79690512900 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

I put the dryer information into my browser and found PartSelect had the exact replacement part I needed. I ordered the part and it came is just a few days. I removed the part from the excellent packaging, removed the cracked lint filter from the dryer, replaced it with the new lint filter and done!
Among things I've successfully repaired, this was the easiest and best job I've ever done. Quick, Easy and painless.
Thanks for asking!

Ordered a new one and installed it in a matter of seconds.
Not difficult!

Initially replaced igniter. Didn't think it was bad though. Read other suggestions on another website. None were the correct diagnosis for my situation. And when I figured it out they did not offer correct part. The dryer thermistor temp sensor (probe sensor) is what I replaced. Found it on Parts Select. I did replace other parts also. But that's the one that ultimately was the issue.
Was not hard at all if one is even a little handy.

Called LG on the phone and they gave the button presses for diagnostics, which then gave the HST code, saying the Humidity sensor was bad.
The part was described as the Humidity sensor module. Actually it's just the wire leads for the sensor which must be electronic and only accessible by disassembling the dryer. There were descriptions about cleaning the wires, perhaps because some people use dryer sheets which cause a buildup on the wires and prevent them from doing their job. I use wool balls and have no buildup on my wires and replacing them did not fix the sensor, because the module accessible inside the dryer is not the moisture sensor, but only the wire leads.

Part showed up in 2 days and repair took 2 min. Very easy. Thank you!!

Followed the instruction on video.was great after three parts now is OK .we have heat.still cheaper than having it service.

Exchange

Repair was easy, but the part does not come with directions. It is pretty self explanatory if you are used to taking things apart and fixing them. Otherwise there are YouTube videos you can pull up. Dryer runs like it is new again though and it was way cheaper than buying a new dryer.

There’s all sorts of videos on it I watched. It was actually very simple

watched the video on line then did the repair, very easy to replace

Completely had to dismantle the dryer to get to the igniter.
The screw holding the igniter is a SOB to get at for extraction, and even worse putting back.,

Just unscrewed the original lock and screwed the new one on it was very easy

I replaced the thermistor, then the gas ignitor which were easy to get to once the drum was out. The gas is still not igniting so not sure where to go from here. Putting the drum belt back on took some muscle. But then I'm 71.

Unscrew the screw, remove old part, place in new part, replace screw and you are done.

An appliance repairman determined the problem which was that it needed new pulleys and thankfully PartSelect carried them. He installed them in an hour and my dryer runs fine now.
