To gain access to your Kenmore 90 series clothes dryer control panel, first remove two end caps on the end of the control panel.
STOP NOW and turn off circuit breaker feeding dryer if you have not already done so.
There is one screw on each end located underneath those end panel covers. Remove each. Two total.
After you have removed those two screws, pull control panel towards you until it stops, then flip it up towards the rear.
Notice how the control panel will stand up on its own after flipping it over. It is designed to remain in this position and will not break the unit, just look at the rear of the dryer panel and you will notice how it is designed and how this works, to hold it up in this position.
By the way, this is where the manufacturer loves to hide your paper wiring schematics for your dryer. They don't want you the consumer to know about it because 'we aren't competent, free thinking individuals which are able to work on our own things in life'. They have it stowed there for the tech rep which shows up to hand you a bill which costs more than a new dryer would.. But now you know...they usually fold it up and tuck it up under the wiring harness.
Now you have access to service and/or replace a large proportion of your dryer's components.
