How to Change the Belt for a Kenmore Dryer Model 110
The Kenmore model 110 dryer is part of the Kenmore Elite high-efficiency series of appliances. The Kenmore 110 comes in gas and electric varieties. Both use the same mechanism for managing the movement of the internal drum. The motor in the dryer connects to a belt and pulley system that powers the drum movement. If the belt breaks or fails, the drum will not move properly, or will not move at all. Replace a broken belt to keep the 110 dryer working as it was designed.
