How to figure out dryer model number?
For Kenmore gas dryer model 11076002012, the model number is typically printed on the model and serial rating plate in the door area. Open the dryer door and look in the door well or on the door frame for a label that lists Model and Serial.
Where to look first (fastest checks)
- Open the dryer door and check the door well (inside lip area).
- Check the door frame around the opening.
- Look for a rating plate that lists gas information and the model and serial.
- If you do not see it, check the rear panel label.
- On some gas dryers, the label can be visible after removing a small front access panel.
What the label looks like
Most Kenmore dryer labels include:
- Model or M/N (model number)
- Serial or S/N (serial number)
- Gas type notes (often “Natural gas” and conversion information)
| Label text | What it means | Why you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model / M/N | Exact model number (example: 11076002012) | Ensures correct parts fit |
| Serial / S/N | Unique unit identifier | Helps match production version |
| Type of gas | Natural gas or LP conversion info | Helps with safe, correct gas parts |
Why it matters
Kenmore dryers can look similar across multiple model numbers, but parts like the dryer door switch, igniter, or dryer gas valve coil kit can vary by version. Using the exact model number helps us match the right replacement parts and installation instructions.
Helpful tip for recording it
Write the model and serial number in the installation notes section of your installation guide so you have it handy for future repairs and maintenance.

Is a gas dryer 110 or 220?
For the Kenmore gas dryer model 11076002012, the dryer uses a standard 120-volt (110/120V) grounded outlet for power; the heat comes from the gas supply, not a 220-volt electric heating circuit. Confirm the exact electrical and grounding requirements in the installation guide.
What power does a gas dryer use?
A gas dryer still needs electricity to run the motor, controls, drum light (if equipped), and ignition system.
- Voltage: 120 Volt, 60 Hz AC
- Outlet: grounded 3-prong outlet
- Circuit: dedicated 15- or 20-amp circuit recommended
- Do not use: extension cords or adapters
Gas vs. electric dryer power requirements (quick comparison)
| Dryer type | Electrical supply | What electricity powers | What makes the heat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas dryer (like 11076002012) | 120V, 15A or 20A | Motor, controls, igniter, sensors | Natural gas or LP gas |
| Electric dryer | 240V (commonly called 220V) | Motor, controls, heating element | Electric heating element |
Gas supply notes for this model
Your 11076002012 is equipped for Natural Gas and can be converted for LP with the correct conversion setup.
- Use a new approved gas supply line and install a shut-off valve
- Tighten all gas connections securely
- If converting to LP, conversion must be done by a qualified technician
- Check the rating plate in the door well for burner and gas type information
If you need LP conversion parts, the parts list for this model includes the lp gas conversion kit W11581317.
Why it matters
Using the correct outlet and circuit helps prevent nuisance tripping and reduces shock risk; using the correct gas type and connections helps prevent ignition problems and unsafe operation.

What size is a Kenmore Model 11076002012 dryer?
The Kenmore gas dryer model 11076002012 is a standard full-size 27-inch class dryer. For planning a laundry-room fit, most dryers in this design range measure about 27 inches wide, 29 to 31 inches deep, and 38 to 43 inches high; confirm the exact cabinet dimensions and required clearances in the installation guide.
What to measure (so the dryer actually fits)
Use a tape measure and check these points before delivery or reinstall:
- Width: side-to-side across the cabinet (not the door swing)
- Depth: front of cabinet to back (add space for the vent elbow)
- Height: floor to top of cabinet
- Door clearance: enough room for the door to open fully
- Rear clearance for venting: most installs need at least 5 1/2 inches behind the dryer for the exhaust vent and elbow
Space and clearance guidelines for 11076002012
The installation requirements matter as much as the cabinet size.
| What you need | Typical requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Rear clearance | Minimum 5 1/2 in. | Prevents crushed venting and poor airflow |
| Floor slope | Max 1 in. under entire dryer | Helps the drum tumble correctly and keeps sensor cycles accurate |
| Room temperature | Above 45°F | Helps the dryer shut off correctly and dry on time |
Why it matters
If the dryer is squeezed too tightly (especially at the back), the exhaust vent can kink and restrict airflow. That leads to longer dry times, overheating, and repeated thermal safety shutoffs. Proper spacing also makes service access easier for common wear items like rollers and the idler pulley.

What size belt does a Kenmore dryer use?
For Kenmore gas dryer model 11076002012, the correct belt size depends on the exact drum and drive design used in this model. The most reliable way to match the belt is to use the model-specific parts breakdown in the 11076002012 installation guide and the parts list for this dryer.
How to identify the right belt for your 11076002012
We recommend confirming the belt by matching it to the drive system layout and drum style used in your dryer.
- Unplug the dryer (and shut off gas) before opening any panels.
- Check whether the drum turns freely by hand; a seized drum roller can mimic a “bad belt.”
- Look for belt debris (rubber dust) under the drum area.
- If the drum turns but the motor runs and the drum does not, the belt is typically broken or off the idler.
- If you hear squealing or thumping, inspect support rollers and the idler pulley at the same time.
Common belt specs (typical Kenmore 110-series style dryers)
Many Kenmore and Whirlpool-built dryers commonly use a multi-rib belt that is roughly in the low-90 inch range, but lengths can vary by model and drum configuration. Use this as a reference point only, then match to your model’s parts listing.
| What you’re checking | Typical range you may see | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Belt length | ~89 to ~94 inches | Drum speed, tensioning, fit on idler |
| Belt width | ~1/4 inch | Tracking on motor pulley and idler |
| Rib style | Multi-rib (several ribs/grooves) | Grip and alignment |
Why it matters
A belt that is even slightly the wrong length can slip, squeal, or come off the idler pulley, and it can also accelerate wear on the idler and drum support rollers.
Parts we often replace at the same time
If you are already opening the cabinet, these parts commonly get replaced with the belt because they share the same access path:
