If your Kenmore model 175.8899 is a common type of appliance like a dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, or oven, here are the general steps you might take to use it:

1. Read the Manual: If you have the user manual that came with your Kenmore appliance, it's a great starting point. The manual will provide specific instructions tailored to your model.
2. Power On: For most appliances, there will be a power button or switch that you'll need to turn on. Make sure the appliance is properly plugged into an outlet.
3. Settings and Controls: Depending on the appliance, there might be various settings and controls you can adjust. For example, if it's an oven, you might need to set the temperature and cooking mode. If it's a washing machine, you might need to select the wash cycle and other options.
4. Load the Appliance: Load the appliance with whatever you intend to use it for. For a dishwasher or washing machine, this could be dishes or clothes. Make sure not to overload the appliance, as this could affect its performance.
5. Start the Operation: Once the appliance is loaded and you've set the desired settings, start the operation. This might involve pressing a "Start" button or initiating a specific sequence.
6. Monitor and Wait: While the appliance is operating, keep an eye on it to ensure everything is going smoothly. For appliances like ovens or microwaves, this could involve checking the food periodically. For appliances like dishwashers or washing machines, you might just need to wait until the cycle is complete.
7. Shutdown and Cleaning: Once the operation is complete, turn off the appliance using the power button or switch. For appliances like ovens, make sure to turn them off after use. Additionally, clean the appliance according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
8. Maintenance: Regular maintenance might be required. This could involve tasks like cleaning filters, descaling, or replacing worn-out parts. Check the user manual for guidance on maintenance.

Remember, these are general steps, and your specific Kenmore model 175.8899 might have unique features or steps that aren't covered here. Always refer to the user manual for accurate instructions tailored to your appliance. If you're having trouble or need specific information, you might want to contact Kenmore customer support or refer to their official website for assistance.

Make sure the small orange wire is connected to the 250 limit at the base of the heater assy. That is what powers the motor on auto cycle.

There's thermal fuse on the blower that blows when the cycling thermostat malfunctions or the lint/vent duct are blocked. This thermal fuse is wired in series with the dryer motor and if it blows, power to the motor is terminated causing the dryer not to start and no dryer function works. Check to make sure that the lint filter is always clean and the vents are clear. Click on the link below for the detailed troubleshooting of the dryer, particularly the thermal fuse, when it doesn't start.

Troubleshooting Not Starting Whirlpool and Kenmore Dryers with Lint Filter on Top

The Kenmore H5T is an electric clothes dryer meant for residential use and manufactured by the Kenmore Company, which manufactures a wide variety of appliances for the home, including refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, stoves, and clothes washers and dryers. While most Kenmore clothes dryers work well with only basic care and maintenance, certain problems, such as the dryer not heating, occasionally occur. Troubleshooting this issue may solve the problem without the help of a service technician.
instruction

Ensure that the dryer is properly connected to a working grounded power supply. Confirm that the power cord is plugged firmly into the dryer and the power outlet. Reset household fuses or circuit breakers if necessary.

2 Remove the lint screen from the bottom front of the dryer. Pull off all lint so that the filter screen is clean, and replace the lint screen in the dryer.

Run the dryer for 5 minutes on a normal cycle and hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to feel for air movement. If there is no air movement, turn off the dryer and unplug the unit. Disconnect the exhaust vent and clean out any possible obstructions, such as excess lint. Reconnect and confirm that the vent is not kinked or crushed and preventing proper heated air flow.

Ensure the dryer is not in a room or outside with ambient temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The dryer will be unable to heat properly if the ambient temperature is too low.

Avoid overloading the dryer with too many clothes, which will limit proper heat and air flow in the dryer. Make sure the dryer is not set on an "Air Only" dry cycle, which does not provide heat.

Contact an authorized service technician if the preceding steps do not resolve the problem.

no,that's how they run,if your clothes are drying and the dryer is cycling on and off,leave it alone,if the clothes are taking a long time to dry clean out the duct that the lint filter slides into and blow out the vent line with a leaf blower if it's a long run

Check your vent. Inspect the dryer venting from the rear of the dryer to the outside vent hood of the home.
If there's a restriction in the vent--the clothing in the dryer takes longer to dry.
When an LG dryer is functioning normally---the time required to dry laundry is determined by the *Sensor* located on the drum side of the lint filter housing and by the main control board.
When laundry is near dry--any Time Remaining on the control panel that is *not* needed will be eliminated---except for the last 6 minutes.
The final 6 minutes of any LG automatic cycle is for cooling down the laundry before the dryer ends the cycle.
If a dryer *counts down* to the last 6 minutes but the laundry is still not dry--the computer will allow the dryer to run until the laundry has dried or defaults (not drying within the additional time allowed).
Dryer vents that are longer than 8 feet with more than (2) 90 degree turns--can affect drying performance.
Setting the DRY LEVEL selector to *Very Dry* will solve most dryability issues. In homes with abnormally long vents--even the longer run time in the *Very Dry* setting is usually not sufficient to dry laundry loads.
Reducing the length of the vent or starting a second cycle becomes necessary to fully dry the clothing.
If a second cycle was started---only the amount of time that is needed to dry laundry will be used before dropping to 6 minutes and then the cycle will end with dry laundry. Bonus:
LG DRYER

Problem:
The dryer has an auto dry feature which never fully dries the clothes so we wind up manually setting the dry time to an hour.
Solution:
LG gas dryers are VERY temperamental in long vent set-ups. If fabric softener sheets are used in the dryer--clean the two stainless steel strips of metal on the lint filter housing with a SCOTCHBRITE PAD--scrub back & forth several times to remove the waxy residue from the fabric softener sheets. Most,if not all manufacturers do *not* recommend using sheets in dryers that have a moisture sensor (electrodes).
However--using a SCOTCHBRITE pad keeps the wax off those sensors which can be seen if looking *into* the dryer drum and at the lint filter housing.
If only *liquid* fabric softener is used in the washer--clean the dryer sensors once a month. Liquid softener also contains wax which can slowly accumulate on the dryer sensors from the laundry washed in the washer.

Hello,

Check your receptacle to make sure that you have 220v, with 110v on each of 2 legs. The dryer operates some things off of one hot lead, and some off of the other. Your motor circuit sounds like it's on the other.
If the receptacle checks good, check your wiring connections at the terminal strip in the back of the machine wher the cord connects.

Best regards,
