manageable DIY project. However, it requires opening the dryer cabinet and disconnecting electrical components, so ensure you unplug the unit first and consult your service manual for safety steps.

Yes, if the heating element is working but the drum remains stationary, the motor is often the culprit. However, it is worth checking the drive belt and the door switch first, as these can also prevent the drum from turning.
