How do I replace the power cord on a Kenmore dryer?
Get PartsConsult your dealer or the Kenmore home page to determine the right cord for your model. Buy it on site or order from the Internet. Don’t start work until the cord has arrived.Safety FirstTurn off power to your utility room at your fuse box. Unplug the dryer and move it far enough away from your wall to give you room to work. Don’t cut corners on safety with a dryer. Kenmore (and all other brand) dryers carry enough juice to kill a strong adult.Remove and ReplaceUnscrew the four screws holding the lower back plate on the dryer. Set them aside someplace you’ll find them later. Remove the back plate and set it aside. Find where the power cord is attached to the dryer. On Kenmore dryers this is typically in the bottom, right-hand quadrant. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew the screws holding the old cord in place. Remove and set aside. Position the new cord in place and attach with the screws from the old cord.
