Consumer Question: Overheating Dryer

Hi, Joe,

I have a 1995 Sears Kenmore Heavy Duty 70 series soft heat Dryer Model 96575100. The tumbler won't turn and the dryer overheats. The belt is not broken and the duct is clean. The repairman said it burns out a fuse, but the fuse was replaced. It worked for a day or two and then broke again.

Thanks,

Philip

A: Hi, Philip,

Thanks for your note. 

I suggest you get a service technician to take that dryer apart and find the problem. It is sure to catch fire from what you describe!

Regards,

Joe Gagnon
