Kenmore Dryer F10 Error Code — Drive Belt Error

Kenmore Dryer

Medium Severity
Warning: If your Kenmore appliance displays the F10 error code and you are unsure how to proceed, turn off the appliance and contact a qualified technician. Some errors require professional repair to avoid further damage or safety risks.

Kenmore Dryer F10 Error — Drive Belt Issue Detected

The F10 error code on select Kenmore dryer models indicates the drive belt sensor has detected that the drum belt may be broken, slipped, or worn. The belt wraps around the drum and is driven by the motor. When it snaps, the drum stops rotating while the motor continues to run.

Identifying a Broken Belt

  • Motor runs (you can hear it) but the drum does not turn
  • You can spin the drum very easily by hand with the door open
  • F10 error displayed on newer sensor-equipped models

Belt Replacement

Drive belt replacement requires removing the front panel and drum. It is a moderate DIY repair for those comfortable disassembling the dryer. Our technicians complete belt replacements efficiently and check the drum bearing and glides at the same time, since these often wear together with the belt.
