Sensor dry ends while clothes are wet
Dirty sensor bars or a wiring fault can fool the cycle. We clean, test and trace before replacing anything.
Gas and electric
Kenmore dryer repair in Charlotte means reading the model number carefully. Kenmore model numbers start with a short prefix, such as 26-, and the digits that follow matter when we look up parts.
The Kenmore dryers we verified are gas and electric models, including 7.0 cu. ft. sensor-dry versions and an 8.0 cu. ft. gas front-load dryer with steam. Plenty of long-serving Kenmores still run in Charlotte basements and garages.
