Kenmore 11070812990 gas dryer Parts

Kenmore gas dryer model 11070812990 is a full-size, standard-width dryer. Most Kenmore 110-series dryers measure about 27 inches wide, 27 to 29 inches deep, and 43 to 44 inches high. For the exact cabinet dimensions for your unit, use the specs listed in the 11070812990 owner's manual.

Typical dimensions you can plan around

These are the measurements we see most often for this style of Kenmore (Whirlpool-built) gas dryer:

• Width: ~27 inches
• Height: ~43 to 44 inches
• Depth (cabinet): ~27 to 29 inches
• Depth (door open): typically increases several inches beyond cabinet depth
• Capacity class: “Super Capacity Plus” (from the manual)

How to measure your dryer correctly

If you are fitting the dryer into a laundry alcove or replacing an older unit, measure your actual dryer and compare to the space.

• Measure width at the widest point of the cabinet (not the knobs).
• Measure height from floor to the top of the cabinet.
• Measure depth from the back panel to the front of the closed door.
• Add space for the gas line connection and exhaust vent behind the dryer.
• Confirm the model/serial plate inside the door matches 11070812990.

Clearance planning (quick guide)

What you are planning for	What to allow	Why
Side clearance	0 to 1 inch each side	Prevents rubbing and vibration noise
Rear clearance	4 to 6 inches typical	Room for venting and gas hookup
Top clearance	0 to 1 inch	Helps with airflow and easier installation

Why it matters

Dryer “size” is not just the cabinet dimensions. Vent routing, the gas hookup, and door swing can change whether a dryer fits and operates safely. Using the exact specs from the manual helps avoid crushed vents, poor airflow, and longer dry times.

If you are also planning a repair while moving the dryer, common fit-related parts for this model include the dryer drum belt 341241 and the dryer door seal W10906683. You can order replacement parts from the parts list for model 11070812990, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

For Kenmore gas dryer model 11070812990, the most reliable way to get the correct belt size is to match the belt to the model’s specified replacement part. If you’re measuring an old belt, measure its width and its total loop length (outside circumference) while keeping it flat and taut; stretched belts can read long.

Fastest way to get the right belt for model 11070812990

• Use the model-based parts list to avoid guesswork.
• Order the model-matched belt: dryer drum belt 341241.
• Confirm installation routing and access steps in the owner's manual.
• If the old belt is broken or missing, skip measuring and use the model match.

If you still want to measure the belt (good for double-checking)

1. Unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply before opening panels.
2. Remove the belt (or use a piece of string to trace the belt path if it’s still installed).
3. Measure:
   • Width: measure across the belt.
   • Loop length: measure the full outside circumference (wrap string around the belt loop, then measure the string).
4. Keep the belt flat and lightly tensioned; don’t stretch it.

What to expect when measuring

What you measure	How to measure it	Common mistake
Belt width	Straight across the belt	Measuring a frayed edge
Belt loop length	Outside circumference of the loop	Pulling tight and overstretching
Belt condition	Look for glazing/cracks	Reusing a belt that slips

Why it matters

A belt that’s too long can slip and cause slow tumbling or squealing; a belt that’s too short can overload the motor and idler system. Using the model-correct belt helps the drum turn at the right speed and keeps drying performance consistent.

Ordering tip

We recommend ordering by model number first, then selecting the exact part from the list for 11070812990. If you’re shopping for additional maintenance items at the same time, you can also search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
